I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

hello jen! nice blog :) i love suggestions of good books too. here's a few that i have read recently and really enjoyed: mother teresa by navin chawla, a woman of independent means by elizabeth forsythe hailey, extremely loud and incredibly close by jonathan foer, the princess academy by shannon hale, stargirl by jerry spinelli. kind of a random assortment, but i'm kind of random. let me know what fun stuff you've read lately. take care!
I recently finished Hilary Clinton's autobiography which gave great background on our possible future Prez. I'm now reading Obama's book. Eat, Pray, Love is amongst my all-time favorites. I'm currently sifting through a book called "Safe People" from my mother's self-help collection :)
Hi Girl: Your blog is great. As far as books - you know I like the kind that end "and they rode off into the sunset" kind. Haven't read any of those lately. I have started a book called Black Robe by John Upton Terrell. It is about the life of Pierre-Jean DeSmet who was a Catholic Father in the early 1800s who was a missionary, explorer, and pioneer. He did a lot of work with the various tribes between StLouis and the coast.He established missions in Northern Idaho and Washington. You don't hear about him in the history books - but he did a lot of good among the indians. Dad
Well, I just saw your blog address on the mission website. I have to say I'm a big fan of the blog. I have one that I am starting, but haven't given out the address yet! Working on the idea! Hope you are doing great! I had to comment because I just finished reading The Kite Runner. Wonderful book. Very heavy at the beginning, but it is really compelling and was a fantastic read. Maybe I am your only Harry Potter friend, but, just finished that too! email when you get a chance aawjohnson@gmail.com
