Summer Reading

One of things I have been enjoying since school has ended is reading. During the school year I don't have much time to read for pleasure. I have never been a big reader [I am more of a mathematical person], but this summer my goal is to read:

Les Misérables

I read a shortened version of Les Mis when I was a Senior in high school and I absolutely loved it. The summer after my Senior year I read the unabridged version.



This is my favorite literature book hands down.
[And this is why I had to buy another book] :]

This books shows the power of Mercy, Grace, and Love which reminds me of the Love that Christ has for us.
[If there is one thing I learned from high school literature it is to be an active reader -- pen in hand]

I learn new things every time I read this book, which is why I am reading it again. His writing is just excellent and a delight to read.


NCLEX-RN


Another goal I have this summer is to start study for the NCLEX-RN exam that I will be taking after I graduate. I have started reading this book and it is excellent thus far. This review book has given me a better understanding of the exam layout and strategies to choose the correct answers. This book also contains some practice questions [they recommend going through at least 5,000 practice questions [!] prior to taking the NCLEX-exam]. I guess it's never too early to start studying right? :]

Brittany's Baby Shower/Gabrielle Adora

Last weekend Brittany had her baby shower for the "Lemon".

The Lemon is either a Stephen or Evangeline. . .
[[I think it is a Stevie]]

I cannot wait to meet this little one. I love the Lemon SO much already!

I also got to meet my new niece Gabrielle Adora last weekend. She is just so precious! I'm so thankful for another beautiful, healthy, niece. I just love her so much!

What an amazing weekend. It is a blast when all my sisters can get together! What a blessed time that I am grateful to God for. I cannot wait until the beach where we can all be together again!
