Confession...

...I am part of a Book Club! Two of my five (regular) readers are also part of this book club, so I shouldn't make fun. I'm actually an avid reader when I have time...or when I'm procrastinating. So far in less than two weeks, I've read 5 books. I've just started my 6th.

My current read is Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber. I've actually read most of her books, but I think this could be my favorite yet, and I'm only on page 67. The idea of the book is to create an "inventory of wishes"--wishes and hopes for the future. It's a little like the movie the Bucket List that came out earlier this year.

Jordan and I have talked about our Bucket List many times and I think I'm going to actually write down my wishes! Some of them are silly and some may be sentimental--I don't know yet. I'll just start with the ones I know for now:

  1. Scuba Dive in the Great Barrier Reef
  2. See U2 in Concert
  3. ??

As the list grows, I'll continue to update. I would encourage you to make a list for yourself too! If you have a blog, link to it in the comments. I think it would be fun to help each other make our wishes come true. Happy Wishing!

PS: Here's the list of books I've read recently. It's a fairly eclectic mix, so there's probably something in there for everyone.

  1. All We Ever Wanted Was Everything - Janelle Brown
  2. Ricochet - Sandra Brown
  3. Sundays at Tiffany's - James Patterson
  4. Between Sundays - Karen Kingsbury
  5. Double Cross - James Patterson

After Twenty Wishes, I have Sail by James Patterson waiting for me.

Update?

Wow! I've been a BAD blogger lately! The girls are keeping me on my toes constantly, but there hasn't been anything exciting to report. We've spent a lot of time at home just having fun and hanging out together.

Lamar and I went back to work officially last Monday. Lamar's worked hard all summer with football, but now it's in full swing. The girls are back at Lolly's and I know they were excited for a change of scenery. Lolly has travelled a LOT this summer and we've missed her!

I've read several good books lately that I would highly recommend:
  • Back on Blossom Street - Debbie Macomber. Anything she writes is good!
  • The "Seasons" Series by Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock. Great Christian fiction! There are 4 books and I read them all in less than a week.

Gigi - I promise to post pictures this week! And, we can't wait to see you next Sunday!

Tonight we celebrated Papa's 80th Birthday! I can't even put into words how special my family is to me...especially Papa. Lolly put it best here!
