It looks like a thick book...because it is. It is 8x10 and topped out at 440 pages. Yup, 440. That's as many pages as you can get into a blurb book. I don't care if I'm the only one who ever reads it, while I was making it I came across so many things that I had forgotten about. I am very thankful for blogging. Most of it was taken right from our blog. And if you do not want to read my ramblings, the book is full of photos. Mostly of Eddie. :)
I proudly have it displayed in the living room next to the tulips Mark brought home on Tuesday. I was totally baffled. I can only think of one other time that he brought home flowers and it wasn't our anniversary, Valentines or National Pancake Day. Turned out he had his students read a short story that motivated him to buy flowers. The story is about a woman who while ironing her husbands shirts thinks of all the things that she does for him. Eventually she comes to the conclusion that she wants a wife to take care of her. It was pretty cute.
Back to the book, I highly recommend joining the BlurbNation and becoming a blurberati (I think that word is funny). It is a very user friendly program that you download onto your computer. It will even slurp your blog into a book so you don't have to do lots of copying and pasting. If you are interested in seeing my book just let me know - I love to show off photos of my boys. :)

Hmm I might just have to do this and what a great husband you have to realize how much you do for him.
What is National Pancake Day?! Is this a real day? Just curious. I do not like pancakes, but I was intrigued. :)
Mark came home one day with flowers and announced we were having pancakes for dinner. He found out it was National Pancake Day. Mark doesn't like breakfast for dinner, but knows I do. And with it being a 'holiday' he thought we should celebrate. Julie, your brother is a sweetheart! :)
Hey Jen! I found your blog! I loved the blurb book and have been trying to figure it out today as I sit on the couch not feeling very well. Hey! I also figured out that you must know my sister-in-law, Jen Frego! I saw her blog on your side bar of friend's links. It's a small world! Thanks again for a fun time last night...it was great getting to know you girls better. :)
Did you do it from your posts on here? I mean, if not, that's a TON of writing. It would be fun to check it out! Too bad I didn't see it when we were out!
