Need A Good Book?

Speaking of good books... One of my roommates recommended a book to me and I just finished reading it last night. The roommate who recommended it isn't a big reader and so whenever she does recommend a book I make a point to read it asap. I'm not sure why, I just do. And so this one was no different.

I was in Salt Lake City this weekend and, of course, I had to go to Deseret Book (I mean, how can you NOT go to Deseret Book when in Salt Lake?). Anyways, while I was there I bought two books and a movie and one of those books was the recommended book, The Secret Journal of Brett Colton by Kay Lynn Mangum

I spent the whole weekend reading it every chance that I got. I read it in Salt Lake, in the car, at the airport, at the airport, at the airport, on the plane, before I went to bed, while watching TV, etc. And I must say, the book was amazing! I think everyone should read it! It's easy to get into and I totally give it an A+. Oh and P.S. when reading this book you will probably need a few tissues. At least, I did...

The Secret Journal of Brett Colton is about a girl named Kathy. On her sixteenth birthday Kathy discovers her brother's hidden journal -a journal written especially for her before he passed away. At the same time Kathy is struggling with the assignment to tutor the popular high school quarterback, a football jock who, even worse, is a Mormon.

So yeah. You should read it!

I'd Like to Take a Moment...

I believe that we are all born with certain rights and sometimes along our long road of life, we are also given certain rights. Well, as a student at BYU-Idaho I feel as if I have obtained specific rights that I'd like to tell you all about. Those rights, yes, you guessed it, are bragging rights. The semester is coming to a close and I'd like to take a moment to brag.

I was reviewing my grades online just now and I was very pleased with the results. Of course, I haven't yet taken any of my finals so there is a slight chance that these won't remain but I think they will. Or at least, I certainly hope they remain!

For my Marriage class.... A.
For my Prep. for Marriage class.... A.
For my Marriage Skills class.... A.
For my Parenting Skills class.... A.
For my American Literature class.... A.
For my Children's Literature class.... A.
And for my New Testament class.... A.

Yes. I am very, VERY pleased with how this semester is turning out. And I am very, VERY excited that it is FINALLY coming to an end! I am SO ready to go home!
