Hey everyone. Sorry its been a while since I posted last. Scott is doing just fine. Not much happening for him. That's a good thing. They are still talking about moving but still don't know much else. The dates keep changing. That's the Army for ya. He is doing good though. He has a schedule right now that he really likes. He is able to get everything done that he wants to in one day. He has a work-out that he is doing and he really enjoys it. It keeps him busy. That is pretty much all the is going on there. He got to call Chandler and Katii a couple Saturdays ago. Katii was beside herself. She was so excited she was bouncing off the walls. Chandler too.
So I have to tell you, I just finished the Twilight series. And, Oh My Goodness! I have not been able to stop talking or thinking about it. These are the best books I have ever read. I have never been a reader. I never liked it. I have never found a book that I wanted to read again. Half way through the first book I was excited to finish them so I COULD read them again. I don't know how I did it but I passed book reports in high school with out finishing the books. But these book I would gladly give a report on. In detail! Just so I could tell someone else about them. I really didn't care for high school and didn't really do my homework. But when I started reading these books, things changed. I actually set my alarm, two mornings in a row, so I could get some reading in before I ran my errands. Now that's just crazy! I also have never been a fast reader. I was finished with the first book in a day and a half. The second book was two and a half days. And the third took me a week. I would have been done with it faster, but when I started the third one it was at the same time I started my new job. So that took eight hours out of my day that I couldn't read. I also had to put it down like a hour before bed time. Because of some of the action that I was reading one night, I didn't get much sleep. I learned my lesson on that one. So, Kimi, you have to read these books. You still have some time before the fourth one comes out. I will be reading them again before the next one gets here. I'm so glad that Momma D. was able to finally push them on me. I mean, a day and a half, I have never been able to read that fast. That has to say something. Well I hope all that have read these books have enjoyed them as much a I did. I think that the setting, taking place in WA., made it more vivid for me. I could actually see and I knew what the writer was talking about. Anyway, I hope all of you are doing well. I'm so excited to be an Auntie again!

Everyone out here is obsessed with the Twilight series! I need to borrow them from somebody and read them this summer! Glad you liked them so much, it's motivating me to read them myself!
Glad Scott is doing well! I haven't heard from him by email in a while so I appreciate your update!
Oh yeah, I loved the Twilight series myself. They sure suck you in!! (This is Kim, not Chris by the way). Anyway, glad you caught the reading bug. Have you ever heard of Anne of Green Gables? It is the first of a very good series...good reading, romantic and fun. You should check them out.
I love being a new mom by the way,...all except for the lack of sleep. Oh well, it comes with the territory.
Thanks for the Scott update!
Gari Jo... yeah! I thought I'd lost touch with you forever. Please email me...
