Twilight

I don't get the phenomena. Twilight has certainly impacted a certain demographic. I talked to Bridgette for about an hour tonight and I'm pretty sure she talked about Twilight for a solid 30 minutes of it.

Did you know it's actually a book series? I had no idea. Apparently there are 4 books. I asked what the big deal was and she said that it's just got everything...action, romance, drama, suspense. So I mentioned that I might have to look into it and see what all the fuss is about. Bridgette then said, "Well, I kinda think it might be for like a younger crowd, Auntie." I was truly taken aback for a split second. I asked if she thought I was too old and she said that I might be. I've never thought that I was too old to read a book that Bridgette is reading. Even when she was little, I loved reading all her kiddy books with her. Now, she thinks I might be too old to really "get excited about it". Just to prove her wrong, I think I'm going to look into it. Let's hope I like it and don't find it too immature or else she'll be right.

Maybe being near 31 is too old to really connect with my nearly 15 year old niece, but I hope not. Bridgette and I have a good relationship and I always want her to call me on Sunday nights and talk to me for an hour...I think I might still be sort of cool to her. I hope so. I love her dearly.

Daniel and I with Bridgy, Alli and Kimmy when we were home for Bridgette's confirmation in October. Seems we're all looking a bit older. Perhaps that's not such a bad thing afterall.
