These days its unusual to get happy things in the mail (unless you order it yourself). So, today when I got two great things in the mail I was thrilled.
First, I finely got my general conference tickets. I thought I was only going to get 4 but nope, I got 12 for the Sunday morning session. This is great because with the 4 that amber got for that session we will have enough for the people we had planned for. Yea! Thank you President Powers. :) I am so excited to go.
Next, I must say thank you to My Aunt Kim. Earlier, I blogged about Possum Magic., a children's book that is popular in Australia. In the blog I mentioned that I wanted it for my collection. So she sent it to me. Not only did she do that but she also sent me 3 other Mem Fox books. Wombat Divine, Time for bed and Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge. Thanks Kim!
Oh, did I mention that she sent them to Amber too. She's the greatest!Amber said she was extra excited because she wanted to start a collection of children's books to read to the baby. Thanks for jump starting that Kim.
This is another book I liked when I was a kid. In first grade I tried to read this in front of my class but I got nervous and couldn't do it. Oh well, it is still a funny little book.
I think almost everyone has a few books they remember being read to them when they were younger. This is one of mine. The illustrations in it are beautiful. I need to remember to ask for it for Christmas or a birthday. Hopefully I will come across this post around that time so it can remind me.
My Mom bought me this book for my Birthday. It was a very good read. Essi, the main character, is full of spunk.
Something Else I did not know was that Deeanne Gist Also wrote 
This is a book my mom had checked out of the library and liked. I look forward to reading it too. another book by Deeanne is
She also has one comming out this march.
I loved it and was very pleased to find that there are sequels. They books together are called the Books of Bayern. For my birthday, last week, Grandma gave me the next book.
I started reading it the night before I left Utah. So my friend Alyssa wouldn't have to sleep with the light on I read in the bathroom (there were people sleeping in every other part of the house) Around 4am someone needed to use the restroom so I had to retire. An hour and a half later it was time to wake up and leave so I did. Then I risked and got car sickness to finish reading. Don't worry, I finished before the carsickness reached vomiting. Now I just need to read the the last one.
Hmmmm. I know what I want for Christmas.
