blog book


i now have 2 years worth of blog books/family history! i think that printing your blog is such a treasure! i found this place called BLURB and you can "slurp" your blog into this program and create a book! it "slurps" the words and the pictures. it's awesome! i finished my 2008 book in about 4 hours {and it was 162 pages}! my kids love to look through them often, and it has cut back on some of my scrapbooking. this is such a great way to keep up to date on things happening with my family. i'm so glad that BLURB created this! so check it out!

twilight, it will suck you in

i realized that i haven't updated for so long! a week and a half is a long time for me! one of the many reasons it has taken me a while is this new book by stephenie meyer. this is one of my all time favorite reads in my life, seriously. right up there with harry potter. like jk rowling, stephenie meyer makes you fall in love with the characters in a way that makes you feel like the characters are your best friends. both books i mentioned are in the young adult section of the book store, maybe i still secretly wish i was a teenager or something (not really, but sometimes!) this book is all about a girl named, bella who moves from phoenix to a small town in oregon, forks. she moves in with her dad and doesn't expect to find anything remotely interesting in forks. it rains all the time, and it's a small town. well, she meets a boy named edward, falls in love, and realizes he is a vampire. that's all i'm going to say besides...READ IT. it will suck you in! i love this quote by paul sweeney, "You know you've read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend." i literally dreaded the last chapter of twilight because that meant it would be over. luckily the second of the series, new moon, is out right now too (i read it in two days...i know, i didn't get anything else done!) the third one comes out in august, and the fourth in fall 2008...i can't wait. i feel like bella and edward are my friends...stephenie meyer is amazing and inspiring to me as a writer.
