DIY: DVD Shelf

I have to brag on my husband a little bit. You see, our DVD collection outgrew our DVD shelf...

We looked around for a new one, but they were all either not the right size or style, way too expensive, or just plain ugly, so he decided he would build a new one for us.  Look at how awesome he did!! He (along with my mad painting skills) made us a beautiful new DVD shelf. We now have a custom, one-of-kind piece of furniture to house our movies! :) I'm so lucky to have such a talented husband!

Mavs Game

A couple of weeks ago we were given tickets to the Mavs game and took our friends, Russell and Katie, with us. We grabbed a quick dinner before the game and then enjoyed a great game even though the Mavs lost. As always, it was great to spend time with them and we had lots of fun.

Book #2 - The One You Love

 
This past weekend I finished book #2 for the year, The One You Love by Paul Pilkington. It's one of the top downloaded mystery books on Amazon. Here's the synopsis from Amazon:

Emma Holden's nightmare has just begun. Her fiancé vanishes, leaving the battered and bloodied body of his brother in their London apartment. Someone is stalking her, watching her every move. And her family are hiding a horrifying secret; a secret that threatens all those she loves. In a desperate race against time, Emma must uncover the truth if she ever wants to see her fiancé alive again.

I really enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow, but picked up after a few chapters and soon I couldn't put it down. There's several twists and turns in the book and I really didn't know who did it until the end of the book. To me, the author could have tied up the end of the book a little more. He solved the main plot, but left the reader hanging on how everything for the characters turned out. I like things to be tied up in a pretty package at the end. If you have a Kindle, I would recommend downloading and reading this book.
