Read a Book!

I love reading. Growing up my Mom always read to us, even after we learned how to read ourselves. We read all of the Boxcar Children, and various other series. To this day I still enjoy listening to my Mom read, only this time it's to my nephews :) Because of my childhood reading I am still a voracious reader to this day. It's something I really enjoy. 

Which makes it crazy that I have never done a book list or what i'm reading now post on this blog!

These aren't all of the books I've read recently, but some of my favorites! Hopefully it will inspire you to read as well!


 I read a LOT of fiction, but I have recently really gotten into non fiction as well. Right now I am FASCINATED by the Kennedy era and his untimely death, so I have been reading many books about the Kennedys.  The above two books are my favorites, next to Killing Kennedy by Bill O'Reily. Clint Hill is the author of both, and he was the Secret Service detail for Mrs. Kennedy. He was also the agent that is seen climbing on the back of the car when President Kennedy was shot. His books are so fascinating to me. Getting a glimpse of their lives and then a step by step look at the five days leading up to and after President Kennedy's death.
 This showed up as a suggested book on the free or almost free website I check out everyday (Bookbub, if you're wondering!) And I immediately snatched it up. If you've ever wondered what went on in the hospital during that time, this is all eye witness accounts from the medical students AND the Dr's that tried to save President Kennedy's life. If you work in the medical profession I think this would be even more interesting to you!

 Onward to fiction and happier times! Ha! I love Sandra Byrd's novels, I just finished the second book in this series. And I'm hoping the third book is free soon on bookbub :) It's about a small town USA girl who has dreams of living in Paris. And then her dreams become a reality! They are well written and it's cool to get an insight into french culture and their way of life.
Oh Becky Wade, how I love your books! Her newest book finally got to my library and I read it this weekend. Actually I read it in about 24 hours. It was that good. It's a book in the series about the Porter family, but you can still read it if you haven't read any of the others.  I love how she mixes faith, with real life, and pop culture references. Several of her characters I can see parts of myself in. I think that's what makes her books so enjoyable AND relate able. Love her!

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

9/52

So I'm doing my best to get these weekly wrap up's done on Monday each week. Today has been a DOOZY. It's 9 pm and I am just now sitting down to check email and such. So if this post isn't the most well written, you'll understand once you read next week's wrap up about today!  In happier news we started off last week with my BIIIIRRRTTHHHDAAAYYYYY!!! And nothing says your Birthday like watching One Tree Hill and eating a piece of ice cream cake with lunch. Spoiler alert, I had a piece of Ice Cream cake every single day last week.  The chalkboard was updated, but sadly none of my pictures with said chalkboard looked decent.  I rocked my Be-You-Tiful shirt and a new necklace my Mom had given me.  And then I had a little photo session in the piano room with my balloons. Because, it was my birthday. and I was alone. So why not!  This is pretty much me in a nutshell... :)  Normally, I try to get work done before students arrive...
