Another Good Read

I finished the book I was reading. It was great. Very touching and a lot of good information. So check it out.

Another Finished Blanket

I have finished another blanket for the knitting forum that I have joined. The name of this one is called Lavender's Green. Here is a before picture:

And here is a picture after I finished my portion:

I am also making alot of progress on the book that I am reading. I only have about 50 pages left. Hopefully I can finish it in the next few days.

Knitting Project and New Book

I have completed my first knitting project for the forum that I joined. You can view one of the blogs here. The blanket that I just completed is called "Sunny Days". Here is a picture before:

And here is a picture after I added my pretty blue yarn:

The little book that you see is a small journal. When each knitter completes their part of the blanket, they are to sign their name and write a small note. It feels great to have helped with a project like this. These blankets are for charity and are donated to hospitals. I am expecting my second blanket in the mail at the beginning of the week. I will keep you updated.

I have also chosen the next book that I will be reading. It is called Don't Bet against Me!: Beating the Odds Against Breast Cancer and in Life. It is written by Deanna Favre, the wife of the Green Bay Packer's Quarterback, Brett Favre. So far, it is a great book.

Great Book

I finished reading Mistaken Identity: Two Families, One Survivor, Unwavering Hope today. It is a great book. It tells of the great faith that one should have during a tragedy. It was a great read. I am now trying to decided what book to read next. I'll let you know when I decide.

Busy as Always!!

Well, we have had a busy couple of weeks. Addie's party went off without a hitch. It was great!! Tony has been busy with meetings for work and we had some family in for Megan's (Tony's youngest sister) graduation. And now Addie is sick again. She was around her cousin this weekend and he was sick, but we didn't now it at the time. He started running fever after she had already been around him. We took her to the doctor today and she has a terrible ear infection. And her throat was pretty red but they checked her for strep and it was negative. Thank goodness. She is on antibiotics for the next 10 days.

I have joined a knitting group at http://knittinghelp.com. I will be helping to knit baby blankets to be given to hospitals for charity. Someone sends you an unfinished blanket and you knit 4 inches and then send it to the next person on the list. I am so excited!! I can't wait to get started. I should get my first blanket in a few days. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I have also started reading a new book... Mistaken Identity: Two Families, One Survivor, Unwavering Hope. http://www.amazon.com/Mistaken-Identity-Families-Survivor-Unwavering/dp/1416567356 I am over halfway finished with it. It is great. You should check it out!!

GREAT Book

Wow... I finished reading "90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper. It was AWESOME!! Here is what it is about...

As he is driving home from a minister's conference, Baptist minister Don Piper collides with a semi-truck that crosses into his lane. He is pronounced dead at the scene. For the next 90 minutes, Piper experiences heaven where he is greeted by those who had influenced him spiritually. He hears beautiful music and feels true peace. Back on earth, a passing minister who had also been at the conference is led to pray for Don even though he knows the man is dead. Piper miraculously comes back to life and the bliss of heaven is replaced by a long and painful recovery. For years Piper kept his heavenly experience to himself. Finally, however, friends and family convinced him to share his remarkable story.

I finished reading it last night. So it only took me 1 week to finish it. YEAH!!! For someone who normally doesn't like to read... I am pretty proud of myself. :) Like I said, after the first 3 chapters, It is a MUST read...and now after I have finished reading it... it REALLY is a MUST read. I know it sounds crazy... but after reading it, I have no doubt that it is true. I hope you all go out and get a copy of it to read. Let me know if you do!!

Good Book

Well... I finally finished the book I was reading. I normally don't like to read, but here lately, I have been enjoying it more and more. I was reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. It was a really good book. It is about one woman's search for everything across Italy, India, and Indonesia. Gilbert set out on a journey to examine three different aspects of her nature, set against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy (eating and fun), devotion in India (prayer), and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence (finding love). I originally saw her on Oprah. Oprah said that everywhere she went she saw people reading this book. So I told myself... if it's really that good then I might enjoy it too. It is well worth reading. Today I have already started a new book... "90 Minutes in Heaven". I have read through chapter 3 already and it is EXCELLENT. It is already a MUST read for everyone. So check it out.
