My D12 is into Nicholas Sparks but has read all but his latest book. I went to Amazon and ordered it for her and was looking for a comparable author she might like. We found Richard Paul Evans and have decided that we’ll both read his Christmas Box Trilogy. I was blessed to share my love of reading with my S20 when he was younger, but D12 didn’t like to read chapter books outloud together and would get bored. Now that she’s older and an avid reader, I’m looking forward to sharing this with her.. not reading together every night, but reading the same books and talking about them will be just as wonderful I think.

Whaddayaknow.. DH came to 43 things and made his list. I learned some stuff about him! He wants to learn to ballroom dance too and go to the Grand Canyone. Get his dive certificate and spend more time with S20. Didnt know those were on the top of his list too. He also wants us to be in church more often and he wants to stop nitpicking us. Good stuff!
Gotta get started

Well, yesterday was Sunday and we didnt go to church. D12 and I were up early, but DH slept in. I should’ve got the ball rolling, but it was raining and we’re in the middle of redecorating D12’s room. Still, we didn’t start working on that until after lunch so we could’ve went to church in the AM.
