December Meeting

Thanks to those who were able to attend we had a good meeting. The general consensus on The Christmas Sweater was that it was an inspirational book and a good pick for the season. We also played the game Would You Rather?. It was a fun game and would be a good game for a mixed group as we all tended to think a like. Those who are out of towners feel free to share your thoughts, if you haven't already, via comments.

We all understand the chaos of this time of year and we are sorry if we missed you this month.

Next Months Meeting will be on January 24th in order to give everyone decent recovery time from the holiday. It will be at Becca's house, time TBA. Hope to see you there.

Also back is the Twilight movie soundtrack extended by the Author's soundtrack enjoy! Any suggestions for other songs or changes can be sent to the blog master's e-mail.

This Months Book and Bio

Hope everyone had a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Well, now that we are all stuffed with turkey, ham, and all the fixings it's time for a good book.

This months book, The Christmas Sweater, was chosen by me (Julie). I picked this book because I am a huge Glenn Beck fan, but the story and the message were very fitting for this time of year and very relatable.




Here is a little about me:

I was born and raised right here in Grand Junction, Colorado. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. After high school I attended Rick's College (BYU-I) and Mesa State. While attending Mesa and working, Becca and I were roommates. It was awesome, we had a great time.

I served a full time mission in the Illagan Philippines Mission and learned to speak tagalog. After my mission I attend BYU for a semester before my husband proposed and brought me home again to Mesa State.

We were married in the Mt. Timpanogus temple on March 19th 1999. A year and a day later we had our first son with three more sons to follow. We are currently expecting our fifth child in May (probable another boy but hoping for a girl).

My favorite color is green. I enjoy sewing, hiking, reading, blogging, talking politics, going to watch the boys wrestle and being a mom.


Note: Please also RSVP for the meeting on the 13th so I have a count. Hope to see you there! Happy Holiday
