best friends + summer

me and brittany

Three fun things happened this week.

1) I finished a huge project I’ve been working on for awhile.

2) My friend Brittany came to visit me.

3) My kid’s finished the school year & are now home for the summer.

I finished a few ebooks!

It was a big project.

I am glad to be done.

I hope you like them.

(You can check them out here, and they are 40-55% through next Tuesday, so take advantage–this is the lowest price I will ever offer them.)

best friends

She & I met when we were both students at a mostly unknown, small liberal arts college nestled in the hills of Virginia.

She needed a roommate, & I needed a room. And that’s how our friendship started.

It’s been a few years since we’ve seen each other, but as soon as we saw each other we picked up where we left off.

Brittany is a historian.

(A historian of Mormon women’s history, to be specific).

She’s a writer and editor, and just an interesting, lovely person. There’s never a shortage of things to talk or laugh about when we’re together.

Since we’re both writers, we talked editing, formatting, publishing, and she taught me how to organize all my digital files (which have been such a mess!). All sorts of nerdy, niche-y stuff–but you know you have a true kindred spirit and friend when you can just chat about little and insignificant things and have such an enjoyable time while you’re at it.

Yesterday we went to a little Thai joint for lunch.

Afterwards, we went to a Mormon Women’s History Tea & book discussion (part of the Mormon History Association conference she’s attending this weekend).

It was fun to be surrounded by a lot of really smart & insightful women and men.

summer time!

My kid’s are out of school for the summer. Which means my house is full of fun & chaos 24-7. It also means I’ll be blogging less (2-3 times a week instead of daily).

Thanks for all your love & support with my bring joy shop pre-launch. I’m excited to have a full shop up & running this next week, & am so grateful to all of you how have bought any or all of my ebooks. You have no idea how much this means to me.
