Well friends, I think our club has been forgotten. There is life...new offices (congrats jen), graduations (congrats erika...again), new jobs (yay me!). AND...a Royal Wedding! That may have been the biggest event in my life...since ever. I was may more obsessed with it then I should have been. I watched it over and over and over and cried every time. Let me just say that I loved LOVED her dress. And he was so handsome. And Harry was adorable. They just looked so happy, and that made me happy. I don't even know these people. It is weird that I feel so invested in their marriage. I am not even British for goodness sake!
In other news, I have read some really good books lately. My most recent favorite is Extremely Loud, and Incredibly Close. It is a compelling story about a young boy whose father died in the world trade center on September 11th. (Isn't it weird that you never have to say the year when you mention that date. Forever now in history you can say "September 11th" and everyone will know that you are talking about) I highly recommend this book. I won't discuss about it, just in case you actually do read it. Oh there are so many things I would love to tell you that I love about it, but I won't. I will however tell you that this book made me really look at those I care about and why and just amde me appreciate all the wonderful people in my life...and their quirks.
Just FYI...my friend and i started a book club here. We have lunch and talk books. We are going to be reading Cutting for Stone next. I would love for you to join us!

Abby, I was so obsessed about the Royal Wedding, TLC played Diana's wedding the night before and then played Kate's wedding over and over and i did the same thing, and I thought if people knew how may times I had watched it and how many times I cried/smiled they would think I was crazy!
I tried to check out cutting for stone at the Logan Library but it was checked out with an "unkown" waiting list so I checked out "Little Bee" because I heard it was good ant the librarian said it had an Africa story but its a very criptic book, they don't say much about it I guess you are just supposed to read and let it warm your heart.
