For those that don't know I am writing a book actually a series that one day I hope to have published book one is now at 119 pages and book two is at 55 pages. The good news is I love them and whether they get published or not I will be rereading them for years to come.
My kids are doing great Gideon is only wearing diapers at night, and has added a couple more words into his vocabulary.
Autumn is improving her reading and writing skills, this last week she really has shown huge progress. I am really very proud of her for working so hard this last week.
Sorry I have not posted many pictures lately I will try to pull out the camera and chase the kids in a little while.
Wil has lost 34 pds in 20 days using Medifast, I have lost some weight over the holidays but I really need to get back on the treadmill. I really don't want to have to join him on this diet so I had better hurry.

Family and books
Hubby is thankfully okay but we are all very very tired, we spend last night in the ER after he had an allergic reaction to "something" I know official right?
Anyway I am done with my 9th rewrite and now have 117 solid pages of book one, I am still trying to finish of the last little bit, I do not as yet have a publisher, book agent or anything yet (besides of course my personal accountant who would love to quit her full time job and be my full time accountant) as this is my first book and I want it as ready as I can get it before sending it off to anyone. If anyone here has published before please give me any useful information on how to start this process - I am a little nervous.
Book two however is started as of this moment I am not sure whether or not this book set is going to be three books or four everything right now hangs on book two and whether I can fit it all in or not.
Also if anyone lives in , Sweden, Finland, Norway, Scotland or Ireland and would like to tell me about their favorite places, I would be very happy to hear from someone who actually lives there.
The kids are fine and healthy but very tired after last night, we are headed out soon to pick up medicine and the usual life supplies that our life seems to need.
ps. Utah in January at 2 in the morning has the most lovely thick fog, it was the best part of the whole night.

Changes
Book news first - I have completed my first book!! Yeah! I am still rechecking and rewriting but it is mostly finished and I have started book two of the series. I am so thrilled.
My hubby started Medifast last week and has gone from 337 to 317 in a week - mostly water weight but we have high hopes of being able to get him down to a healthier weight - kind of want to keep him :).
Next we have completely changed our children's room's around we bought a new bunk bed with a tent on top, and have moved both children into Autumns room. Gideon's old room is now food storage on my exercise room making much needed room in the living room! Next on my list of changes are hopefully new couches for the living room.
But like all things in my life change takes time, and so will my couches.
As for the kids Autumn is reading better and better everyday and Gideon can do a real cartwheel and is trying to do back flips and the most amazing thing he has been adding new words to his vocabulary!
Sorry all my words seem to be taken up for my books but I will try to get on more

My News
Sorry I have not been on for a while, between the holidays, family time, my hubbies recovery and my most recent fascination I just have not had a lot of time.
So my big news I am writing a book! Ok so I have been trying to write since I was 15 and while my imagination is more fertile that you could ever imagine I have always had a hard time writing things the way I want them to come out. So you see and hear what I see and hear however I have started a fresh attempt. Something I am very excited about so far I have a good solid 9 pages!
However after one week and about 7 revisions I finally have 9 good pages with lots more to come. Even my husband thinks this one has promise.
So if you were wondering if I fell in a hole or jumped off a cliff the answer is nope I just have disappeared inside my head for a while.
Here's hoping I can get this book finished whether anyone publishes it or not I would like to finally be able to end one of my stories.
