It's Coming!!

Only four more days!! Okay, I know it make s me a total nerd to be so excited about this book release, but I really just don't care! It isn't very often that I come across a series that is this entertaining to read. No, they aren't the best books I've ever read, coming from a literary point of view, but they are captivating. I always seem to lose myself whenever I start reading them, and that is something!! Paul surprised me with the pre-order of book four. He paid more for shipping than for the book so I would get it on the 2nd. What a sweet husband!! Of course, I know he wants it just as much as I do. I'm still reading the third book to him at night. We won't finish before the 2nd, but he knows I'll be done with Breaking Dawn before he can probably blink an eye. If you want to pre-order, Amazon has a great deal, or you could go to one of the many midnight parties on the 1st to get your copy. If you really want it, I would suggest either of these two options, or you probably won't get one for a while. These books sell out so fast that they can't get shipments in fast enough. The last book was sold out in several states like Utah, California, and Arizona for a long time and people were frustrated. You've got four days to choose. Good luck getting your own copy!

A Step Back in Time

Here is a fabulous look back at Paul's glorious last night at Los Hermanos. It's so fun to see some of the kids who partook in the spoils of the night. Check out the cake that said "Good Bye Paul" instead of the customary "Good Luck". So hysterical, they were really mad at him for leaving. Those were the days!!

Happy Birthday Daddy

This is one of my favorite pictures of you, Dad! I love you so much Daddy!! I wish I could be there with you today to help celebrate being a year older and more awesome!! I hope you get to go out and eat somewhere you want to and maybe kick your feet up for a minute?!? That would be nice!! You'll have to check Jarom's email, but we sent you a little something. I hope you can use it, I'm sure you'll manage somehow!! Have a great day!!

Memories...

I saw this on a friend's blog, and I thought that it looked like it could be fun! Okay, here is what you do. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little, or a lot, anything that you remember. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. Ahh!... memories...

The Dark Knight

We got to see this yesterday. It is very, very good, but dark. I think that all of the characters did a wonderful job and Ledger is an awesome crazy Joker! Be prepared to be overwhelmed. So much happens that it is really hard to take it all in. I'm sure we'll have to see it a few more times. There where parts that I wasn't sure I wanted to see, so I closed my eyes, but really I don't think I needed to. They do a fairly good job of keeping out the gore, still it is very edgy and you feel worn out by the end. If you're hesitating, don't - it's a must see for sure. Suggestion, don't take your kids unless you want them to be afraid of clowns forever!! That's probably a no brainer, but you never know. Go see it, and enjoy!

Lack of Camping Blues

Ok, so I'm having some serious Patrick's Point withdrawals! I can't shake the feeling of wanting to be somewhere cool, by the ocean, and under the trees with my hubby, princess, and the entire famn damily. Here are a few of my fav's from the last two trips. There are a lot of my little family, but at the end are some awesome waves! Hope this numbs a few aches for everyone!!

Today's Activities

Paul and I have been painting Emma's room for the past two days. It looks really good, which is a relief. My body is aching from crouching for so long, ridiculous!! Then brilliant me decided to mow and edge the front yard by myself. It looks good too, but by the end I literally couldn't feel my arms anymore. I walked in the house with limp noodles. Then dear Paul asked me to write 20 invitations for a work meeting (his writing isn't very legible). I made it through and after a little rest, decided to tack this drab entry. I'll post pictures of Emma's room shortly. I want to get it all together first though. I'm still waiting for the rest of the wallpaper border to arrive. My arms are still shaking, and it feels odd. It's been a while since they have had such an extreme work out.
