Blog #1

This is my first blog...ever.  I'm not sure if anything I have to say is going to be particularly interesting, but then again it may be kind of nice to get ideas out of my head and "on paper."  I was going to read a book called The Out of Sync Child.  A friend of mine recommended it to me after we were talking about our children and the difficulties we sometimes have with them.  I decided though that if I was going to read for pleasure I wanted it to be something that was just for fun.  I still want to read the other book, but with all of the reading I am having to do this semester, I needed something I didn't have to think about.
So now I'm reading Something Blue by Emily Giffin.  This summer I read her Something Borrowed after spending a lot of time in the library trying to find something to read.  I saw the advertisements for the movie and I just happened to see the book in the library so I thought I would try it.  I hadn't seen the movie yet and I wanted to wait until I read the book to watch it.
The first book was told from the point of view of Rachel.  She and Darcy were best friends since childhood and Rachel ended up betraying Darcy by having an affair with her fiance.  The situation is not something I would condone or be involved in, and some of the language in the book was a bit harsh at times, but it's about young professionals living in New York City so I guess it is to be expected.  The book I am reading now, Something Blue, is told from Darcy's point of view.  It begins a little before where the other book ended.  Darcy just found out about Rachel and Dex (Darcy's now ex-fiance).  Darcy is understandably upset, but she refuses to let them off the hook, even though she cheated on her fiance and got pregnant with one of his friends.  WOW!  Now that I am actually putting this in writing it sounds really bad.  Like I said before, this is not something that I believe in, but I'm sure it happens.  Reading these books, however, makes me thankful for my marriage to my amazing husband and my Christian upbringing so that I was never in that type of situation.  So I guess I will be reading about how things work out for Darcy and her baby.  (I'm assuming it's a boy because of the title.)
