Sweet!!

I was just looking through my e-mail, which I hadn't checked in several days, and saw that I have won two books through Goodreads First Reads giveaways! WOOT!

One is Pearl in the Sand by Tessa Afshar, and the other is This Burns My Heart by Samuel Park.

They should both be arriving in the mail within a couple of weeks! AWESOME!! I'm super excited! Free stuff is the best, especially if it's books!

Catching up... again.

Did ya miss me?? I simply haven't made time to keep up with my blog for the past month... other things kept crowding it out... work, commute, READING!, goodreads.com (my new favorite website; it's like a facebook for booklovers!), and this past weekend, the beach. Speaking of the beach, it was gorgeous weather: low 80's, breezy, a bit overcast- all of which made me succumb to the illusion that less sunscreen was required and the umbrella wasn't really necessary. FALSE. I now sport the worst sunburn I've had in years, and am religiously applying aloe lotion at every opportunity. Despite being cooked, it was a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I just love walking barefoot along the shore in the evening, right where the waves skim the sand, listening to the soft rush of the water and taking deep breaths of the cool salt air as it ruffles your hair. Ahh... bliss.
The reason goodreads is taking up so much time? I've joined a book club on there, and I love it! Games, giveaways, book discussions... it's fun. I've already won a book!! You can also use the site to rate books you've read, make a to-read list, and see what other people are saying about books. It's fabulous.
I can't believe it's June. 2 year wedding anniversary coming up! Time has really flown, but I'm loving every minute.
I guess that's it for now!
Please pray for our church: our new youth pastor and his family are moving here this week; and keep Daniel and I in your prayers as well.
