Ms. Lea Cullen aka: ROBSESSED

Well, I guess it is my turn...It started about 6 years ago....

My husband Chris and I were newlyweds and enjoying our new life together.  We have a son, Gabriel, who is turning 12 next month.  He is the best thing to ever happen to us and it was time to try for another.  Well... somebody should have told me that having baby #2 was going to be so difficult!!!  I wouldn’t have waited to 28 to have another...hell, Chris and I wouldn't of NOT tried to have a baby for so long!!!  Sheesh!!  Anyhow, after a year of trying on our own....we finally got pregnant!  YAY.…......NO.......Things didn’t work out the way we wanted and I miscarried 9 weeks in....WE WERE DEVASTATED!  Needless to say...trying wasn’t as much fun anymore.  Around 6 months after that, we started the infertility process....THAT SUCKED!!!!  Hormones, hot flashes, and crying...lots of crying!!!  I was depressed, I couldn't be around Prego’s, and I definitely couldn’t be around babies!!  That started the water works immediately!  Then one day...... a friend at work, Ms Denise, brought in this thick black book, and on the cover it said, "TWILIGHT"!!  That caught my eye.....  Now, I am not a big reader...in fact I hated reading!!!  You couldn’t get  me to read a book for anything....I would fall asleep every time without fail!  After a lot of convincing from her and Ms. Nina, who is a total bookworm, I finally agreed!  Best decision....EVER!  I started reading the book and was instantly hooked!!!  Like if pheromones were seeping out the pages...I just couldn’t get enough!  Finally, with 1 chapter left, I couldn’t wait any longer!  I made my husband Chris take me to see the movie......OMR (O MY ROB)!!!!!!!  I WAS IN LOVE!  After that night, I went home, it was a Thursday evening, I finished the entire series by Sunday evening…. And I have read it more then 5 times since then…

Twilight for me, began my healing process. It was a distraction and something to look forward to.  Instead of days wasted on feeling sad and sorry for myself, I was able to refocus myself on something else…someone else…. Something more healthy.  My husband Chris has been extremely supportive in my new hobby, even though he complains in public…he still brings me home magazines filled with Twilight.  Like he always says, “HAPPY WIFE HAPPY LIFE”  Twilight saved my life in many ways….it will hold a special place in my heart for all time.

About a year and half ago....I went to family night at Angels Stadium for my sons school.  Now I knew Ryan, Anne's son.  He had been in class with Gabe since kinder...They were there and Anne caught sight of my Twilight bag I carried.  Chris and Jim, our husband's new it was all over from there!  I got to hear all about their upcoming trip to Forks, and I knew I had to convince them to go again....and so here we are....leaving for Forks....in less then 48 hours!!!
