Book Club, Countdown, Campout

Yesterday was book club at my house. We discussed the book by Randy Pausch "The Last Lecture". To those of you who haven't read it, you can borrow it from me and read it! And, you better too! It is a great book and we had a nice turn out. I was glad some of my friends were able to make it. We missed those of you that had to work or were otherwise engaged. I loved having some time to talk about the views in the book and get feedback from my friends. Bottom line: I really liked the adult conversation!! Thank you for all who attended!

The countdown... well, who wouldn't count down the days until this guy arrived?

Well, the countdown is on and he'll be home in less than a handful of days! The visit will be short lived - he will most likely fly to his ship the next day. MAN!! The adventures he has! He's been catapulted off a ship before, now he is going to be caught on one!? How cool is that?! Anyway - I digress. So, we are excited to see him for about 20 hours before he leaves us for another week and a half.

The camp out. Big debate here in my head these past few hours. (The downpours yesterday, the dripping trees today, how weather-proof is my tent?, hmmm, my toddlers - will they get sick?) then on the other hand... (wow, what an adventure, it could make it to my blog!!, if I don't do it - I will remain a boring person, heck - let's do it for the adventure!!!) So, I am thinking we will tough it out! It'll be WAY fun!! I just know it! I'm sure you'll see what happened when I get back and am able to post pictures/stories. Wish us luck (and not lots of rain!!).
