Magnolias. The beach. The mountains. springtime

Thanks for the GRITS in the meal!!!----> I started some toast and bacon and grits.
I am wearing my GRITS (girls raised in the South) right now!

I love a Southern Edward, y'all!!---> “Just get him drunk or catch him when he’s really tired. His Southern comes out all over place,” ANd I live near Charlotte, too!

Will Edward be a souvenir??

In Seattle, they say the MOUNTAIN is out (Mt Rainier) just like we would say the SUN is out! It is quite a cultural difference! Ever been to Seattle?

Great chapter! E + B, NOT B + jake. TEAM EDWARD!

Oh Boy! A baby! I can't wait! Please let the guys make a huge fuss over her! (I am assuming. If you have already told the sex, I forgot.)

Everybody on the Island! So cool! Excellent chapter!

I was wondering if maybe this was significant'? Like another baby n the way?? "My head began to swim as I thought of it all and I was suddenly unbearably sleepy. Lately, whenever the stress and uncertainty and the sheer number of things that needed to get done in too short a time got to me, I was overcome by the irresistible urge to sleep. I was beginning to wonder if I had developed an acute case of narcolepsy."

Good chapter! Alice and Jazz are so cute! I can't believe she didn't know,
either!

Why do I have the feeling that B & E will be moving BACK to SC?? The South RULES~!

Keep up the good work! I will miss this story! You have done a great job!

I liked that! I love to hear from Jazz! It was great that everyone was so willing for Jazz to be a part of the family right away.

I hate those parents, though! Even though J is beetter off with the Cullens, his folks should have had the decency to make sure Jazz was settled! Good grief!

You know you have written well when you get a reaction like that, huh?

NOTE: After One Year Later, my screen showed a series of white blocks were the text should have been. When I scrolled over the white areas with my cursor, blue text showed up and I was able to read the rest of the chapter. I wanted to mention it in case you can do anything to make the text consistent, and maybe you won't get too many messages about it.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

I loved this chapter!

On the nontraditional side, Alice and Jasper had chosen to ignore the old superstition of not seeing one another before the ceremony. They were going to have a few minutes alone together and then have their pictures taken before the ceremony started. ----- That was a great idea! It is actually a little surprising to me that Alice let the wedding be as traditional as it was! I also like that they got some of the pictures out of the way!

Our life together was�”finally�”normal, and only what the two of us chose to make of it. I knew that Bella was content, that she accepted that I wasn’t ready to give up working for Francke. She threw herself back into her work at Beck’s and seemed to be loving it like she used to. ---- A little premature there, Edward! You should know that as young as y'all are, things are not set in stone in your and Bella's life. Evidenced by the major change of plans before the chapter was over!

everyone rose to see not just Alice, but Alice and Jasper bringing themselves down the aisle, giving themselves to each other. After all, both of them had been more or less given away in their early lives, so the tradition held a darker meaning for them and had no place on this happiest of days. ----- You come up with the best stuff!!! I love how they did this! Like you said, it made good sense with their backgrounds. But I also like it because I usually feel that the groom gets the REALLY short end of the stick when it comes to the wedding ceremony. This way both Jazz and Alice got the full attention of the congregation.

We had moved beyond the dance floor out onto the beach so that we were dancing in the sand, our shoes kicked off in a heap next to us. Between the sounds of the music swelling and receding with the rush of the waves in the nearby ocean, the smells of fantastic food and the ripe tangy scent of the beach, the stunning visual beauty of the setting and feel of being in Edward’s arms, I was on sensory overload, content to sway purposelessly forever. --- Whoa, that sounds like Bella's version of heaven! Beautiful! (Of course, I don't think that Edward would be at all disappointed with that scenario, either. ) Great description!

“I know, but I also know you well enough to know you wouldn’t steer me wrong for your own purposes.” -- Great! I can't think of anything the parent of an adult child would rather hear.

"Time for Alice and Jasper to throw the cake and cut the bouquet and all that crap,” --- Leave it to Emm to provide the comic relief!

“This was, without a doubt, the most beautiful wedding ever in the history of the world,” Rosalie said, only slurring slightly. “Until mine, of course!” ----- Very much a canon remark for Rose! It all really comes back to HER!

I cut out the light ---- YES!!! My freshman roommate just about bust a gut when, on our first night in the dorm, I asked her if she were ready for me to CUT out the light. She thought that was the weirdest thing she ever heard and could hardly get over it! Well, that was until the gym teacher we had in common used the term "might could."

I gave them a brief sketch of my idea for Cullen Architects. Dad seemed intrigued, yet skeptical. I understood it, but my conviction of the night before had not changed. I knew it would work. ----- I had noticed that Edward was making all kinds of plans in his head before he said a word to Carlisle! But it does sound like a good idea, both business-wise and personally, for all of them! I look forward to how you handle all of these big changes!

GREAT chapter! I would be glad for you to write many more chapters, but as the author, your decision about how long you make the story will be ok with me! Please keep up the good work!!

Good line! He does have a rather VARIED lineage!---->
I wore the same cuff bracelet as the rest of the Cullen men, and also occasionally adorned some sort of Quileute emblem, but I couldn’t really where a shirt that said “Kiss me! I’m part vampire, wolf, and human!”

I had figured that ouT!

gREAT job! I would love to see other stories from jasper's POV.

It is AMAZING that you wrote this before reading Midnight sun! You are so in sync with it! Outstanding!

I Liked the notes that B & E passed back and forth!

thanks for the update! Please update again soon!

I knew that I would be spending the rest of eternity with her. --> Huh? Did Edward forget that he is now human? Or is this just a way of saying they will be together for the rest of their lives? I may just have to wait and see....

I have to know who that GIRL is. At least I am convinced that it is not Bella. can't be Daisy, can it???

Please update again soon.....

This was great! I am still reading, can't WAIT for what B has to say!

I like the fluffy stuff! Good job!
