New Moon Party in Idaho, Girls Night Out!

My sweet Mom surprised my sisters and I with tickets to the biggest New Moon/"Twilight" Party in Idaho. Mom drove and once we got in her car, she surprised us with our own Twilight party bags loaded with stuff like "Type A Blood Juice", Twilight Woods lotions and perfumes, New Moon official candies, Warewolf Kibble, etc. It was such a fun 2.5 hour drive out there with lots of good conversation. A lady Mom works with is the one who told her about the party, she was with a big group - 3 SUV caravan, called "The Ogden Ladies". So we decided to be part of the caravan and follow them up. They were all so excited and funny. Once we got to Pocatello and pulled up to the Funeral Home, we noticed all the ladies waiting outside the building because it wasn't open yet. But they had live entertainment by a local Indian tribe and fires to stand around. I was like oh great, it's freezing, but I am going to end up smelling like a campfire!











When the building opened, we were all given New Moon Bags stuffed full of fun stuff like the T-shirt that said "Part of the Pack" that we had to wear, more official New Moon candies, book lights, Necklace, more Twilight Woods lotion, and much much more. So we put our t-shirts on and began to explore all the rooms. It was so much fun to see and do the different activities in various rooms of the Funeral Home. There was the Wolf Pack Cafe for dinner, a store with official New Moon/Twilight merchandise to buy, auction room, Cullen baseball Homerun (Wii game) room, Vampire bite on neck painting room, auction merchandise display room, etc.












The dinner wasn't all that great, it consisted mainly of pizza that tasted like cardboard and a few pieces of cheese and some drops of pizza sauce, which was cold. Once we sat down at a table, Emily made it her mission to take one of the apples that had Twilight vinyl lettering on it. Then they had the auction with all the really cool gift baskets put together by some local companies and people. All proceeds were to go to Make a Wish Foundation. We didn't get too into the auction, things were totally being bid up, and I didn't really want to fork out 100+ dollars for a Mary Kay gift basket with $50 worth of product in it. So we ended up waiting in line for the bus which was going to shuttle us over to the mall for the movie because we wanted good seats. Apparently, the lady who was over the party got kind of upset at the 50+ people who lined up early for the bus. The bus (all 3 of them) ended up not coming. We later found out that Mecinda had previously paid the bus company in cash to bus everyone to and from the movie. The man she paid was getting ready to retire, so he just pocketed the money and didn't write down the reservation - they had no record of it. So Mecina made an announcement over the intercom that we all had to drive ourselves, which sucked because we didn't know where the mall was! So women went running out of the funeral home as fast as they all could and sped to the theater. We waited in line for a long time to be let into the theater. Once we were in, they had strobe effects and fog smoke to set an eerie scene, which was kind of cool. In lieu of previews, they had their own movie they made, asking different women of different ages questions about the general Twilight saga. Such as, if Edward were to turn you into a vampire, where would you like him to bite you? It was pretty funny. We LOVED the movie. The movie ended just after midnight and we drove home from the theater. What a fun night out with the girls, thanks Mom! :)
