Oh how I love thee....Kindle!

Company's Coming!
I'm so excited, we are actually having company for dinner tonight! A family from church invited us to dinner in October, which was so nice, so we are returning the favor.

My Update
I've noticed that other people seem to be doing the numbered updating thing, and so I thought I would join in too. :-D
1. I spent all day at Barnes & Nobles yesterday (as in 9 AM to 8 PM) for the book fair we were having for the library. I think several kids came during the day, but they were too shy to say hi to me, and since I'm still new at this ( Read more... )
