Rob and Kristen-- Thanks for the Memories

Twas the day before Thanksgiving...

And I realized that most of the world

doesn't celebrate the holiday.

But it is a good time to reflect on what you 

are thankful for in your life...

Of course I'm thankful for family... friends

But since this is a Pattinson blog...

(Yeah... it really is)

I thought I could maybe relate my thankfulness

in terms of Robert.

1. I'm thankful for this picture.

This is in my top 3 all time favorite pictures of Robert.

I love everything about it.

The cigarette

The drink

What he's wearing

The look on his face

His hair

Where he's sitting

The background

And the fact that it's black and white.

Thanks Rob.

2. I'm thankful for EW and their outtakes.

Wait.

I'm thankful for all of the outtakes

I have seen through the years.

They are usually better than what gets into the magazine.

But I'm especially thankful to EW

because they love Robert and Kristen

and never hesitate to put them on a cover...

3. I"m thankful that Rob and Kristen

always take such adorable pictures together.

I think the EW article said they were

affectionately teasing each other.

I know some people focus on what Kristen says

and say she insults Rob...

But I'm thinking Rob gives as good as he gets.

To be able to goof around and have fun with each other

and show a sense of humor...

No matter the situation

is an important part of a relationship.

4. I'm thankful for pensive profile pictures of Robert.

In black and white.

You may have noticed I have a thing for black and white pics.

I do.

Always have.

I think it's because they seem so real...

Like you can see everything clearly.

I love Robert in profile.

And that he always seems to be thinking.

5. I'm thankful for being able to see

Rob and Tom laugh when they are together.

I absolutely ADORE their friendship.

After all these years..

and Rob's immense fame

They remain loyal friends.

I'm thankful they have each other.

6. I'm thankful for Tom Sturridge.

I guess I should be thanking Rob for introducing me to Tom...

But I think I would have found him anyway.

I'm thankful for Tom's piercing blue eyes.

His soft wavy hair.

The way he holds his cigarette...

And all the silly 'jumpers' that he wears.

I'm thankful for his beard

And most of all...

I'm thankful for his voice.

It melts me.

Just thinking about it makes me a bit swoony.

Thanks Tom.

7. I'm thankful for the Twilight/Rob/Kristen fandom

for being endlessly entertaining.

You've got your Stir Potters

(I know its pot stirrers... but I like mine better)

You got your Soap Box fans

who think their way is the only way.

You got your Needy "Robstens"

Who fret over every detail

You got your lunatic fringe

who make drama out of nothing

and hate for the sake of hating.

You got your "above it alls"

Who act like they're above the drama

While in fact gossip and trash talk behind your back.

You got your insiders

and sources

and hackers and thieves.

You got your believers and your haters

and your candlestick makers.

Well.

You know what I mean.

I'm thankful for it all...

Because you make me laugh every damn day.

(And if you're wondering... I would put myself

into the believer stir potter category... just for fun)

8. I'm thankful for Nana Rose.

Yes.

She really exists...and no

it's not me.

She's my Italian grandmother...

Who I am named after

And became "Nana" Rose

because my cousins couldn't say Nonna.

I love her... so much.

She is strength. Determination.

Love. Passion.
I can only hope to be like her one day.

9. I'm thankful that Robert and Kristen

have managed for the most part

to stay out of the public eye.

Yeah... we've gotten a few pics of them

coming back to THEIR place.

(and oh how that has silenced the pack)

But they have flown under the radar.

And I couldn't be happier.

We don't need pictures anymore.

Not like that.

Robert has given us day after day of smiling

and answering the same inane questions

And he signed all those pictures people shoved in front of him

and he gladly smiled for the camera

Sometimes taking the picture himself...

(and remember... he doesn't like having his picture taken)

He endured the screaming

The tugging

The grabbing

He did that all for us.

So now...

Can't we do this for him?

Can't we let him be?

Leave him and Kristen alone.

Let them enjoy their peace and quiet

Let them enjoy each other.

We know they are together.

We don't need pictures every day to prove it.

There is nothing left to prove.

10. I'm thankful for Breaking Dawn.

I love this movie.

I've seen it twice.

And it's not enough.

I love Bella walking down the aisle all nervous

and not knowing if she can do it...

And then how her face lights up when she sees

Edward waiting there for her.

And then the song...

The prom song...

THEIR song comes on.

And you are taken back to Twilight

and all those good happy memories.

I'm thankful that Robert looks wonderful in this movie

Because I had my doubts looking at the movie posters.

I'm thankful that Rob and Kristen have such incredible chemistry

and that they shared their glorious connection

in real life...

With the people sitting in the darkened theater.

I'm thankful that Rob and Kristen did blur the lines

every now and then.

Because loving someone in real life always shows on screen.

It can't be helped.

And most of all...

Even though I have to wait a year to see vampire Bella...

I'm thankful that there is still one more

movie to look forward to.

This post is brought to you by Thanks.

And most of all...

In all the world and beyond...

I am most thankful for my 2 incredible boys.

They are the best part of my life.

The best part of me.

"These are the children God has given me.

He has been good to me."

Bye for now
