If you give a man a wookie

via

Saw this on pinterest today and couldn't help but share it here! I showed Jake, thinking he would think it's funny, but he only thought it was funny because it was about Star Wars (he loves Star Wars). Not that it was from the children's book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie!

Yes he has never heard of it! Looks like Evelyn and I have some reading to do with papa!

The Great Divorce

Jake has been wanting to read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis but the Provo library didn't have any available copies. So we went for the next best thing. The Great Divorce. It really is an interesting book that talks about the divorce between Heaven and Hell. Well Jake brought this book to work. The people he works with always like to know what books other people are reading. Well they took one look at his and asked, "is your marriage okay?" So the whole day people kept questioning our marriage because it seemed to be just fine a couple of days ago! Jake couldn't help but laugh and explained to them what the book was really about. Geesh people. You need to read more!

Zombie

Sooo....we haven't decided if it's worth it to buy internet at our apartment. Hence why it has been a while since I have typed here. I am honestly dying with out it. We are both trying to be good and start budgeting so we shall see if the internet makes the list! I have so much to up date on but I fear it probably wont make it to this post because I have pictures I need to put up along with it. Yeah for pictures!!

Jake and I have been super busy with work lately. Especially me. I feel like I have been a zombie this whole week. Work has been super crazy and I rarely get off on time which doesn't really bother me but I come home exhausted. Still need to make dinner. Clean the apartment....which it never seems to stay clean! It's not that we are a messy couple but gifts keep trickling in. Don't get me wrong I am totally not complaining at all. But we get everything put away and new things come. Most we have to take back because we already have it. So we have a huge pile sitting in our living room of things we need to take back. It's been there for a week and keeps growing. Also I have boxes and boxes of old stuff that my mother is making me go through. It's a good thing though and it needs to happen. I have learned I have way too much stuff.

A miracle happened a few days ago. It may not seem like a miracle to you but for me it was. Jake is now hooked on a book. Gasp! I think my man has only read Harry Potter and the Book of Mormon all the way through. I love love LOVE reading so this was really hard for me to understand. I could go through a library and point out a plethora of books that I have read. Not so much for Jake. He doesn't really like reading. While we were engaged I made him promise me that he would read a series of my choosing. So Hunger Games it is! So far he is hooked. I absolutely love it and am soaking it all in.

Pronto

Alright.

I need a book to read pronto! Any of you have any good suggestions? Please holla if you do.

Review

So I finished my Audrey Hepburn book and loved it! Thanks Jamie! You definitely know me well. I'd thought I would do a little review for you book lovers. I love Audrey Hepburn and loved learning about her life. There were so many things she went through as a little girl during WWII and through her life that I had no idea about. It's not a "thrilling" book as you would say, and I could actually stop and put it down, however I learned a great deal from reading about her life. She always put others before herself and had a love of life that I envy. If you love Audrey Hepburn as much as I do, this would be a great book to read.

Nerd

I never thought I would be this excited over a new library card.

But I am. I know I'm a nerd. Who loves to read.

Everything.

Today

Today is the day that a favorite book of mine was published in 1925.

• "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  

Just thought I'd let you all know! Well I am off to depart with some of my plasma. Stay tuned....details will come later this afternoon.

Lack of Oxygen

Things to get done this week:
1. Bio Med test
2. Pathophysiology test
3. Art test
4. Dental Hygiene application
5. Essay for Dental Hygiene application
6. Empty my brain even further to come up with an art project
7. Clean up kitchen because no one else will do it
8. Get ankle x-rayed...it's doing some weird things

I tend to stretch myself too far occasionally and I don't like it when I do! It's exhausting! I'm becoming anti-social and I am not an anti-social person. I feel like a bug that's been picked up by a silly little girl and put in a glass box where I can't escape and lacks oxygen! I need to take a mini road trip or something. I need to breathe.

After all these feelings running through my head, I decided to stop everything that I was doing, grab a book and read. I had 30 minutes of bliss. 30 minutes to forget about all the things I needed to do and to get lost in a book. It was wonderful. Therapeutic.
