Watchers - Dean Koontz

So here is the latest book that I have been reading and just finished.  This book is by Dean Koontz as the title suggests.  This book was awesome.  I absolutely devoured it.  The characters are just so awesome.  You can really understand them and the emotion they feel as they experience the problems they are faced with.  Some of the characters are absolutely crazy, but some such as Einstein, you will absolutely fall in love with.  Koontz is known for his ability to bring to life absolutely wonderful characters and he doesn't fail here.  The story is well written and every detail is carefully executed.  I have read some of Koontz previous works and while I really love the Odd Thomas series and Odd himself, I have to say I think this is the BEST Koontz book that I have read up to this point.  So go check it out....

14ers - Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, and Bross

Ok, so I am super late on this post.  Totally meant to post this back in the beginning of September, but I just got way too busy.  Anyways me and my husband, Jeremy, went and almost conquered all 4 of these 14ers.  Technically speaking I am going to count all of them and I will explain my reasoning for this in a second.

Anyways we took off at about 7:00 that morning and headed for Alma, CO.  Arriving at the trail head at about 9:30 we were ready to experience the extremely crazy hike in the high altitude of the Rockies.  Anyways, we made it to the summit of Democrat at approximately 11:30, which had me slightly worried considering I had wanted to be on my way down by 1:00 to avoid thunderstorms. 

Football, Football, and more Football....

So I love football.  I am somewhat sad as my favorite team may not end up doing well.  My team is the Jacksonville Jaguars and they ended up dropping their starting quarterback at the beginning of the season which basically means they have to fall back on a quarterback that has been playing backup for several years.  Broncos, my husband's team, is not doing well due to a ton of problems that I don't think can be overcome by just by replacing the quarterback.  Although I must say it would be awesome to see Kyle Orton benched and Tim Tebow set up to play, but what do I know.  We are in week 3 and the Patriots have no chance of an undefeated season, which is absolutely awesome.

My Fantasy league is taking off and it seems that my sister-in-law and I are leading everyone.  I guess we will see what happens at the end of this week.  Overall I am super excited.  There are some shakeups and definitely lots of excitement as the season gears up.  Anyways I will occasionally rant about football so if you need a little insight check it out.  Although it will possibly revolve around Jacksonville, Denver, and New England.

The Joys of Walmart...

So I know many people do not really like Walmart, due to the fact that it is a big bad corporation, but really.  I mean, while I don't suggest buying everything there, Walmart does have some great deal.  I recently went to my local grocery store to pick up a special kind of vitamin.  This bottle of 90 pills cost 25 dollars, holy geez,  I really didn't think that was necessary.  So I went to Walmart and I could get 240 pills for 8 dollars, I mean I get that apparently Walmart is evil, but that is a deal and a half.  So if the rest of you all want to that much for vitamins, fine go ahead, I don't care.

PS.  Sorry for the spastic blog post and I really will try to be better at writing post in this blog I just am having some difficulties as I am super busy with plenty of home improvement projects at the moment.

Wuthering Heights

I have to say I absolutely LOVED this book.  One because the premise and the ideas in it are so far from reality yet so close.  That it is also one of the most original book I have ever read probably has something to do with it.  Anyways I realize that most of what happens in the book really isn't a common day occurrence, but the idea of two people being in love and either understanding that it will never be able to work or forever trying and hoping that it will, no matter the circumstances, I think this idea does happen to people.  Sometimes it is one sided, but sometimes both people feel the same, but there are circumstances that stand in their way.  This is sad and beautiful at the same time.  I don't know that I truly understand these things, but the writer, Emily Bronte, brings to life such real emotions and honesty to this book that I almost understand and feel the power of the love between the two characters.  Anyways I highly recommend this book, but be warned it is most definitely not your typical love story...

Yours Truly,
