Okay, I must be the luckiest girl alive! In addition to all my other wondrous Christmas gifts, I received something that most people wouldn't find very cool but that I find amazing. Remember my list of favorite books from a couple posts ago? Well, my mom knew that I wanted my own copy of one of my favorites, "These is My Words." But she went the extra mile, to say the least. My last present Christmas morning was a small package sent from an address in Tuscon. I recognized the sender's name immediately: Nancy E. Turner! She is the author of "These is My Words," so I unwrapped the package with much excitement. Lo and behold, there laid a brand-new copy of the book, and it was signed by Nancy herself! The message read, "For Katie, Merry Christmas and all best wishes! 'Keep your eyes on the horizon . . . ' Nancy E. Turner, December 25, 2010." I kept the package as a souveneir and thanked my mom many times over. She has been Nancy's e-mail pen pal for a while (so jealous!) and apparently asked her to sign the book for me. I'm now rereading the book and enjoying it very, very much. Hooray for my mother, and hooray for Christmas!
