The Hour I First Believed

The Hour I First Believed
By Wally Lamb

The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb may very well be the saddest book ever. The story spans several hundreds of years and several generations. There's times where you will hate each character and love each character, but by the end you wish them all better than what they've got.
The story begins at Columbine highschool just before the deadly shootings. It explores how a couple involved copes with the tragedy and the effects of chronic PTSD. While Columbine may be where the story starts, it continues to explore hundreds of years of family legacy and betrayal.
The Hour I First Believed is a heartwrenching story that can't be summarized in a few paragraphs. It will make you laugh, cry, and most importantly, believe.

A New Leaf... Or 'Do.

I planned this. I knew it was coming. But when I broke two hair ties in one day, it finally gave me the motivation to just do it.




I swear I lost at least 5 pounds when it all got cut off.






I'm planning on donating the extra pounds to Locks of Love. Hopefully it's long enough. Anyway, I also used my waiting time to purchase a new pair of sneakers. Unfortunately, I lost the rights to them almost immediately upon their entry into the house...



Since I value my life I think I'll just let him keep them.

And now I present the comedic stylings of Andrea and Mallory.



They also blessed us with a music video complete with original choreography.



Of course videos of such professional quality can't be made without a few mistakes.

Mr. and Mrs. Novak

This past Sunday, my cousin Lyndsay said "I do," to her fiance, Chad. Here's some of my favorite pictrues from the event:








Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Novak!

My Cute, Little Boy

Everyone probably thinks I'm crazy because I take more pictures of my dog than most people take of their kids. But I can't help it! He's so cute!

Rainbows

About a week ago, the weather was awful. The rain was terrible and I was pretty sure our camper was going to float away.
But as they say, you can't have rainbows without rain!









I hope you'll excuse my lack of decent photography. I was taking the pictures on my phone, during a storm, inside of a moving vehicle. But the rainbow was still really pretty!
