i went to the library yesterday and i got five books. three of which i am excited about, and one that i am 70 pages into. the book that i am giving myself over to at the moment is called The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I was hooked on the second page and that is a good thing because it is over 500 pages long. it is about a boy, Edgar Sawtelle that grows up in rural wisconsin in the 50s. He is mute, has the ability to hear and lives on a farm with his parents who raise dogs.

this weekend we are going to south bend and to noblesville indiana for a birthday party for one of jason's cousins. I have two days off in a row (it took a little prodding but it is good to go) i am looking forward to the weekend and to a mini road trip.
