“As you create a home, don't get distracted with a lot of things that have no meaning for you or your family. Don't dwell on your failures, but think of your successes. Have joy in your home. Have joy in your children. Have joy in your husband. Be grateful for the journey.” ~ Marjorie Pay Hinckley

Home * Sweet * Home

We're home. :)

Back from a week long vacation at the beach with the Mac Fam. :)  I love them all sooo much - and this year - we had another banner year....

AND....

I will have lots and lots of pics to post. :)

We had such a great time at the beach. :D  I read MOCKINGJAY in one night.  I didn't want to wait to come home and buy it - so I bought it at the beach...only....they don't have "Borders" or "Barnes and Noble" readily available like they do here....so I tracked down a store that would sell it to me (with a 35% discount for paying cash) so I had them reserve it...Bob's Beach Books....HOWEVER...

The internet posting (yellow pages!) completely SCREWED UP the address....and sent me 20 miles out to no-mans land to Robert's Rare Books....and then it took me another 20 minutes to locate the {blankety-blank!!} store and park.

And...I have to confess....before I read it...I read the Epilogue...(I was too emotionally vested to not!!!)

But I read.  I loved.  I cried at ONE PART.  (Those that read it oughta know which one...) and when it was all over, I hugged my book to my chest and sighed.

And kicked myself for rushing through it....'cuz now I have nothing else to read. ;P

I also highly recommend reading Rick Riordan's "39 Clues" series. :)  Too cute. :) Kiddy reading, but really cute kiddy reading. :) And James Dashner's 13th Reality.   They're good.  Real good.

And now....I have to unpack.  And catch up my laundry (we went through 4 outfits a day for the boys!!) and take a bath. :)

I'll post pics later.... :)
