Beach with the Batson's!!!

The past week I went to Ft. Walton Beach, FL with Can, Lou, and the family! It was so much fun. The first few nights, there was a little rain, but after that, it was gorgeous! And it was amazing to see how much the ocean changed every day. After the rain stopped, the water got clearer and clearer. It was amazing how far you could get in the water and still see the bottom! Here are a few beach pics!

I also bought a fancy purse at The Outlets! The girls go to leave the boys with the menfolk. It was on super sale! It was still more then I have ever spent on a purse but I'm loving it so far!!

Divergent - Movie Trailer and Book Review

SUMMARY: In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she can’t have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are—and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

I really enjoyed this book! It was was a different and fast paced. And the movie should be really good! The series is going to be a set of three books. I've acquired a copy of the 2nd book, Insurgent, from the library. But the final book doesn't come out for another month!! Can't wait!
