Ashley Wilkes Stockingdale

I just finished part 3 of my fun, new novel series. Unfortunately, three is the lucky number the writer came up with to end the series. But, Ashley has married the handsome Kevin and lives happily ever after.

It's wired how much you can get into the lives of "fake characters". I have to be careful after I'm done with my emotions... to come back to earth for a time. You get so wrapped up in it-- I don't have a TV but it's just like a soap opera except you can "see what happens next" WHENEVER YOU WANT!

Well, I think that I'm through with the novels for a while. You can't hold a conversation about a novel very well--rather, my husband would talk to me about theology for hours. I miss have everything to fresh in my mind. It's like, there's so much information out there that, even at the speed Mike reads, he'll never be able to get through it all. Amazing. God is so good. Anyway, A Faith for All Seasons is my current read and it's a toughie. I wanted a book that would stretch my academically so that I would be able to grow in my reading skills but also in my everyday communication skills. Working at a school where the students, in 5 months, will read almost as many books as I've read in my whole life I need to be able to communicate. I don't understand how reading can do that to you. It's like, my whole vocabulary changes when I'm stretching myself. (too bad my spelling doesn't improve as well)

Well, that's my ramble for tonite. I have worked some overtime this week so I'm not going in until 9 tomorrow. YES! I've been up at 5:00am (and occasionally snooze to 5:30am) everyday this week. Mike and I are sleeping in!!

Love you Mom. 2 weeks and 3 days.
