If I were a writer...

Only if I were a writer, could I put into words how wonderful my yesterday was. I went with two of my good friends to Seattle for the day and then to the best little book signing (over 2,000 people). We arrived in Seattle in the early afternoon, giving us time to go out to eat at a delicious Thai restaurant.
After lunch, we walked around the pier for a bit.
Becky and I got a free ride on a bicycle taxi!Then we spent some time at Pike's Place Market
We walked around just long enough to give Reagran some massive blisters with her new (fabulous)red shoes. She forgot about her pain when we arrived at the concert hall. She was so nervous to meet Stephenie that I thought she might throw up or faint. Luckily she was able to relax before that actually happened. We had so much fun at the concert.

Listening to Stephenie talk about the book, and to hear the music, played live by the lead singer of by Blue October, that inspired some of her character's actions was so amazing. We waited in a huge line after the concert to get our books signed. It was weird to meet someone for the first time that you feel you already know. I had to remind myself that she didn't know me and that we aren't best friends- Darn!!!
After the concert we went to get burgers and dessert before our drive home. What a wonderful day! Thank you, Reagran for a very thoughtful birthday gift. It is one I will never forget. Rock on!
Speaking of rocking on- I wanted to just make a note of how awesome Justin Furstenfeld is. You might recognize his song "Hate Me" on the radio. That is just one of many moving songs. Watching him perform was so touching. He sings with such emotion in every song. He played his acoustic guitar which made it that much more personal. Stephenie talked about "Hate Me" being the song that Edward would sing to Bella in "New Moon" in the meadow. Wow! Listen to that song now- it lets you know exactly how Edward felt when he left. The first two songs on my playlist are a couple of my favorites by Blue October.


Since this kind of day doesn't happen to me often enough, I wanted to put ALL of my pictures up. I just had too much fun!
