In the early hours of March 15th, when most would be snugly tucked in bed, dreaming of sweet, impossible things (or, on occaision, dark, scary things), Bailey Sophia was brought into the world. weighing about 7 pounds, she was an adorable little newborn, with big round baby blue eyes and little to no hair.
Riley had spent the night, and at around 2 am we got the call; Liz was in labor. Approximately 4 hours later we drove to the hospital and saw little miss Bailey for the first time :)
In addition to that, in September we welcomed a new little yorkie-poo into our home, named Flynn. If anything, he has confirmed my decision to never have a dog. EVER. Waaay too high maintenance, I'll just have a fish thank you. Or turtles, if I decide to be brave :D
Now, on to The Hunger Games... I REALLY don't think you're ready for this, so read at your own discretion...
My friends and I had decided about a month before THG came out that we wanted to go and see it (I hadn't read the books, I know, shame on me, blah blah blah). So around two days after it came out, we headed out to the cinema to watch something that, just hours later, would become my favorite movie of all time :D Bravo, Suzanne Collins!! I normally have a dislike for movies for whatever reason, they're usually quite dull in my humble opinion. But this film is simply FANTASTIC. I immediately fell in love with the characters, especially Peeta (which, I suppose, is to be expected given that I'm a teenage girl of 14 years old =P), which is odd because I used to hate Josh Hutcherson (aka Peeta) before I saw it. But now I absoluetly love him :D Peeta is too sweet for his own good, but I LOVE him for it :) As soon as I could after I saw THG, I went out to buy ALL the books, and proceeded to read the whole trilogy in about two weeks (my brother thought it was quite strange, though I guess it makes sense since it took him two years to finish The Scarlet Letter =P). In the last chapter/ Epilogue, I must admit, I was grossly sobbing through it ALL. I couldn't help it, it was the most tragic/sad/depressing/heartwrenching/beautiful/FLAWLESS thing I've ever read. I was, however, utterly frustarted with Katniss in book one, but by Mockingjay I felt so extremely sad for her, particularly after what happened to Peeta (I still wonder if he ever remembered...). Poor poor Peeta, after he was hijacked and started to get suicidal (FOR KATNISS' SAKE. I ALMOST DIED) I nearly balled my head off. I blame the teenage emotions :D (I don't know what I'll do when I can no longer blame it all on that... =P)
Now, if I venture any further into the depths of love I have for The Hunger Games, I could end up writing a trilogy myself, so I'll spare you further details in case your mind decides to spontaneously combust from the Hunger Games love that's so strongly emanating from this post =P
I decided not to even get into writing about the Castle season finale, because I love it BY FAR a MILLION TIMES more than The Hunger Games, so you KNOW that's gotta be bad. Let me just say... After 4 YEARS waiting... Castle and Beckett are OFFICIALLY a couple!!!!!!!! :D:D:D Happy time!!! :D:D:D
If you're still reading this, let me just say, I love you. I mean it. Because all of this is pretty much me just rambling on about tv shows/ movies/ etc... THUMBS UP :D:D
TFR :D
Much love, Emily :) xxx
