Q&A, Giveaway Winners, and Other Exciting News

As I sit here, consuming too much coffee ice cream and enjoying the gentle breezes of summer (which has FINALLY decided to show up) I feel like I should wax poetic on this introduction. I should contemplate the many mysteries of life, like why do birds sing and how fast do stars die and why does my friend think a gorilla is a sasquatch...but I won't. Why?
 
BECAUSE I'M HERE WITH SO MANY EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!!
 
 
A special thanks to the five girls who sent in questions for my Q&A video, it was fun to answer them, and MAN did you give me some hard ones! (But no math equations so thank you so much for that.) I hope you all enjoy my answers and find them helpful and informative. I'm hoping to do another one soon, closer to my birthday, so keep an eye out for that link. ;)  


 
 
I know that this monthly wrap-up post will be different than most, but I thought I should acknowledge a couple very important things going on in my life:
 
1: I'M AN AUNTIE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!!!
That's right, my friends. My older sister told us last Saturday that she was expecting. I don't know if the baby is a boy or girl yet, since Sarah is only like one month in to this new adventure...BUT...*deep breath* I've been freaking out in a good way ever since I heard the news! I think I'm more excited about this little human than my sister is. XD
 
2: I'm having another book-signing at the end of June!!!
A little less world-shattering after becoming an auntie, but exciting news none-the-less. I'm hosting a book-signing for "Sleeping Handsome" and "Thoughts in Verse" on June 30th, 2018. If any of you are local (or even up to a couple hours away) you should TOTALLY try to make it to my house for that! I wish all of you could come and hang out with me, but I know due to location that most of you won't. :( If you CAN make it, let me know and I'll give you directions. (Psssst, there will be free cookies... B-)

If this post seemed short to you...that's because it was. :) I'm hoping to get into a better blogging rhythm during summer, but we'll have to see how that works out.
 
Until next time, let everything you do be done for the glory of God!

      I wish you could make it, but yeah, coming from TN would seem a LITTLE over-kill. XD

  7. Wahooo!! SO excited I won Sleeping Handsome!! I immediately went and read a summary of it, and thought it was cool you set it in the British Isles since that is a place you really want to visit. So thank you so much for picking me to win your book. I am very excited to read it. :)
