A Young Wife’s Tale

The Money Answer Book by Dave Ramsey is a book that answers some of the most common questions Dave Ramsey hears on his radio show. He answers questions such as, “My husband just left me. How do I protect my credit?” and “Will I retire with more money if it’s invested in a Roth IRA or a traditional IRA?”

I read mostly fiction, and math was my absolute worst subject in school, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read about how integral Sir Newton’s faith was to his life and work. My husband and I had a good discussion on consubstantiation after reading about Newton’s difficulty with the doctrine of the Trinity.

A few months ago, we decided to workout together at Maegan’s gym. I rarely do cardio. I like my low impact Pilates. I arrived at her place and we chatted for a few minutes while I raided her pantry because I can’t workout on an empty stomach. Then, we drove to the gym. We went to the front desk to get a guest pass and realized that they were closing in 12 minutes.

So, what did we do? We ran upstairs and used the elliptical machines for 10 minutes. When we left I decided I really needed to eat dinner, so we stopped at Chic-fil-A.

Here are some reviews of books I’ve recently read.

A Thousand Tomorrows by Karen Kingsbury – A nice read for people with chronic illness, because so few love stories feature young people with a chronic illness. There were some cheesy love lines, and it was predictable, but the picture of sacrificial love was beautiful. It reminded me of A Walk to Remember.

I love books! Here are some of my favorites.

Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer
The Lord of the Rings by J.R. Tolkein
The Space Trilogy by C.S. Lewis (Yes, I am a nerd.)
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Miss Invisible by Laura Jensen Walker (Perfect beach read)
