ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 27I can vouch for the active schmexy times at mid-forties . . . they are still existent and still really fun! This story was certainly a good one . . . I enjoyed it. The sort of surprise of Ella, was a great little addition. I thought it would have been planned, not a surprise. Still it was really nice. She seems adorable . . . spunky. Thank you once again for the fun read! |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 25I love that you had Ellie at a party where she got drunk, by adult supervision, amongst friends. We had this every once in a while growing up and it made you feel safer. Now, they have that law in affect here in California that if parents do this, they get real actual jail time . . . and it's not a short jail time either. I think it's horrible to take that from the kids, but again, I'm not a mom, so I really can't judge. I guess too many parents bitched to the right people. Ugh. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 24Poor Ellie . . . I've had food poisoning four times . . . all from chicken in four different restaurants . . . I never, ever eat chicken that I don't cook myself . . . EVER . . . not even at a friends house, or family. I pass and eat the sides . . . not worth it. You showed that they have simple growing pains in the way of the clothes and toilet paper. I love the relationship Edward and Ellie have . . . it's beautiful. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 23I was glad to see the BJ in there as well. You mentioned in your a/n that Scrimmy was bugging you to put more into your stories. I was noticing that there weren't any in this one . . . when suddenly . . . there it is. I like that you prefaced it by stating that she was doing them, you just weren't writing them. That made me giggle. I like the Edward's to get theirs too . . . ya know? |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 22That was a really sweet chapter. I liked his gift to her . . . he's just so thoughtful. Her gift to him was a good one also. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 21Yay! They moved in together. I think it must be so hard for both moms and dads to let their children go like she did. I'm not a mom, chose not to be, but I can't even imagine what that does to you. College must kill some parents out there. Or, they're jumping for joy to have their home back . . . hehehehehe. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 20We do that in my family at Thanksgiving and I love that tradition. You wrote it so well! Each character was in completely their own and anything repeated by another dinner companion sounded fresh with that character. Esme telling Bella Edward is staying the night . . . cause she wants to get her own schmexy on was great. Then Renee piping in with the doctor giving the all clear . . . BUT . . . having Rose be the one freaking out, was so much better than having it have been Bella. That was awesome! |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 19Laundry room . . . brilliant! Totally loved that the whole freaking family is on the house and they did this . . . fantastic! Especially the ending with Rose saying, turkey is in the oven out here, not the dryer . . . snorting with laughter . . . Emmett will not let them live this down! Great chapter! |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 18So sad for Alec and Kate. Poor Kate not being able to try again for fear of it happening all over again. Ugh. I love the seemless move of him into her house . . . even if it isn't full time yet, it will be very soon I think. Loved the end with him needing a goodnight kiss . . . sigh. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 17Ruh-Roh . . . did something happen to Alec's wife . . . yikes! Lovely chapter. Loved the conversation of all things personal, being forced by Emmett. Gah, I love all Emmett's in the fandom! You've got a cheeky one here, that's for sure. Just bringing up babies like it's all cool. Then the fun sides he makes Rose make . . . "blue balls", funny. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 26I liked those two OT's! Gave us the insight to Edward that we knew, but a little bit more. Especially the bit of her being oblivious to him at her store. Yea, sigh. |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 16That was a fun night out. I wish we had a place togo like that dance club . . . ours are loaded with teens with fake id's and the young twenties . . . ick . . . I love that age, but not when I'm trying to get my dance on. LOL. The ILY's, with the capital "L" this time, came as I knew they would. These two are fun. I liked the schmexy time as well. The next morning will be fun . . . the younger girls will be all giggly . . . hehehe. Gonna run over to see the EPOV's you mentioned in the a/n note . . . |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 15I've said this before, but I love texts in these stories . . . it makes them so real. Love Edward's "O.O" response, to her telling him to bring a spare toothbrush . . . that made me giggle. The talk with Ellie was really cute. Poor Ellie having to deal with the boys at school calling her a MILF . . . and her struggle to not be excited about the compliment . . . simultaneously being creeped out as well. That was fun! |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 14Awwwwww, they "Ilower case LY", each other . . . hehehehehe . . . it'll be the true ILY's soon with these two . . . the one with the capital L . . . yay! |
ChristyWIX 6/7/13 . chapter 13Why are you so squicky about your lemons? They are just fine . . . and always perfect for the couple you are currently writing about. NO reason to run and hide . . . this was beautiful. I love that he knew he wouldn't last long as he hadn't done that in so long. Terrific! These two are finally at a place where they can move forward. I'm going with she is on the pill . . . or just cause it's fiction . . . you don't get pregnant from unprotected sex . . . that one made me giggle! |
