The finale to

My 4 year Twilight indulgence
A source of, questionably-deserved, ridicule
I admit to being 30
Silly
And a hopeless romantic
Who's hopelessly in love with her husband
So when he teases
Because he does
I remind him I'm into tall skinny guys
Especially the one I married
And while sparkly vampires and werewolves ARE silly
So is the weekly excitement that accompanies the BCS ranking release
And he laughs at me

Monday was the movie marathon
(1 lifelong friend + 4 movies) x4 children = A day I wouldn't trade for 8 hours of solid sleep
Lost in friendship, and make-believe
Surrounded by the chaos of animal crackers, dolls and markers

Saturday was movie day
(1 lifelong friend + popcorn and coke) - 4 children = Pure enjoyment
I'm not a critic
Generally, I only spend money on movies I think I'll enjoy
I wasn't disappointed
Breaking Dawn was just as I had hoped
And now it's over

So I'll go back to being 30
Silly
A hopeless romantic
Mommy
Friend
And forever head-over heels with my own personal version of Edward

For the love of make-believe, romance, Twilight, and friendship,
Me

Battle

From a foggy dream we awake

The mirror reflects our imperfections

We beg for strength 

And whisper words of gratitude

While strapping on invisible armor 

We clothe our bodies 

And ready our hearts

We brace for another day

In an imperfect world

Filled with unseen enemies

And angelic warriors

It's more than just another day

It's a battle for the hearts of men

Salvation belongs to The Lord

The battle is won

Yet

We're call to fight

For the love of hope-especially on the heavy days, and fighting the good fight 

Me
