The Giver



Best book I have read in a while now. I never had to read it in High School and I'm kind of glad. I don't think I would've appreciated it then. 
You should read it if you haven't. 
I think my next book should be The Hunger Games. Trevor read it and loved it and so has every other person in the world! Or should I say Ward??? :)

Everyone that I have recommended The Hunger Games series to has yet to tell me they didn't like it. SO... I agree, this should be your next selection for reading material. :o)

GO READ IT! It's the best book I've read in a really long time. Even Chris liked it & he doesn't like to read much.

Funny-I JUST finished reading The Giver, last week. Jaden (my 5th grader) picked it out. His class had to pick a Newbery Award book to read for a class assignment, and he chose The Giver. I decided to read it as well.
He hated the ending! He wanted Jonas to take the Giver, Fiona, and Asher with him as well.
I asked him why and he said The Giver, to have an adult with knowledge with him, Fiona for his wife, and Asher for a friend. He said they could all raise baby Gabe together, and start a new life.
Very insightful for a ten year old! I am getting the new Kindle today and have already downloaded the Hunger Games onto it for when it arrives~I can't wait!
Good luck on the first day of school! As far as the clean house, warm folded laundry, and dinner on the table~I thought that's how it would be here-but I still have SO many things going on that life is still as chaotic as ever!

Growing up

My babies are growing up and having their own babies.  That looks just like them.   I love that the adorable-ness is being passed on. Don't they just look so much alike? Seeing Weston reminds me of when Emily was a baby. Easy going, knows what he wants, smiles A LOT, and loves having fun!

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

From three years ago?   This one here.   And so.... it begins again. This time Trevor is being transfered to Idaho Falls to manage a Columbia Paint Store (Sherwin owns Columbia). They're also going to be moving carpet into his store so these past 3 years have not been for nothing! They have taught him so much about what he likes in a job and what he doesn't. And for now, this is where he wants to be. I have loved Boise and am so sad to leave. Especially Candice. That is going to be really, really hard. There are not enough really's to express how hard it will be. We move on the 22nd. Our house will go up for sale and we can only hope it sells as quickly as our last one did! This will be our 8th move in 11 years. Not too bad. Well, actually, that's kind of a lot. This will be the girls 4th elementary school. WOW. Enough, already, right? I don't know what exactly the Lord has in store for us in the future but we are so excited for this new chapter in life. ...
