book

"Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment on Its Ear" by Kaylene Johnson
- I read it in 2 days.
- Very short, simple, and inspiring biography of Sarah Palin.
- For those who hate that she ran as VP on the republican ticket... don't get hung up on it as this book was written and published before she was chosen or even considered.
- admired the truth she stands for in the face of corruption in politics (in both parties).

Ready for summer!

It has been ages... big surprise! It usually has been when I actually have a spare moment to blog. Snow is covering the ground and the temperatures have been in the negative numbers. brrrr and ouch! Gabe is growing up sooo fast. For a while now he has been using 3 word phrases. He is ready to potty train but I am not. We're looking forward to vacation in a few weeks out to visit my brother and family. I have 4 weeks of vacation time this year and I am so excited. I find myself daydreaming a lot lately of summertime last year. I was not working due to FMLA for Gabriel. We had such a good time traveling and playing outside in the water at parks and such. Baseball games, cookouts, camp season.... these are all such fond memories.
