If you read any book about our Government, read this one.
I was lucky enough to first read this book in High School
(as part of my home school curriculum)
and it taught me more about our country and it's foundation
then any Government class that I took in college.
It's a book that you can apply to your everyday life,
and one I will read and re-read, again and again.

I thought I would document gas prices while they are still low.
Who knows how long we have before we go over $4 again...[i think blood is shooting out of my eyes.]
I met this lovely lady through work.
She has a way of making you feel good about yourself.

I found this picture of my Grandfather today.
I need to get it framed.
I miss him alot.

I love how the world looks
through the looking glass

For as long as I can remember,
my family has had a copy of grimms' fairy tales that belonged to my mom.
Calista used to read it to Jorja and I at night before bedtime when we were little.
This copy is one of my most cherished belongings, and one of the most thoughtful gifts that I have ever received.
(besides U2 tickets C.)
It's a book I will read to our children.

i hope i have something to show for it soon.
whenever we go by a structure of any kind, Matt loves to take a look.
[at least its at inanimate objects, right?]
i love to see his utter fascination with building.
i'm so grateful that he has a job that he loves, and is passionate about.

one of my new years resolutions is to get the projects on my to do list done.
now i have some proof that i'm making progress.
one down, ninety zillion to go.ps- you can see the before picture here- and yes it's cardboard
i never get tired of just sitting at their feet & listening.
