Twilight 170.365

Yesterday was my "official" first day of summer vacation. :) I spent the day reading Twighlight. It was the rage in the jr. high classes and even some of my 3rd graders started to read it. So, yes, I was sucked up into the hype, and sat down to read this book. I finished the 500 pages in two days! I must say, it was an easy read, but it did keep me flipping the pages. The story was enjoyable, the characters likeable (what's up with Rosalie??), and the action suspenseful. This is definitley a good summer book, beach book, traveling book, etc. I have already bought New Moon and am debating starting that one today or waiting a little bit. ( I really need to clean my scrapbook room and get restarted in some scrapping!!!)

Happy summer to all!

Joke Book 119.365

The Academic Decathlon team at our school is going to the state competition soon. Our decathletes have been working hard, meeting as a group twice a week (4 hours total), and working with their subject coaches. Each class is sponsoring a decathlete or two, which means we pray for them, make them cards, and thinks like that. We sponsor three students - two class siblings and my Danny. Our class thought that because they work so hard, they need something to relieve the stress. We collected our favorite jokes and made them a joke book. Each student in our class will sign the inside of the book. We will present it to them just prior to the event.

The Shack

This book was recommended to me by a couple of co-workers. I finally got around to reading it and just finished today.

I don't want to give away anything that happens in the story, therefore it is difficult for me to talk about the book. Let me say that this is a wonderful, moving book that gives you a look into the nature of God. I know that all of us have had moments (even days or years) when we feel as if God has forgotten us. If this is the case, please find the time to get this book and read it.

It is not a difficult book to read by any means. After you have read it, let me know. I would love to chat with you about your thoughts and feelings after reading this book. You can contact me by viewing my profile. I hope to hear from you soon!!
