Happy Anniversary to ME

No, it’s not my anniversary, it’s actually my sister’s BUT I’m the one who gets the grand surprise.  Jess told me earlier that her perfectly perfect husband is bringing her to TN next month for their one year celebration!  I had to yank my kids’ big heads – one by one – from out of the ceiling because they all went thru the roof when I told them.  Holy Moly, this year has been one exciting thing after another.  YIPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!  I cannot wait!

And in other fun news, we got the new Version 3 Rosetta Stone program yesterday.  My kids literally spent over three hours playing with it this morning.  I had to tell them, “Ok… NO MORE LEARNING.  Turn it off and do something else”. Within the first three lessons they were already speaking and reading the language. Seriously.  I’ve never seen anything like it. Their methodology is nothing short of genius.  I am really excited about this program and I am thrilled to be representing it.  

And I can’t believe that Coie and I fly out next Thursday for our first show.  I hope we do well, and I hope we are able to sell a ton.   I’m bringing my camera and computer along, so if you’re going to be there, you’ll have to let me get some pictures with you!  And I also found out that Maggie the Most Magnificent is going to be at the MA and FL conventions.  I *love* that lady; she is so fun. And her Mystery of History is my all time favorite homeschool resource… although, I have to admit, Rosetta Stone is now also tied for first..

In other news, I got a special delivery in the mail today from my favorite Book Fairy.  Has anybody heard of the Stephen Lawhead books?  I am going to start Book One tonight. And you’ll be glad (or still bored) to hear that I’m finally almost completely done with The Idiot.  

Lastly, Bo’s dog, Kobe, has become Periwinkle’s mother.  He loves that little goat.  Isn’t that sweet?  All they do is snuggle.

 

Ok, I better go find something productive to do.  I’ve been online all day. 

PS Lisa has another *awesome* contest running, you should check it out!

PPS YIPPPEEEEE times 2 that my little sis will be here next month!!!!  God sure is nice to me

    I was going to buy mysery of history. But now I'd like to buy it through you. Where do I buy it so that it helps your giant IRS debt. 🙂

    Very cool

    So glad you will be able to catch up with your sis! How fun.

    I know living far away from family can be really difficult at times (and REALLY nice at times..LOL)

    Have a great time at your first convention. Can't wait to hear all about it..

    Still hoping we can catch up when you hit the Sunshine state

    Hey Micki ! YES, i am totally looking forward to hanging out at FPEA. make sure you come find me at the RS booth and we'll make plans to party afterwards!

    And Emily… you are the *greatest*. you made my day, my friend. And yes, i totally recommend Mystery of History, but I do not sell it… I am just a pyschotically huge fan. I think the best place to purchase it is thru Maggie's site (i linked to it above).

    … but if you ever want to buy Rosetta Stone I'd be *more* than happy to hook ya up, sistah!

    You will LOVE the Pendragon Cycle! I read them one summer during college, and felt like I had been on vacation when I was done. Enjoy!

    How exciting that Jess is visiting. Yippee is right!

    I am hoping to go out to see my sister and my dad.

    Hopefully next month unless we decide to just pack up and go soon. However we have too many commitments right now. May should be a slower month for us.

    Congrats on the big trip — YOU. WILL. SELL. TONS . It. WILL. BE. GREAT!

    Praising God along with you for all your recent blessings.

    Love,

    Maria

    That is awesome that you will get to see your sister! And that adorable pic of the dog and baby goat…awww, just precious! The Stephen Lawhead books are terrific…according to my hubby. He devours HUGE books on a semi-daily basis. He read the whole series by Lawhead a while back..just loved 'em.

    Woo Hoo! You guys are gonna have an awesome time together. I'm jealous! =P

    We can buy Rosetta Stone from you? It will take me a hundred years to save up for it… But I've actually been thinking about it.

    What a great anniversary gift!!

    I just finished the third book in Lawhead's Pendragon series, and will soon be starting the fourth. I LOVED them, and everything else of Lawhead's that I've read so far. I also have Hood and Scarlett sitting on my "to read" pile. Hopefully Lawhead will be a welcome reward to you for slogging through The Idiot. ;~)

    Blessings,

    Kym

    It is good to see that I am not the only one who enjoyed the Lawhead books! I am so excited that you are going to read them. :+)

    I sure wish you were coming to a CA conference. You are going to have to twist some arms next year. LOL

    I am so glad to hear Jess and Charlie will be visiting! That is really wonderful. :+)

    Love you!
