Story Time

Wow! Do you see this? I have two posts in one day. It is a miracle! This is actually an addition to the previous post. For those of you who follow my sister's blog you may recall that she has the attention span of a goldfish well it seems I have the memory of one and am likely to forget important things such as which books I have already read. So here my list of books that I read in 2010 in order:

1. Twilight written by: Stephanie Meyer
2. New Moon written by: Stephanie Meyer
3. Eclipse written by: Stephanie Meyer
4. The Work of Wolves written by: Kent Meyers
5. Heartless written by: Michele R. McPhee
6. Pope Joan written by: Donna Cross
7. Mr. Darcy's Daughters written by: Elizabeth Aston
8. The Last Templar written by: Raymond Khoury
9. Riding Shotgun written by: Rita Mae Brown
10. Breaking Dawn written by: Stephanie Meyer
11. H.R.H. written by: Danielle Steel
12. The Last Child written by: John Hart
13. Barefoot written by: Elin Hilderbrand
14. Cleopatra's Daughter written by: Michelle Moran
15. Expecting Adam written by: Martha Beck
16. Dogtown written by: Stefan Bechtel

My favorites from the year are Eclipse, Pope Joan, The Last Child, and Expecting Adam. The others were fine as well but I can't give them all a flying colors review. Maybe this will give some of you a good idea of a book to read. If you have any questions about any of them let me know just remember I don't remember very well.

Yada Yada, Happy New Year

Well, Christmas has come and gone but I am still reminded of it everyday when Conner wakes up and says "Merry Christmas." We have been working on saying "Happy New Year" but he just can't seem to shake the idea that tomorrow is his birthday and the day after that Santa is going to come.

Here's a quick rundown of the last few weeks. Had a birthday, turned 26, Yippee! I am finally on my way to 30. Scary right. Christmas came and of course we were all spoiled. Thanks everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday. New Years was fun. Cidnee and I attended the PBR bull riding event that took place locally. We had to go without our male escorts because they were both sick (Joe and Victor you missed a good show). Conner had a blast at the babysitter's house and in fact didn't want to come home. We stayed up until midnight, Happy New Year, then all went to bed and slept in this morning. It has been a very nice pajama day but I can't leave until I reveal a few of my resolutions for the new year: 1. Run the Missoula Half-Marathon again (preferably with some training this time) 2. Blog more (this was a resolution last year too and we all see how well that went over) 3. Stick to a budget (ya, right) 4. Read more books than I did last year (which was 16).

I hope you all had a very safe and enjoyable new year. I can't wait to hear your resolutions and I hope you can stick to yours better than I can to mine. Good luck!
