Introductions

OK I'm going to do some quick introductions (since a few new book lovers have joined). I hope that we can all have a great time and be friends here through our love of books! Remember, if you have someone that you would like to invite, send me their email address! We'd love to get lots of people blogging away! Also, if there is something you would like to add about your life, talents, habits, etc. feel free! Let me know if I have shared too much info about you and I will remove it ASAP! Thanks ladies!

Members:

Ellen Tew - A student at BYU-Idaho and Aaron's cousin, Ellen is from Sugar City, ID (just outside of Rexburg for those of you not privileged enough to spend time there - although I think everyone has). Ellen has lots of cute nieces to play with and they have great toys. We should all go play at Elle's house!

Devony Wilson - The blog owner and the one to come to if you want to add someone or have any questions. I am a book addict, have a degree in history with minors in marriage & family studies and literature (how applicable!), live in Colorado, love crafts of all kinds, and have a husband, whose name is Aaron who I love lots. Also we are adopting, so let us know if you hear of any leads.

Jessica Robison - Devony's older sister who lives in Boise. She has a talented photographer husband (Heath) and 2 cats Willow and Smoky(who likes to read/be read to), and is one of the BEST scrapbookers I know! She's seriously soooo great. Jess probably knows better than anyone Devony's serious book addiction. She had to live with her for years!

Jordan Dixon - Jordan is a Colorado resident in Devony's ward (we are both in Beehives). She has a 2 1/2 year old son Gavin, a 2 week old son Reese, and a husband whose age is currently unknown by the author. And anyway, it's none of your business. Also, Gavin read me his favorite book last night. What a bright kid! Read Reading Magic for more on teaching kids to read before school.

Abby Beattie - Abby is Aaron's cousin and Ellen and Sarah's sister. And Maren's too but she hasn't joined the blog. And they are all the daughter's of Martha. Abby, her husband Brent, and their girls Laura (2 1/2) and Eden (10 months?) live in UT. Abby was a music major and plays the violin. She also teaches violin lessons!

Martha Tew - Martha is Aaron's mom's sister (his aunt) who lives in Sugar City. She's gracious enough to let everyone descend on her home each time we go back to Idaho and fill it with people. (Thanks!). As previously noted, Martha has 4 girls: Sarah, Maren, Abby, and Ellen. She also has 6 1/2 granddaughters. No boys. Just Uncle Paul whom we love. And the hubbies of the first 3 girls.

Sarah Schwartz - Sarah is the oldest of the Tew girls and lives in UT with her husband Nate, daughter Allie (2?) and the new daughter that hasn't been born yet. She's a self-admitted binge reader, has a master's degree in statistics (Sarah is that right?) and teaches college classes. (I hope I didn't just completely mess that up).

Abby DaBell - Abby is from Idaho Falls and knew Devony in high school (they are twinners because they were born on the same day in the same hospital, 7 hours apart). She and Devony were roomies in college, and she also plays violin. She and Abby Beattie played in the symphony together (they were stand partners) and were also later roommates (after Devony married Aaron). She and her husband Jake (who is in dental school) live in NC with son Connor (3) and daughter Brielle (Ellie - 5 months?).

Now that you all know a little bit about each other, let's all be friends and have a great time blogging!
