Well it's The New Year

If you haven't heard, 2007 has officially started. It makes me feel old, older than a soon to be 21 year-old should. On the plus side I get to start having a problem with alcohol in just a few short months.

The most depressing thing about the new year is resetting my books read section. I am so happy with how many books I read last year. I read 19 books last year, not counting the four or so I read for school. This year I am hoping to top it. I am currently reading the Eragon book. I am about half way through and I hope to finish tat and the other book in the series, Eldest, by about halfway through February. After that I will read the Harry Potter books again in preparation for the new book. After that I don't know, I plan to read the LOTR again as usual, but I have no plans for what I am going to read. Maybe I will read those books Lance has wanted me to for a while. I will list the books I read last year to preserve the list.

Much has happened since my last post. Matthew came up for a quick three day visit with his new girlfriend Kathleen. She seems nice, but I didn't talk to her much so it is difficult to gauge. School is starting for Trey this week, but Robert and I get a short reprieve of one week. I have gotten some work done for the couples retreat, but I still have plenty of video editing to do. Thats about all the new news for now. Following is a list of books I read this year and a rating, out of ten, for the books.
