Twilight

Once Chris and I found out we were having a girl. I immediately started my search for the name of our little girl.

Time and again, I announced a few names to Chris. And, time and again Chris said no, no way, and hell no to the majority of names I came across.

We went weeks coming up with names. Contemplating hundreds of girl names.

Finally, in a loving and gentle voice my tongue released the most beautiful word that came to mind.

"Bella"

Chris blurted out, "Okay Bella it is."

Over the course of a few months my hair stylist along with ladies from work all asked if I had seen the movie Twilight or read the books authored by Stephanie Meyer.

Time and again I answered, "No, why should I."

All of them answered, "Because the main character's name is Bella."

Well, from there on I was hooked.

I've watched the movie and hundred times now and finished the last of the Twilight Saga, "Breaking Dawn" this evening.

Now, I have a serious obsession with Twilight. Not only because 'Bella" is the main character and in love with a gorgeous vampire, but because it really is a terrific read and its an emotional journey that will keep you wanting more.
