Happy New Year!

I can not believe it is a new year again. Looking back it seemed to have gone so fast. I remember when my mom would tell me to enjoy these years (during High School) because after that the years just go by so fast. I thought she was silly....how could this day drag on any longer. Well I have to say that now I believe her! I have been thinking about New Year resolutions alot today and yesterday. I think that is why I am dragging my feet on this post...I have not really come up with any that I am dying to talk about. I mean there are the usual, get more exercise, read my scriptures more regularly, be kinder, eat better...but nothing has come to mind as "I have never tried it and I think this is the year to...." Maybe as this week goes on, I will figure out what there is that is missing in my life that needs to be added or I need to pay more attention to.

I have to tell say that these last couple of weeks I have been reading a new book! Yeah for me! I am love with them, right now there are three of them and sometime this year there will be a fourth one. I have heard so many people love these books, and I could not figure out why. So I finally gave in and read the first one...(Thanks Krystal for letting me borrow your copy of it!) So the books that I have have been reading are the Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. They are by Stephenie Myer and are the best books I have read in a long time. I got so engrossed in the lives of Bella Swan and Edward Cullan, that now that I am done reading the last one, I want to pick it right back up and start over, just so I can read about them again. I know that it sounds crazy... I have only read one other book that makes me think about the characters outside of the book. That is the Watership Down. (I read that in high school, and it is about rabbits. Very good.) I even went to her website and read all about her, how she came up with the book idea...there really is a town in Washington called Forks (where the books take palace) so I went to there newspaper and read about when she visited there, they made September 13th Stephenie Myer day...I read on the website about she is working on a book about Edward's point of view and the first 20 pages are available to read on the Internet. I am in LOVE with these characters. I am almost tempted to read the books again, just so that I am lost in their world again. However I think my husband would kill me. The house has really suffered...I have five loads of laundry on the couch, the dishes have only been done to the bare necessities, and the house is a general wreck. So I will resist the desire to pick them up again and just wait for the forth book to get closer to being released and then I will reread them all again!
