Well, there it is in a nutshell...kind of. I've been keeping up with the family posts, but not commenting. I know, that's evil. I'm also feeling great sympathy for Tyler and Kelly and their many moves. I'm hoping this is the last time for us forever! Would love to hear if any of the rest of you are going to the wedding. Well, I must go pack and clean some more.

What craziness! I really need to update my blog also - but where's the time. :)
Reese and I are going to the wedding (she's free on flights). So I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
Do you have any book recommendations? I'm so behind that I don't even know what's out there anymore! So, are you going to move into this dream home?
What kind of reading do you want to do? Smut? Education? Myster/Suspense? Action/Adventure? Fantasy? I might have a recommendation or two.
First we have to get ours on the market, which should be done by Monday. Then we can make an offer, but it will have to be contingent upon our sell. We can't have two houses. I'll keep you posted.
I want easy summer reading, so mystery/suspense, action/adventure and maybe smatterings of smut =). You know, a good story line. I am also a non-fiction fan, too. When I've been to bookstores lately, I get overwhelmed.
I'm a great fan of Kay Hooper, mystery/suspense with a slight supernatural twist and a love story to boot.
James Rollins is another new favorite, great storylines of mystery and adventure, and most times with a love connection. Not the crazy smut of female authors though.
I've heard great things about The Shack, a christian novel. I have it but haven't read it yet.
OH yeah, and I love love love the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. If you read his book, Lake House, you'll love these. They are actually YA literature. I've been recommending them to Jr. High and H.S. kids. Those who have started them, read through the whole series.
If you are adventurous enough for fantasy, I really love the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. I'm re-reading the series before I read the last 2 or 3 that I haven't read. Awesome. One of my all time favorite series.
I should have just put this in a separate post, speaking of novels!
Thanks for the tips! I have heard of The Shack. Everyone says it's awesome.
I hope all goes well with the house selling/buying. It is possible for that process to go very quickly, and I hope that is true for you.
