Nightly Readings Aloud

My sweet husband is so helpful and without even knowing it. There are only a few months left until the end of the year and I am running out of time to accomplish my New Year Resolution. He didn't exactly plan to help me with it, he simply made a suggestion: "Let's read, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, together." And so we did. We spent the week ending our days with a few chapters here and there from the book. As we lay in bed, it was so fun to hear each other's voices and imagine the scenes of a story we both had read and seen many times before. Of course we read with voices as full of animation as possible, so that added to the entertainment.

I love having a husband who chose to enjoy nightly readings of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We haven't picked up the next book of the series yet, but we may. Even if we don't, it was a super fun week and I'm two steps closer to my goal.

Other readings: Same Kind of Different as Me is still on the list; it's just been tabled for the moment. Also I'm supposed to be reading Follow Me to Freedom by John Perkins and Shane Claiborne, but that's been off to a slow start.

I'll keep you posted.
