Gone Girl - by Gillian Flynn

I was hooked from the description on Goodreads.  Gillian Flynn is a very unique, but twisted, author and I love it!  The first half of the book left me feeling a little "WTF?!" for most of it.  And I know its intentional, but I absolutely hated both Nick and Amy.  Neither main character had any redeeming qualities.  I need to admit that the ending made me really angry.  I didn't expect it at all, but I didn't like it either.  I recommend Gone Girl, though.

Today is my first official day of Summer Vacation!  I will miss my two classes immensely, but I am so proud that they are now first graders!  I have made sure to start the summer with a jam-packed day.  Chiropractor appointment, LIBRARY BOOK PICK UP (my favorite!), insurance appointment, and my summer job for 5 hours.

Busy busy day.

Nate and I are in the process of buying the house next to my parents.  It has been the single most stressful experience of my life.  More stressful than planning our wedding.  More stressful than planning Tiffany's bridal shower and bachelorette party and all of the stress that came with that.  This is the worst.  But it will totally be worth it in the end.

Although, I wonder if there's a site where you can rate your real estate agent, kind of like you could rate your professors in college?

Its been a rough reading year so far.  I am in the middle of two books right now, Defending Jacob and Afterwards, both of which are due back this week and I am only about halfway through each.  I am curious about the endings, but not enough to stay up late into the night.  They aren't easy reads at all.


My favorite part of summer - concerts!
