The Wonder of Kindle

For Mother's Day or as we call it at our house, (Jen is Awesome Day) Carl bought me a Kindle. I was really skeptical at first about getting one because I love having a book in my hand, and I thought an electronic device would take a away from the feel of reading. It doesn't! I absolutely love having a Kindle. This summer I have been able to read a lot more than I allow myself to read during the school year. Having the Kindle has opened up a lot more reading material for me as well. It is also fun to have so many books right at my finger tips. It is amazing to me what technology can do these days. If you are thinking of getting a Kindle, do, you wont be disappointed! However, I will warn you, you might get addicted to buying books!

New Nephew

  The first baby on my side of the family was welcomed into the world on May 23rd. Congratulations Ty and Megg!

Carl and I were able to come up on Friday, as soon as school got out, for the summer (hip, hip hooray!!!) so that we could meet him. He is one of the cutest babies i have ever met! I love being able to hold him. Carl was absolutely adorable with him. He was so gentle and careful. We love you Shad, and are so happy to be your aunt and uncle!                                                                                                                                

New Start

I don't know where to start. The past couple of years have been very trying and because of that  I have not been the best at staying in touch with the people I care about. When Carl and I were home for Christmas, Misty convinced me I needed to get back on the wagon and start a new blog (since I hadn't been on my old blog in over a year and I couldn't remember the password; and the email that was tied to the old blog was inactive and I couldn't retrieve the password : O ) So I am starting over and hoping to use this blog to keep in touch with my dear friends and family that I don't get to see very often. I miss you guys and apologize for disappearing! So with this post I vow to journal more about what is happening in my family and to keep in touch with my extended family and friends. I hope you haven't given up on me : )
