Fleming Island has a movie theater!?!?

It is official, we are moving up in Clay County! We now have 2 movie theaters, wow! Last Friday the Carmike Cinemas opened their doors in Fleming Island. Thursday night the Quigly House had a fundraiser event and hosted a "pre-grand opening". I am not really sure what strings Libby pulled to get us tickets, but I am thankful she did! It was very exciting to say the least. I mean, how often do cool things like this happen in our town? This event was more than we expected, including red carpets and doormen wearing tuxedos. All we knew was that we needed to be there from 7-8 for orderves and then each theater was playing a different movie at 8. As soon as we walked in Libby and I say that Twilight was playing and we screamed like two junior high girls who just got tickets to a Hanson concert (go back in time with me for a minute, okay?)...we were EXCITED!

After reading all the books and talking about Twilight together for weeks, it was pretty stinkin' awesome to see the movie together at a movie theater before it was officially open to the public. OUTSTANDING describes the night actually. Even Ashleigh who had not read any of the books (she is reading them now) enjoyed the movie-that is once we stopped embarrassing her! Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment, I am sure you can tell we had a great time!
