Porter

precious.

I know he's going to be hard-core, because he's named after Porter Rockwell. Congratulations Brauns. Thanks for my adorable new nephew.

Caller 13

My mom has an uncanny talent for winning radio contests. Last week when I was taking her to the airport at 6am, we were listening to KAT Country 103 and heard the dialing sounds that mean it's time to call in to win something. So Mom calls (she has the number memorized), gets through on her first try, and wins! What the?! I have tried so many times to win stuff on the radio.
And this is not the first time she has done it. I remember multiple times through the years that she has won stuff on the radio. The funny part is that she didn't even know what she was winning. It turns out it was a "win it before you can buy it" weekend, so she won the new Rascal Flatts CD that was released on Tuesday. The whole winning before you can buy thing didn't do her much good since she was on her way to Portland. AND when I asked her if I could have the CD she said NO! Even though I had to get up at 530am to drive her to the airport in my car using my gas and she was listening to my radio. But I'm over it. I got my own copy at Walmart for $9.95, so there!

Shannon does it again

I just finished reading Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale and I love, love, loved it! I think it is her best written book yet and may be my new favorite. I'm a big fan of Shannon Hale.

Captain Wentworth

Tonight we discussed Persuasion for Relief Society book club (and watched the movie). While I cannot say that Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen book, Captain Wentworth is certainly a worthy hero.
