100

Yep, that's the magic number today, well, last night actually. I reached 100 pages in my book last night and I'm half way through with chapter 10. That means, I'll be sending my best friend, Steph, chapters 8 through 10 of my book very soon! I am so thankful to have someone like her, that I trust fully and completely, to read my book before anyone else does! =] =] =] 


I'm really excited (as always) about the direction my book is going in. However, I'm at a place in it, where I didn't anticipate it being hard to write. For whatever reason, it's extremely difficult to write this part of my book for various reasons. I honestly wish I could go into detail about it, but I can't because, well, that would give a crucial part (which happens to be the turning point or climax) of my book away. But hopefully, it becomes easier with time. I know once I get through this part, I'll be proud of myself for writing it and will give me more of a push to write other various novels in this way.


Anyways - on to other news. I'm currently reading Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult. Once again, it's a book I cannot put down. It's got me so intrigued that I'd even put off writing in my own book to read it; that's just how good it is! I cannot wait to write a synopsis for you all about it.


I've also decided that, despite how much I love the Enlisted Spouse's Book Club here at Eielson, I feel like reading the books assigned for the group is like a school assignment. The reading doesn't feel like it's done for enjoyment anymore. Yeah, I'm weird I know. But I decided to just go ahead and attend the Book Club meetings and read whatever books I want to read on my own time. I love the free enjoyment of reading. It's such a stress reliever for me.


Well, as you also know, when I was in Anchorage for the July 4th weekend, I bought a Nook. I loved it at first and I still think it's really awesome, but I found myself really, really missing holding a physical book. I mean I knew when I bought it that I would miss holding books and the smell of them, etc, but I didn't think it would be as bad as it got. So, this past Sunday, the hubby and I took a trip to Barnes and Noble and returned my e-reader. I really should have listened to him in the first place, but oh well, you live and you learn.


My husband and I started P90X this past week and I LOVE the workout. It wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. I went in with the impression that I would be completely and utterly exhausted and honestly, I am exhausted, but I'm not to the point where it makes me want to take a nap immediately afterward. Maybe that's because I'm already in shape. But, that's okay because I still get a great workout with it! I have to say my favorite one is the Ab Ripper X. I hate it, but at the same time I LOVE it. 


Well, I guess that's enough for an update tonight. I'm so sorry for being such a slacker at updating, but I've been super busy with school and my marriage and just life in general! I'll try to update tomorrow.
