New book
So I hadn't intended this to be a book blog, but I've been writing my own book, got a whole ton more to do but I just wrote 5 chapters last week! I'm also reading Book One of the Guinevere Trilogy called Child of the Northern Spring by Persia Woolley. I'm only on page 34 right now but it's really easy to get into & I'm excited to get more into it. I also recently found out that my library is giving away a free book for every 7 you read on their book list! So I'm going to start working on that very soon as well. I just need to quit checking facebook :) Really I need o get off of the computer all together since I'm on all day at work, and read more. I also need to paint & exercise. Right now my life consists of work, coming home and "vegging" for an hour or two, leisurely making dinner, cleaning, getting ready for bed & going to bed. I'm boring & I don't do much else. I think I'm getting burnt out but at least there's only 6 weeks left of school! I'm super excited & it's my goal to start running again before school gets out. It just needs to stop raining... :) Actually I love running in the rain, but I'm a pansy when it comes to the cold. I digress. I just haven't posted in awhile so I thought I'd put this out there. Read this good book. I also finished all of the Young Royals series I was raving about a few months ago. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I'd like to purchase them since I'd read them again. I usually only try to purchase books I know I'd read again, or books I find for 50 cents at the library that sound interesting. Other than that I mooch off of free books that people are throwing out. Hmm, for reading so many books you'd think I'd be a more interesting writer. Oh well. I said goodbye to my oldest little sis last week. She is going on a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to Tulsa, OK and the surrounding areas. I'm very excited for her & we received her first email already! She's with some very nice people and she loves the classes she's taking in the Missionary Training Center (MTC). She'll be heading out to Tulsa in about two more weeks & I can't wait to hear her stories. My dad came out here with her & I got to see him for a few days, which was awesome! He's been dating a really nice lady too which makes me happy to see him happy. Now I'm just getting ready to plant my garden (I found some Sumac plants on KSL that Evan and I are going to go pick up this week sometime) and I'm not really sure what else to plant honestly. The soil is rather crappy out here & I'm not sure how long we'll be in this house so we don't want to invest too much more. On another note, check out my erin imaging blog to see the fun high fashion bridals I shot over spring break, as well as the pics of my golden retriever Marshall. Mom, he knows he's my dog even if he still lives at your house :) Anyway, I took some fun photos of my sis, mom and cousins playing with the horses so I'll post those soon too. OH! Evan just surprised me with some Easter cookie cutters! (Pictured above) There's a bunny, butterfly, flower & an egg! YUM! Now I need a really good sugar cookie recipe. I Just LOVE the pillsbury ones and I can't seen to be able to mimik the recipe. Maybe I'll just try the rosemary & lavender shortbread cookies I found in 101 Gourmet Cookies for Everyone. I don't own the book because I've never tried the recipes, but hey, that's what libraries are for right? The lavender frosting sounds interesting. Anyway, I'm going to read my book now. Cheers!
