Harry Potter

Well, I have been out of school and done with boards and waiting on my job to start with no other real responsibilities for the last month or two. I thought there was no better time to read the Harry Potter series. I absolutely love to read and I recently started watching all the movies. But, deep down, I cannot be satisfied with a movie....I have to read the book. Movies really never are quite as good as the books they are made from.

Anyway, I began reading the books, starting with the first and just finished the last book number seven today. I am sad that my time with Harry is finished but I was thoroughly entertained by every adventure. At first, I was a little weirded out by the whole magic issue, but I realized the reason I was so intrigued was because it was another classic tale of good-vs-evil.

I obviously will not tell you which side wins in the end, just in case you have never read the books either. I will definitely tell you they are a fun and exciting read if you are looking for a new book to pick up.

I am always so sad when my journey with a book ends. This is really sad because I have really read a lot of pages about Harry's adventures and now it is over. I am glad to be at the end of journey, though, especially because the next movie comes out in a couple of weeks.

Well, work has begun and I will have much less leisurely book-reading time. But, I feel I have just finished a great accomplishment and thought I would tell you about it.

The books reminded me of how thankful I am that I am purchased and sealed by the blood of Christ. Though the battle rages on around me and evil exists in the world, I belong to Christ. I am beyond grateful to be able to boast in the fact. I have the Lord on my side...what a gift! The books obviously make no mention of Christ and they are in no way biblical, but they served to remind me of my chosen glorious fate and for that I am grateful, as well.

Check out Harry Potter if you are interested. I really enjoyed it! A constant adventure full of excitement!

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an

Miracle!!

Ryan and I are so so thankful and excited to make the announcement that we are having a baby! Right now, I have just finished up the first trimester. The baby is almost 15 weeks old. We actually get to find out the gender in a couple of weeks, which is so exciting! It has been such a wonderful time. The Lord has truly blessed us with this miracle. Through this process, the thing that I have been thinking the most of in my heart is that the Lord is good. I don't know why this truth is sometimes hard for me to soak in. Life is hard and trials happen- this is so true and the trials do not make God any less good. However, sometimes, the Lord just gives to His children. I find it so crazy that I am resistant to believe this at times, but I always look at the toughest or hardest outcome in a situation and assume that it will happen. However, through this, I have been reminded that although the Lord allows hard things to happen at times to shape and define us, He does good things a

Reflections

I am currently about to be done with my last class ever in PA school. That fact combined with the fact that I have to turn in my computer in about an hour has inspired me to blog! I cannot believe that this chapter of my life is almost done. As I look back over my life, I think of the many things that I have done and sacrificed to prepare for this moment. High school and working hard to make the best grades possible and be involved so that I could achieve something and do something with my life. College and majoring in Biology so that I could go into the health care field. Figuring out that I wanted to go to PA school and my course changing. I ended up having to take about 36 extra hours on top of biology courses just to get the pre-reqs I needed for PA school. I remember back to the application process and attempting to make sure everything was in order. Then I was devastated when I did not get into PA school that first time. I began a job after we got married at the Heart Center to
