A World without walls
everyday life while homeschooling overseas
Last week, I went to the movie theater with some friends (some YOUNG friends). The girls I went with met up with some other friends and introduced me as their 16 year old friend. The guy said I didn't look like I was 16, I looked more like I was his age: 19! Sweet!
Well, then Saturday, I took Josh and Claire to a service project. Those same young people were there. There were some older couple missionaries there, too, whom I hadn't yet met. I was talking with one of the ladies, and she was asking about my kids, then she pointed to the others and asked them their names/ages...and then asked if they were my kids, too! Dang. Guess I really don't look like I'm 19 after all. Honestly, though, do I really look like I could have a 19 year old son?? I couldn't possibly, because I literally couldn't have a 19 year old son. Well, I suppose it could have been possible...if I'd had my first baby at age 15. No way. I felt very deflated. Oh well. I suppose I have to get old some time, right?

Yeah, it gets rough when things like that happen. The hardest thing for me was when you were old enough to wear my clothes and you looked tons better in them!

Emily's books
by Dan Brown
I like that the plot twists and turns a lot...and it makes you think. However, I don't appreciate Dan Brown's endings in his books. I find the endings incongruent with the rest of his stories--why make it a romance for the last chapter...

I loved this book. I'm a sucker for fairy tales/fantasy. This was so well written! I can't wait to read all the rest of her books!

I'm reading this one again. I liked it the first time I read it. I'm still liking it for the second time around. I like all of Shannon Hales' books.
**Still lots of fun the second time around! I do like this book for a comfortable...
