can you believe it?

i cant believe its already almost the end of august! the summer has flown by. my hiatus was good. my two older sisters, jen and steph were both here-not at the same time, but on separate visits, so i spent some time with family-which is always a wonderful time. i have to say i have such an amazing family. i mean, really. i suppose almost everyone feels that way about their families, but seriously-i am so fortunate to have such supportive, and loving sisters and parents. especially since losing the job-their prayers and moral support has shone through even more. moving along.....its kinda late, ive been hooked on a series of books that you MUST read, if you havent already done... the first-"the girl with the dragon tattoo" and the sequel to it, "the girl who played with fire". i have to say, the first book was kind of slow at first, but once i got into it, i couldnt put it down. and the second one was awesome from the first page. i just finished it before hopping on the computer. next i am starting "the gold coast"-which i have heard is another 'must read'. to finish my post tonight--a series of 'can you believe its':
