Back in Hawaii

I’m back in Hawaii and so enjoying the time with my boys.  It’s been six weeks since I saw my guy Ty and three weeks since I held Mac.  It’s so good to be back with them both, and now Jake arrives from California tomorrow with a couple of friends.   All I need is son Ty to be here too so I’d have my whole family with me, and it would be perfect!  Unfortunately, I have to wait another 2 weeks to see that boy.  It’s a tough summer this year with everyone spread out in so many different directions.

Summer keeps Ty busy teaching surfing

Conference in Atlanta was fantastic – hectic but so much fun.  It was great to see my editors and catch up with my friends.  There’s always a crazy, fun energy that makes it an unforgettable event each year.  But now I’m happy to enjoy some quiet time on the beach and catch up on my reading.  I’ve just finished reading an ARC for Mary Balogh’s The Arrangement.  Awesome, awesome book.  Loved it!!  And before that I read Lorraine Heath’s Lord of Wicked Intentions.  I honestly love coming to Hawaii as it gives me a chance to get caught up on reading so many of my favorite authors!

  9. So excited for The Good Wife! I’ve really loved this series. I haven’t done nearly enough reading this summer, but have quite the TBR stack.
