Friday Fast Five With...Angie Brennan

Angie Brennan

Birthday: July 1977

Hometown: Kingston, Ontario, Canada

1.     Are you a Twilight fan, Vampire Diaries fan, or both? I am a fan of both series.

2.   What is your favorite moment from either – or both - series? Twilight: My favourite moment in Twilight is the prom scene for movies and the books... I just loved all so I can't pick one favourite from them. TVD: Love Love Love the Elana and Damon hot scenes ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLAkXfKQzDA and the Klaus sex scene... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaXQ4qQffEQA

3.   If you could meet ANY member from either cast, who would it be and why? I would love to meet Ian Somerhalder or Joseph Morgan because they are obviously cute but also because they seem pretty entertaining in most of the interviews and events they attend.

4.    Do you like to read? If so, what are you reading right now? I love to read!! I am currently reading The Beautiful Creatures series.

5.  What are you most looking forward to doing during Mystic Falls at Twilight Girls Getaway? Well besides FINALLY meeting Jamie and Cami.... Also I am looking forward to all the fun events that have been planned with the celebrities! I can't wait to meet everyone from the page and getting away for some girl time!

Friday Fast Five With...Brandi Nienhuser

Brandi Nienhuser

Birthday: May 9

Hometown: Fort Worth, Texas

1.     Are you a Twilight fan, Vampire Diaries fan, or both? Both! Although my Twilight addiction goes a lot further than TVD.

2.   What is your favorite moment from either – or both - series? Fave moment from the Twilight series (books) is the meadow scene. (or ALL of Midnight Sun....man I would LOVE for her to finish that book!) Or maybe its the tent scene.....heck, it's too hard to choose! Fave moment from the Twilight movies would be the lion and the lamb scene (maybe I am a little biased since that is part of the meadow scene in the books!) Fave moment from TVD would be any Damon and Elena moment. Like when he finally told her how he felt but then erased her memory (and we found out she actually met him first) or when Damon thought he was kissing Elena but it was actually Katherine or the dance scene when Damon dances with Elena because Stephan wasn't there.....too many to pick!

3.   If you could meet ANY member from either cast, who would it be and why? Well I met Ian Somerhalder already so I guess it would have to be Rob! And the why is obvious! LOL! It's Robert freaking Pattinson!

4.    Do you like to read? If so, what are you reading right now? LOVE to read! Twilight definitely reopened my passion for reading. I had forgotten how much I love reading! Right now I am reading Game of Thrones (yes, I am late to the game on that one!) I haven't watched the TV series but I might look into it!

5.    What are you most looking forward to doing during Mystic Falls at Twilight Girls Getaway? The thing I am looking forward to the most is getting to spend time with Jamie! I had a BLAST at the last getaway so I know this is going to be a repeat! (meeting new Twi/TVD friends and getting to meet the actors is a major second though!)

Friday Fast Five With...Kat Davis

Kat Davis

Birthday: January 11

Hometown: New Albany, Indiana

1.     Are you a Twilight fan, Vampire Diaries fan, or both? If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago my answer would have been very different. Now that I watched TVD I love both! 

2.   What is your favorite moment from either – or both - series? There are so many to choose from! If I have to choose I would say from Twilight I love the tent scene with Jacob and Edward. The Vampire Diaries either the scene with Damon talking to Alaric's tombstone or the completely swoon worthy moment when Klaus tells Caroline that he wants to be her last love.

3.   If you could meet ANY member from either cast, who would it be and why? Taylor Lautner and Ian Somerhalder

4.    Do you like to read? If so, what are you reading right now? Love to read though I am between books right now. 

5.    What are you most looking forward to doing during Mystic Falls at Twilight Girls Getaway? Seeing friends from the last event and making new ones! And event wise the masquerade ball!

Post Office, Crazy Faces, and T-Shirts!

Have you ever had one of THOSE days…or one of THOSE weeks for that matter? I am in the middle of a doozy! Friday can’t get here soon enough for me (because as you all know…I LOVE Fridays!)…but until then, I have a few updates for you!

I rolled out of bed this morning (well it was more of a slide than a roll) and swung by the Post Office to drop these guys off! That is the LAST of them, so they should be hitting your mailboxes soon! Just a little note to let you know how excited I am to see you at the event!

After leaving the Post Office, I headed up to my husband’s office, because let’s face it, I get SO much more work done there (I honestly can’t imagine running a business from home – I get too distracted with ‘home’ things and can’t keep it together)…and I get to look across a desk and see him there, so I am pretty much okay with that too! I mean, who wouldn’t want to look at this crazy face all day (I look a little crazy too though - like I said...rolled out of bed...no makeup...no frills!)?!?!

I just want to thank all of the ladies on the event Facebook Group (it is for those who have paid deposits and are coming) for all of your input on the T-Shirt sayings! Here is what our shirts will say:

Sparkly Vampires, Hot Wolves and More

Dopplegangers and Witches Galore

Originals and Daylight Rings…

These are a few of my favorite things!

Mystic Falls at Twilight Girls Getaway 2014

I hope you all like it! I am thinking she will have a proof of the artwork ready for us by tomorrow. I don’t know about you, but I feel a Sneak Peek in the works!

Don’t forget that tomorrow we are kicking off our “Fast Five With…” feature here on the blog. We have selected three ladies for you to get to know a little more before the trip begins! Please remember that we will be choosing 2-3 of those attending to feature on the blog each Friday and we should have everyone featured by the end of January/middle of February! I think it’s going to be a fun way to get to know everyone going so you don’t feel like you’re walking in to a bunch of strange faces at the event!

As always, we are here to answer any questions!

Introducing...the Mystic Falls at Twilight Girls Getaway Production Diary!

We have some exciting news for you today!

We are going to start using the blog as a “Production Diary” of sorts. This idea came to me because of a text conversation I was having with one of the ladies coming on the trip (thanks Cherish!). We have a private Facebook Group for those that have paid deposits and are confirmed as coming on the trip. On there, we share some Sneak Peeks of things to come and I asked her what she thought of that. I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t ruining surprises for people. She said that she thought it was great because it kept everyone excited for the event and reminded them what they are saving and paying for. That last part really hit me because not only do I want you to experience excitement as we get things planned and purchased, but I want everyone to see the value of what they are saving for. I want you all to see that we are working so hard for each of you to have a great time once you arrive, and that everything we do is planned with you in mind!

So, we will start doing this today!

I also wanted to let you know that we are trying to make it as easy as possible to stay as connected to us as you want to be, so for your convenience, I have added an Email Subscription option to the right of the blog. Instead of having to scroll through the Event Page or Group Wall on Facebook to find out if anything was posted, you will receive an email each day with the new posts. Enter your email address and make sure to follow all of the directions you are given! It’s quite easy to get it set up!

You can also follow us on Twitter at: @GetawyGirls!

I will be posting a TON of blog posts today because I want to update you on what is going on and I also want to post pictures from last year’s event as well! For those of you who have attended last year’s event, you know the events and we planners are real, but others just finding out about might find comfort in seeing for themselves that we really do exist and have events! We are going to start heavily advertising the event this week, so this is the reason for the big "Update". 

Also, we will be doing a blog post each Friday that we are calling “Fast Five With…”. We are going to choose 2-3 ladies that are coming on the trip to feature and we will ask you to answer five questions for us. This is just ANOTHER great way for those coming to get to know each other before the trip even begins! We will contact you via Facebook or email (the one I have on file for you) – so be on the lookout for this! It begins this Friday and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone more! We will hopefully have featured ALL the women coming on the trip by the end of January, so everyone will have a chance to participate in this!

As always, I am here to answer any questions or address any concerns you have! You can reach me via the email address in the right column or by phone at: 334-303-4396.

Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday! 

...and just because what would a Blog Post be without a picture...

...ahhh...much better!
