how in the world is it august 18th already??? i start back with teachers on august 29th and then the kids come back sept 6. time is going too fast!

dad edwards, we received your book in the mail and i am about 3/4 of the way through it (everyone should read it--but read the chronicles of narnia first, if you haven't already. or even if you haven't read them recently). i love it! and i'm proud of you--you're awesome. we'll talk about the contents soon, i hope...

mare, your account of your hike was amazing! i felt like i was reading an article in and adventure magazine (except you were way more funny). my question is: will you do it again?

please tell me you all will get the new pornographers new album-twin cinema (and don't be too offended by the name of the band, the music is fantastic)!!! i'm sad that i have to miss the show with matt, especially since they're playing with lassie! man!! but i'll see them in LA at the end of september, at least.

i've been reading my face off and i love it!!! just mixing it up with a little bruce edwards, dan brown, emma mclaughlin, c.s. lewis, j.k. rowling, maeve binchy, steve martin, oswald chambers, rosamunde pilcher, and the LORD! anyhoo, matt and i have been pulling a mike and carol brady lately by getting in bed with our books and reading for an hour or so before we go to sleep every night! ha! if only matt and i had the mike brady fro and carol brady flip, respectively...

if you've got will
and a little time
use it tonight
