Book Signing

On Thursday night I took my two older kids and two of their friends (while their mom watched my two younger ones. Thanks again!) to a Brandon Mull book signing. I was just as excited as they were. I love his books. He wrote the Fablehaven series, the third book just came out. If you haven't read them click Here to find out more. The website is really cool check it out. We got to the bookstore at 5:30pm and waited in line to get our ticket. At 6pm they gave us a ticket and let us in the store where they had areas set up with activities. The kids saw school friends and had a lot of fun. It was so nice to not have to wait in line the whole night. They called our group of blue C's and we then had to wait about 20 min. in line to meet him. He was so nice. He took a minute to talk to each child. I was so excited for the kids that I almost forgot to have him sign the book I was holding. We were out of there by 8pm.

Four more days until Women's Conference. I can't wait, I've never been. I have a huge long list of things to do before Tue. I add more things everyday than I cross off. Blogging wasn't on my list of things to do. I better go get something done.

Tag Your It

Well blogging obviously isn't one of my strong points. I would really love it to be. I guess I got a little intimidated reading all of the other fabulous blogs out there! I think I was waiting for something really extra special to happen and then I could write about it! Not much happens in our home. I've been reading about all of these random animals invasions in people's homes. All we get are flies. That is pretty much our excitement lately. Although it was pretty funny watching my husband go around trying to catch the flies with his hands. I was having Karate Kid flash backs.

My daughter and her friend made my blog look all fancy so I felt like it was time to give it a try again.I figured an easy way to get back into it would be to answer the TAG I got back in Nov. So here are seven random things you may or may not know about me:


1. I am not coordinated enough to style the back of my hair.

2. I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints when I was 17.

3. I want to be on Amazing Race. When I walk in the mornings with a friend, we sometimes jog from light post to light post and I imagine we are on the last leg of the race and we are running to the finish line!

4. In high school I was in the AFJROTC.

5. I was born in Michigan.

6. I love frogs.

7. I have no musical abilities. (no surprise if I have ever sat by you in RS)

I can't figure out how to link to other blog so I guess I will only follow the second rule of tagging. I know I've done it before. That's what I get for waiting so long. I will have to figure everything out again.
