Today is my hubby’s birthday! Somehow in the rush of the morning I neglected to tell him happy birthday! This is his 21st birthday we have celebrated together. My, time flies!

We are going to have a quiet family night tonight with the boys and a “Grown Up Birthday” on Saturday with our friends – no kids!! How weird will that be! Fun, but weird I think!

Eric….please know this….YOU are the best gift God ever gave me. You might make me crazy now and then but I’m sure I do the same for you! I’m just glad we’ve got each other at the end of the day. Happy Birthday baby!

Probably like most homeschoolers, we visit our library weekly. I love to read, but lately I haven’t found anything about which I’ve been excited. Until last week. Last week I discovered Mr. Darcy’s Diary and Mr. Knightley’s Diary by Amanda Grange.

I can’t speak for more in the series (Capt. Wentworth, Edmund Bertrand) as I have not read them. But the two I read were wonderful! I enjoyed a glimpse into our hero’s thoughts and actions. In the case of Mr. Darcy, we start to read his diary just as he sends Georgianna to Ramsgate.

Also, my friend Kate suggested Elizabeth Gaskell (sorry – Amazon is the easiest for me to link). I had watched the movie “Wives and Daughters” and have “North and South” on my Netflix queue, but I haven’t read them yet. So, I’m waiting on them from the library.

What are you reading?

Tonight I got to talk to Cliff & Stephanie from GSPN – it was basically a get to know your neighbor interview. And, if I didn’t embarrass myself too much I’ll share the link so you can hear it!

I found GSPN via a podcast on the television show, Lost. But I found so much more than a podcast! Cliff and Steph host several shows I enjoy – including The Full Time Mom cast and others. And, there is a forum where we are getting to know more people! It is really becoming a community online.

Thanks Cliff & Stephanie for everything you’ve done for us at GSPN – I’m continuing to pray for you and your family!! (And, Steph – I was only joking about the comments. I totally understand! 😉
