In My Life
- This week (Wednesday) is my Blogoversary!! For Love and Books will be one year old! I can’t believe it’s gone that fast, and I’m working on a year in review post/celebration/giveaway! So please check back then!!
- Speaking of Wednesday – my husband should be home Wednesday night! He’s only been out for 4 weeks this time (he’s a truck driver) and we’re excited to see him! We don’t really have any plans for while he’s home – we’ll probably watch a season of Sons of Anarchy (we’ve done that the past few months, we’ve watched season 1, 2 and now we’re ready for 3!
- Last weekend, I set a list of my next 11 books to read. I’ve read two of them and am fairly excited for the rest. I think I’ll go ahead and add that as a set here too!
- The Olympics are coming!!! So I will be spending the bulk of my time glued to the television for two weeks. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been an Olympic nut! (Maybe it’s my love for Mythology?)

After a hike at Pueblo Mountain Park (Beulah, CO) we spent some time playing at the park with my little ones best friends – I snapped this photo!
