Another Crazy Week Down

This year seems to be flying by faster than last year, and we're trying to keep up with everything. This week at work was busy and next week promises to be even busier. There is a long 'to do' list sitting on my desk waiting for me on Monday. I plan on making it disappear by the end of next week (permitting that there are no Code Blue items that come in!)

I've started reading the second book for my book group. We are reading "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West". It's an interesting book so far (I've been so busy this week I haven't had time to get very far.) It is about why the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz the way she is. I did finish re-reading Breaking Dawn this week, and I did miss a few things. I'm glad that I re-read it :). I think that is my favorite book of the Twilight Saga.

Jason and I are also going to try something new on Sundays. Jason is calling it "Disconnected Sundays". We are so connected with everyone else, sometimes we forget to connect with each other. So we are going to try our best to resist being online all day on Sundays and just spend some quality time with each other. (I'll let y'all know how that goes!) We will have to leave our cell phones on as we don't have a house phone, but we aren't going to let ourselves Tweet, text message, or check our emails!

We are still looking for a vacation to take together also. We were looking at the calendar and I think there is only one weekend free between now and my trip to Forks with Lyndsye. I also don't want to travel too far from home at the end of May/early June, because I want to be with my sister and brother-in-law when my little nephew makes his first appearance. Then beginning in late August we start our Wolfpack Tailgate Marathon. There is a home game every weekend in September. October is also busy due to conferences for work. We just never seem to slow down! But we will find a time and a vacation this year!

Wish us luck!

Beautiful Week (the first part at least)...

I enjoyed the weather this past weekend and the beginning of this week. I'm so ready for spring and warm weather. I'm tired of freezing all of the time. It was nice to get to sit out on our back deck and just have a little time to relax and read a book.

I finish The Host: A Novel this week. It was a good book, it was written by the same author as the Twilight books, Stephenie Meyer. I like her writing style personally. I read for fun, I don't care too much about how good the sentence structure or wording is, it's just relaxing to me when it is an easy read and grabs your attention. Right now I'm reading Breaking Dawn (yes, for the second time...) I read it in about a day and a half the first time through and I started talking with some people about it and I feel I missed a few things. Since I liked it I figured I would read it again. I also met a few people online that like the same kind of books, so we decided to make our own little book group and talk about them once we all finished. Right now we are trying to decide on what book to read next. So you'll be seeing more updates to "What I'm Reading...".

Jason and I have of course been busy this week. Luckily, as far as I know we don't have anything planned really this weekend, so I should be able to clean the house and get the laundry caught up (if I can motivate myself to do it). I would really like to just lay around all weekend and read or watch TV, but I know I shouldn't. (Laundry seems to multiply faster since we have been going to the gym daily!)

I did find out today that their will be another little boy joining the Yoder family. My cousins Adam & Nicole are going to have a baby boy. This means that we will have 2 boys and 1 little girl joining the Yoder family this summer! (I'm not going to drink the water!)
