Final Hour by: Jessica Draper & Richard D. Draper (conclusion to series)

I listened to this on my iPod, and it took forever. This was a really long book, but it was really good! I absolutely loved it!

The final chapter in the exhilarating end-of-days Seventh Seal trilogy

The skies blaze as meteors crash to earth, and two evil leaders focus their growing forces on Jerusalem. These are the last days before the Savior returns to reign in power and glory, and thousands of righteous families prepare for this glorious event. But for now, evil governs as mankind races toward its ultimate battle in the Holy Land-Armageddon.

The Final Hour is here-now each person's loyalty must be determined.

Oceans of Fire by: Christine Feehan (3rd in series)

This was such a good book!!! I think that this one might be my favorite so far, but I am excited to read Joley's book, her's will be really good I think.

As the third daughter in a magical bloodline, Abigail Drake was born with a mystical affinity for water, and possessed a particularly strong bond with dolphins. She spent her entire life studying them, learning from them, and swimming among them in the waters off her home-town of Sea Haven...

Until the day Abby witnessed a cold-blooded murder on shore and found herself fleeing for her life--right into the arms of Alexsandr Volstov. He's an Interpol agent on the trail of stolen Russian antiquities, a relentless man who gets what he goes after--and the man who broke Abby's heart. But he isn't going to let the only woman he ever loved be placed in harm's way--or slip away from his embrace...

Safe Harbor by: Christine Feehan (5th in series)

Another good book by Christine Feehan. I had finished this on Tuesday, but I just now blogged it. I'll be blogging the book I'm reading now by tonight or tomorrow. These are great books, but I prefer the GhostWalker series, although this series is good too.

One of seven daughters in a line of extraordinary women, Hannah Drake has been the elusive object of affection for Jonas Harrington for as long as the rugged sheriff can remember. If only the stunning supermodel was driven by a passion other than her career. But Jonas isn't the only one with desires for Hannah.

From the shadows has emerged a vengeful figure who stalks the beauty with one terrifying purpose: to strip her of all she is and destroy her. Only one man was destined as her protector. Now, out of a storm of danger, Jonas must guide the woman he loves from a sinister darkness that threatens not only Hannah, but the entire Drake family.

Cross Stitch Update

Here is the original again.









Ok, here is my update on my cross stitch. I have done a whole bunch in one month. I'm so excited!!! It looks so good!

Mind Game by: Christine Feehan (2nd in series)

Christine Feehan is such an amazing author!!! I absolutely love her GhostWalker series!!! This was such a good book, I had a hard time putting it down to come back to the real world. But I did, and I immediately went back to the book as soon as I was done with the real world.

ONLY ONE MAN CAN PROTECT HER...BUT WHO WILL PROTECT HIM FROM HER?

Possessed of an extraordinary telekinetic skill, Dahlia Le Blanc has spent her life isolated from other people. And just when she thinks she's finally achieved some semblance of peace, her well-orchestrated world comes crashing down...

For a reason she cannot guess, she has become the target of deadly assassins. Suddenly no place is safe--not even the secret refuge she'd established long ago. Now she must rely on Nicolas Trevane--a dangerous warrior sent to track her down and protect her. Together they generate a scorching heat Dahlia never imagined was possible. But can she trust this man with her secrets--especially when some people would kill to get their hands on them?

Lady of Palenque by: Anna Kirwan (The Royal Diaries Series)

I have always liked these books, Mom got me hooked on them in elementary school. This is one of the ones that I don't one yet, I borrowed it from the library. This was a really good book. If you are looking for a good, fast book to read for yourself, or if you want your daughter to read a good, clean book, here is a series that you need to look at. It is called The Royal Diaries series. They are really, really, really good.

LADY OF PALENQUE: Flower of Bacal, Mesoamerica, A.D. 749.

9.15.18.2.11 9 Chuen 14 Mol [July 7]

Lakamha, Bacal Highland

I thought, now that I leave Lakamha, I may never return. I may never see my family again. Well, perhaps I will see some of them. But I will be like the water that comes down from a spring down deep in the heart of a mountain cavern. It can flow and seep and pool and cascade all the way down to the water lily fields, all the way down to the big river, all the way to the marshes and the great salt sea...

But it can never flow back uphill to its home.

I will never forget Lakamha, even if Lakamha forgets me.

Movie: Street Kings

Today is mine and Spencer's 7 month anniversary day. So he took me out to the theater to see Street Kings. It was a really good movie. I think I had seen one preview for this show, but I liked it. I will have to give this show a 4 star.

Tom Ludlow is a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he's been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.

Rising Storm by: Jessica Draper & Richard D. Draper (2nd in series)

This is a really good book. It took me longer to read this then any of my other books. I didn't know that this was part of a trilogy, so I read this before the first book. I'm going to listen to the third book on CD, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the trilogy will end, this book was extremely good!!!

Economies are failing, terrorist acts are becoming more extreme, and chaos is spreading throughout the world as more signs of the times appear. The chasm between good and evil is widening.

Now, safely hidden in Salt Lake City, Merry Galen feverishly works on an antidote to the MetaGen's AllSafe vaccine before this biological time bomb kills millions who can no longer afford the required booster doses.

Meanwhile, her rescuers face the wrath of MetaGen officers, and the courageous Callata family is forced from their San Diego home to an area that may be even more dangerous to dedicated Mormons. Thousands of miles away, their missionary son also faces peril as the evil General Garza continues to seize control of a succession of Latin American countries.

The political and social fabric of the world is disintegrating as a rising storm of natural disasters changes the face of the earth.

It is a time when deception makes it difficult to discern good from evil--a time when everyone must choose whose side they're on.

Running

So Spencer and I went running today. I ran 3.20 miles and I burned 384 calories in 35 minutes.

The Emerald by: Jennie Hansen

I cheated with this book, I listened to it on cd. But this was such a good book!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I definitely recommend it to anybody who wants a good read!

Something fell to the floor with a soft clunk. Margarette stared at the object in disbelief. Matthew moved closer, his eyes following hers. There on the rough planks lay a small black bag. He reached for it and as Soren, Anna, and Jens crowded around, he released the cord that held it closed and gently shook the contents onto Margarette's bunk.

A glittering bracelet dropped onto a quilt square. All four adults gasped in astonishment. The metal chain appeared to be of inferior quality, but five large stones, each a different color, gleamed almost as though they were hungry to claim the small amount of light in the ship's gloomy interior.

Who had put the bracelet there, and why? Was it the frightened, beautiful woman who had snatched Margarette's infant daughter, and then hastily returned her? Would the bracelet, and the handsome new convert Matthew Holmes, prove to be the answer to her desperate prayers on her journey to join the Saints in America?

Donated Plasma!

Ha! I was finally able to donate plasma today! I went to go donate on Saturday with Spencer, but my pulse was too high the 5 times they checked it, I almost got it the last time, but it was still 3 over. This time, I got in on the 2nd time, the first time my pulse was 116, the second time it was 96, I think.

So I am going along, pumping away, feeling absolutely great, when people start coming over and looking at my monitor and having me sit up straighter in my chair. I guess my blood wasn't flowing the fast enough, it was too slow. So they are trying to make it so that my blood will go faster. So the guy who stuck me the first time comes over and starts checking the needle to make sure it was in my vein properly, so he is pushing it a little and trying to get it in place.

Now when he started doing this, I was fine, but then it started to hurt, and I told him and he apologized each time. Pretty soon, my body is getting really hot. So I tell him, and he went and got me an ice pack. Then my hand started to fall asleep, like really bad, and I told him. So he went to go tell the machine to cycle my blood back into me, and he accidentally told it that I was done, so I ended being done with a third of my bottle still empty, but oh well. I started to get really light headed. So he had me talking to him, to keep me focused when all of a sudden I had the strong urge to throw up. So I told him I needed to and he brought the trash can up, I heaved twice, threw up each time, and I was done. I got some water to clear my mouth out and get some water in me, after they were sure I wasn't nauseous anymore.

They ended up putting saline into me again to help make sure that I would be all right. They asked me questions about what happened exactly and then after they were sure that I would be alright, they gave me cookies and a capri-sun and had me sit in a chair to wait and get paid. I got my $30 and I left. Now just so everybody knows, I was feeling perfectly fine and dandy up to the point that they started playing with my needle. If they had left me alone, even going at a slower rate, I would have been fine. So I hope that next time, I will be just fine.
