I'm pleased...

"My" Charlie...
Bill Pullman was in "While you were sleeping", "Independence Day" (as the president), "A league of their own" "Sleepless in Seattle" as Walter, "Casper", "Spaceballs", "Wyatt Earp", and "The Grudge". I have seen all of these but the last 3.

For starters I did take a small break in between New Moon and Eclipse (for those of you who are Twilight fans) primarily because I had gotten pregnant and felt overwhelmed a little bit by time, even though I'm sure I had plenty of it. I don't know what it was. I LOVE read (thanks to my sister Connie) but I just didn't have a reading mood, so I took a break, (and also I was hating Jacob Black after New Moon...still do) BUT, I am going fast and strong with Eclipse now (half way through) and I just wanted to say that I am the type of reader that really enjoys when there is a movie put out on the book, I like more than one medium. I'm also the type of reader that doesn't imagine every little thing to a tee. Some things are more specific in my head and others I don't stew over too much. The movies sometimes help me finalize my imaginations actually. I'm always entertained by the movies anyway, even if everything isn't perfect.
I am pleased with who they have cast for Bella and Edward, I've only seen one picture of Bella, but I was happy about it. With the guy playing Edward I know they'll make him look awesome, he'll be really cleaned up, probably clean his eye brows up too and the make up will probably be awesome. After that, he'll act incredibly I'm sure and it'll be great. Edward to me has always had golden hair, so his hair is even the perfect color for me.

Even when I was a kid, I would read a little, mostly had to for school though, book like "Where the red fern grows" and "summer of the monkey's" and "Indian in the cupboard". I always liked to watch the movies that they had too.

I do have to say that I hope I'm happy with the casting of Charlie, and Billy, because I have pretty specific images of them. Charlie would be like Bill Pullman in "While you were sleeping" just a bit older of course. But rugged like that, and that same style of clothing, same raspy voice...ect. It has been hard for me to have a set picture of Jacob because he keeps changing and stuff. But I do have a picture of him at first and even a little after he changes but it's not really clear.

aaaah bummer, sorry I misread that!! Maybe we should write in and suggest him?!?!? =)

Can't wait to hear what you are having. Girls are a lot of fun, but we are hoping for a boy the next go around, though we would love another girl. You little guy is the CUTEST thing ever. We loved seeing & playing with him over thanksgiving. He is a little stud!!
