'Dear John'
Last night I bought Nicholas Sparks', Dear John noveland I could not put it down. I read into the early hours of the morning.I cried more or less the entire time.All I have to say is...Best Author EVER!I don't know how he does it, but wow... just wow!Anyway, when I bought the book, I noticed that the cover was a movie poster type cover... and Channing Tatum was on it... as well as Amanda Seyfield. But I was more focused on Channing Freaking Tatum. I pictured him as John the WHOLE book. And I am so upset, as well as miserable. I really

Road trip to Flagstaff, Arizona... sorta
On Saturday, I made a spur of the moment decision.(I rarely ever have those moments)So, when I decided that it would be a nice day to just get up and go, I didn't expect to end up 4-5 hours away from home. Because, obviously, those kind of trips should be planned in advance. But no. Not this past Saturday.My best friend, Shaun, had text me about her hometown's Annual Christmas Parade, which was happening at 1pm... (it was about 9AM, and I was still in bed).

(And that I am going to head to Costco and buy more than 1 box of oatmeal)After I had

A real, real post
OK, so this is my first real post for the month of November. The others don't count because I didn't really blog about my daily life or such.On Saturday was our scheduled appointment for our holiday family portraits. I had been waiting for the day, partly because I was excited and terrified. This was my first attempt to get all four boys together in one photo... and dressed nicely. But to my horror... we made the appointment, but we never had a chance to get a decent photo taken... and by never having a chance, I meant...Kai hadn't taken his morning nap, so he was at the beginning stages of being fussy, Turtle, was angry with me, so he would not smile or take
