I got really tired of looking at the same post for several years so I decided to put up some random photos from our trip to Disney World this spring.

I had an awesome time in Atlanta at the Thirty-One National Conference. I got to meet my wonderful director and several girls from my team. We had lots of good training and some fun too.
It is the 10th anniversary of Thirty-One and they celebrated by giving US gifts!!!

Done Being Friends by Trisha Grace
From Amazon:
Faith and Zac grew up together. Faith grew up in a supportive and loving family while Zac’s family was basically non-existence. Both have the money and looks, and they could not be more suited for each other. They have been friends for their whole life. Best friends. A line that neither dared to cross. But when Faith’s father collapsed and was Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17624415770043791719noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2921510012549264955.post-38992876354787949942012-01-22T08:07:00.001-06:002012-05-24T07:37:47.379-05:00A to Z Challenge 2012
I joined the A to Z challenge hosted by Strawberry Splash Reviews. I tried an A to Z challenge a couple of years ago and failed miserably. But I'm going to try it again. Part of this challenge is to review each book and I am new to reviews. So my main goal is to read the books and my secondary goal is to review them.

I joined the 2012 EBook Challenge hosted by Workaday Reads. The challenge runs from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2012. You can start at any time. I am choosing the memory stick level of reading 50 ebooks this year.

Here is the post where I listed my books. My goal was to read somewhere between 20 and 50 books. I met my challenge with 48 books. I was just shy of the 50. I think that was pretty good since I didn't even own my Kindle for the entire year.
I really enjoy reading on my Kindle.

I am blessed with my husband, two kids I produced and 5 bonus kids, with several spouses and significant others, and we added our 11th grandbaby. My parents are healthy. We both have jobs that keep us in what we need.

Wow, I just found this E-Book Challenge. It is great since I just got my Kindle a few months ago. I'll use this post and list the e-books I read here. There are seven levels of the challenge and I think I will fall somewhere between obsessed (read 20 books) and possessed (read 50 books). Some e-books are short so I'm going to go for Possessed and hope for the best.

I had decided to buy the Kindle ereader but the hard part was deciding whether to spend the extra money to get 3G or to just get the wi-fi version. I don't have wi-fi in my house so that played a part in the decision.
I went to one store, I went to another store. I knew I wanted a Kindle but I couldn't make up my mind. 3G or not.
