It's a rainy day and I can think about it getting back home and crawling under a pile of blankets on the couch, digging into some pop corn and losing myself in the new book I've picked up. It's titled, Snow, by Oham Pamuk and it's a fascinating account of man's return to his home country, Turkey, after spending 10 years exiled to Germany. A religious revolution greets him and he struggles with what his beliefs are. Although he's drunk through a majority of the book it's a really interesting account of an atheist's experience in discoverying where his faith lies. I'd be interested in hearing someone else's perspective.
I started a book group here to try and meet people. The hardest thing I've found about moving to new city and joining the "real world" is finding people to share your life with. It's always been a given - new schools where people are going through the same experiences and you have a solid ground to base your friendship off of - you can make the change and adjustment together. It's not like that anymore and I miss the company of a good friend. I'm sure having a serious boyfriend eliminates some opportunities for new people, but i'm working at it. :)
Grandpa wanted to see more blogs on this site, so I hope this suffices. I had a great dinner with them last night! I hope to see you all soon.

Great Post!! Maybe I'll pick up "Snow." The dinner with you and Mike was great, but the company was greater. Love - Grandpa
You're a good writer sweetheart.....Chuck and I have a Barnes and Noble date tonight, I'll pick the book up. My next bookgroup read is Enough by McKibbon. I don't know much about it yet. It's non fiction. I'll let you know if it's worth reading.......xoxox
