I know I haven't been blogging much lately. And this time I don't have to use the sorry excuse that I'm too lazy, or uninspired. I have a REAL reason.
Art is doing school. He's not IN school, but he's taking a course by distance education. It's called Pentateuch. The first five books of the Bible. And while he's reading the Bible, he also likes to have it read aloud to him, online. According to him, "it's the greatest!"
So I guess I'll have to try it sometime.
I'm finally reading again! It's funny, because I would classify myself as an avid reader, but I haven't really read anything in months! Or so it seems. So now I'm barely ever reading, and Art (who generally hates reading) is reading all the time??? When did that happen?!
So yeah. My friend sent me Persuasion by Jane Austen, because she's determined to make me a fan. And she sent it to me a while ago, so I figured it was about time to crack it open. And I have to admit, it's not too bad! I read Pride and Prejudice, and I love the movie (yes, I love Keira Knightley and I'm not ashamed to admit it), but the book is pretty dull, in my opinion. And yes, Libby, I PROMISE to see the BBC version someday.
And while I'm enjoying Persuasion more than Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's books are just plain hard to read. Probably because she wrote in the 1800's. And I generally don't read anything older than than I am. With the exception of the Bible, of course.
So anyway, what I'm trying to say is, this is kind of a big deal for me. Maybe it's not a big deal for anyone else. That's why this isn't their blog. :D
Speaking of slightly unrelated subjects, Art is home now, and he'll probably want to go on the laptop. So that's the end of this post. Not that I had tons and tons to say, so it's kind of convenient. Hopefully I'll get a couple more in before we go to California.
Oh, and happy wedding day to my cousin Marshall and his new wife, Amanda! Yes, they got married on a Tuesday. No, I don't know why. If I find out, I'll be sure to come back here IMMEDIATELY to let you know, so you can all stop dying of curiosity. ;)

YAY!!!!!! I love that you aren't hating it.
It was a great wedding and her dress was gorgeous! I don't always say that, but her's I really liked! Yummy food, great company at our table (Clint + Elin, Erin + Jer, Darrell + Kathy), and a very nice venue.
I love Jane Austen, but I haven't read Persuasion yet - it's on my list!
I really enjoy reading too. But I seem to never find the time.
Had a really great time out there! Hopefully next year I can come for a whole week!
