Yeeeaaaahhhh!

I was starting to think it was all my random ideas and frequent posts that drove everyone away. That may be the case still, but it's nice to see people coming back! Hopefully Cameron, Clint, Hatch and Dave will chime in soon. It's hard to get back in the habit once you've been out of it.

A nice short easy read sounds good to me. I'll be picking up my copy of The Alchemist as soon as I can.

As far as a life update goes... I am currently working part time for Jimmy while I go back to school. I took three summer classes (Gen Ed stuff) and I'm almost finished with them. Makelle still works at the bakery decorating cakes. We just rented out our house and we are in the process of moving all our stuff to Makelle's family's house in Woods Cross. This should give us a chance for Makelle to get back into school this fall as well. We are pretty busy, but everyone is at this stage in life, right?!

I love you all very much and I'm excited to recommit to staying in touch.

No excuses...

No one should be able to say that they couldn't read the book this month due to lack of time/availability. At 170 pages, double spaced, it couldn't be an easier read. And to make it even easier, iTunes is offering the book as a FREE download for those who would like to listen to it! So no excuses! Go get it, post your comments, keep in touch, yada, yada, yada...

..."The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

Greetings From Washington!

Hey guys,
I'm sorry that I have not been very active on this whole book club thing. I have made a promise to myself that I would try harder. So I will try and make posts more often and contribute what little knowledge I have to offer.
Just so everyone knows, Deidra, Andon and I love Washington, its such a beautiful state to live in. We had an amazing 4th of July with my entire family up here and I put on a huge firework show that was the hit of the neighborhood. I wish you guys could of been here!
I would also like to send a big Happy Birthday out to the great United States of America. What a wonderful place we have to live and to be free. I would also like to welcome home Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell. They are the 3 American hostage that were taken captive in Columbia over 5 years ago. Its so nice to see them home and to personally know that we as a country never gave up on them even though most people never even knew they were down there.
Once again I apoligize for not being so active on the book club and I will do my best to make it better. If any of you guys find yourselves in Washington our door is always open.
Smurf

Waiting on Cameron...

Or Frank, or Dave, or anyone else that wants to choose a July book. For now, I am reading (and suggesting) "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Since we're already pushing halfway through the month, this is a short and easy read. Only 150 pages or so, and big font. You could read this in a few short hours, so no excuses! If someone else wants to make a suggestion though, then I am open to that.

You guys suck

I'm just going to do my own blog and read my own books, you guys are lame!
