Bella, Jacob, Edward...etc

I finished Breaking Dawn today.  I'm sure that if I would have had more free time or if I hadn't committed to working out and reading my Bible, I probably could have finished a couple days ago.  I'm glad though that I took my time (a full week) reading this last book in the Twilight Series.  I have to say, I heard some horrible rumors about this book and in my experience it wasn't nearly as bad as many people proclaimed.  In fact it may have been my favorite of all 4 books.
Finishing this book couldn't have come at a better time.  Guess what came in the mail today?  My books from BookSneeze.com!!!  Starting tomorrow I'll start Out Live Your Life by Max Lucado, typically I won't have a time restraint on the books I volunteer to review.  In this situation though, because there are so few reviews on Lucado's new book BookSneeze has requested that the book is read and reviewed by September 10th!  No worries there....after reading a 754 page book in 7 days I feel that 173 pages is a feat I can tackle rather easily!

My Mom called today and tried as hard as she might to find out where we are moving.  She said she had found a Christmas present for Bud & I, but she was afraid that if we were going overseas that it would just sit in storage.  She also said she didn't know if she should renew her passport.  She was trying as many angles as she could to try to narrow down whether we were staying stateside or going abroad.  It makes me chuckle that for once I get to have a secret!  She also wanted to tell me that she learned an interesting fact.  Apparently, we lose 90% of our eggs as women once we hit the ripe 'ole age of 30.  Again I have to laugh, because I continue to tell my Mom that Bud & I may wait until we've been married 10 years before we consider having kids....or maybe we will only adopt....or maybe we won't have kids.  I feel that at this stage in my life it's best to keep everyone guessing.  In the mean time I can enjoy this time with my husband and know that God has a plan and he'll let us and everyone else in on it when the time is right.

I hope everyone has a blessed evening!

  1. I love keeping secrets from my family and friends. Finding out what Miles was and making them wait until I saw them, not knowing what Lacey was, having Miles' name picked out but not telling anyone. Knowing I was pregnant and not telling anyone. I love having them guess!
    Breaking Dawn was my favorite of all 4 books too!! I can't wait for the movie to come out!!

  2. I read through the Twilight series as if my life depended on it. I've never really done that before...except maybe with all the Left Behind books. I too heard horrible things about Breaking Dawn, but it wrapped everything up so nicely that I really liked it. All my questions were finally addressed. Loved the closure.

    Have a great evening. Now you have me guessing where the move is to:)
