Nicholas Sparks is a pretty happening guy right now, isn't he?  I just finished The Wedding today- I started last night.  When I find the value and interest in something, I have a hard time letting it go.  Sparks has written such books as Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, and The Notebook, all of which have been made into movies.  All of whom I've seen, the last of which I especially adore.  They're definitely chic flicks.  All have at least some moment that's made me cry, and many to smile.  Sparks does a good job of making me feel like I'm part of the family- and I've made notes on what may come (in my own life)- The Wedding is about a couple who've been married for 30 years, and they've drifted apart through that time.  Reading it was enjoyable, and like listening to a grandparent or aunt/uncle relaying their own story, with warnings/advice and such intertwined.

The first half of this week has been hectic, but I have nothing major in the next day or so, so I'm relaxing.  My friend Amber is coming up for the weekend, and I'm looking forward to spending quality time with her.  We'll take in the dollar theatre, The Old Spaghetti Factory, and some (Christmas) shopping.  I'm excited!
