I Learned To Make A Slideshow...

Waiting On A Book Release...

I love Nicholas Sparks. I maybe a stalker...I don't follow him but I do know a lot about him. Could be a bit disturbing how much I know about him. He is my favorite author. I have read everything he has written. If you aren't familiar with Nicholas Sparks, he wrote The Notebook, Message In A Bottle and A Walk To Remember. Below is the next book that will be released in September...I can't believe I have to wait that long!

THE CHOICE

(Available Sept. 25, 2007)

About the book: Travis Parker has everything a man could want: a good job, loyal friends, even a waterfront home in small-town North Carolina. In full pursuit of the good life -- boating, swimming, and regular barbecues with his good-natured buddies -- he holds the vague conviction that a serious relationship with a woman would only cramp his style. That is, until Gabby Holland moves in next door. Despite his attempts to be neighborly, the appealing redhead seems to have a chip on her shoulder about him...and the presence of her longtime boyfriend doesn't help. Despite himself, Travis can't stop trying to ingratiate himself with his new neighbor, and his persistent efforts lead them both to the doorstep of a journey that neither could have foreseen. Spanning the eventful years of young love, marriage and family, The Choice ultimately confronts us with the most heartwrenching question of all: how far would you go to keep the hope of love alive?

Great Day...

I had a great birthday! Thank you all so much for the calls, emails, blog posts and cards. The day was great. It was full of family and friends. Thanks for making my 30th birthday great!

Love you all!

So I'm Thirty Today....

I don't feel thirty! Well I'm not sure how you are suppose to feel when you are thirty. I'm excited & looking forward to my thirties! I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of my past thirty years! These are just a few of my favorites!

10 Things...

I've been thinking about this lately maybe because I'm about to be 30. I have a big list of things I want to do in my lifetime. Here are a few of them.

• drive an 18 wheeler/semi truck


• ride in a hot air balloon


• vacation in New York City


• vacation in Vermont and Maine (think I can do that in one trip)


• vacation in Hawaii (again)


• get a tattoo


• drive cross country (coast to coast)


• meet Nicholas Sparks


• hang out in the Florida Keys


• parachute

So this isn't a very mind blowing list...just a few things I would like to do.

Old Man...

Happy Birthday Mary...

Mary's birthday is Sunday but I thought the pictures should be enjoyed all weekend!

Towns in Arkansas Where You Should Not Eat Chinese Food...

Again I've had some time to think about things. As I drove through a couple of towns I began to think about towns where you should not eat Chinese food. It is just a bad idea. The following:

• Clinton, AR


• Green Forest, AR


• Berryville, AR


• Eureka Springs, AR


• Mena, AR (I have a friend who has a story)


• Greenbrier, AR


• Wooter, AR (no restaurant but if they did you shouldn't eat there)

Do you have others? Please share!

Happy Birthday Jessica...

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Did You Know...

I've had some time alone in the car today. Just me and the radio. Did you know that I love road trips but I don't really like to drive? Did you know that I love gas station food (i.e. burritos)? Did you know that I don't like purple candy...pretty much any purple colored candy? Did you know that I love photography?

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip up here. I'm sure I will have more later. Also I'm sure there will be more did you know. I have another car ride alone to Maumelle on Thursday.

A Short Vacation...

So I'm going on a little vacation. I leave on Tuesday and will be back on Thursday. I am going to Eureka Springs for my brother's wedding. Blake and Kristen are getting married on July 4th. I'm looking forward to the wedding and the days away from the office. I will post pictures soon!

CONGRATULATIONS BLAKE & KRISTEN

&

HAPPY 4th of JULY!!
