I finally did it. I am blogging! A big thank you to Mary Kaye for being the front runner in starting up the blog. I know the whole family enjoys seeing the Hopkin family blog change with updates pictures and videos! Both Brett and I are doing really well. We are excited to have a little addition to the family. Grand baby number #16 ( I think) Hopefully I will have a due date by the end of the week. I am feeling good, just really tired. I am especially tired today from our adventure last night. Brett's mom is a huge Harry Potter fan and bought the entire family tickets for the 12:10am showing. Shelley had even gone so far as to set out all the Harry Potter costumes for us to choose from ( she manages Star Costume--we are talking the real deal costumes, wands, robes and even an ugly sweater) Alas we didn't wear the costumes but that didn't take away from the Harry Potter experience. The Order of the Phoenix is by my favorite of the series and I wasn't quite sure how an eight hundred page novel would be crammed into a 2 and a half hour movie. Much to my surprise the movie did a phenomenal job covering the major parts of the book, yes parts and details were left out and the movie took a bit wider loop on the plot than originally written but end the end I would give it a solid 4 stars. I highly recommend it to all and just as a side note don't re-read or begin to read the book before you see the flick, let them do their job and entertain you for a few hours. ta ta for now
