10 Years Ago Today

10 years ago today, I married my best friend.

It doesn't seem like it's been 10 years, just a blink of the eye. 

He's the most wonderful person. 

He always makes me laugh.

He makes me a better person

I love him with all my heart

2013 Reads in Review

Here's my 5th annual report on my favorite books this year. I can't of course choose just one (I did read 334 after all) Check out the 2008, 2009,2010, 2011, and 2012 posts. It's a mix of kids. tween, teen, and adult books.  These are the books I've read this year and not only 2013 books. Also there are several books I could have used for many categorizes, but I chose not to duplicate them too much because there were SO many great books that I read this year. All of them hold a place in my heart! Enjoy the list!
