I love whenever May 10th rolls around.
In the world of Will and Christa, it's a national holiday because it's the day we got engaged back in 2005. Speaking of which, I can't believe that was eight (!!!) years already. Time is, indeed, flying right on by.
Back in 2005, we were in Chicago because that's where U2 was. While Will had seen those fabulous Irishmen in concert already, I hadn't. So need...

Description:
In what’s a hilarious take on the whole dating scene, "Around the World in 80 Dates" has the tone of someone who’s been there—without all the whining, of course.
Travel writer Sydney Alexander is ready for one particular journey to end: her frustrating search for a Mr. Right. As a Christian twentysomething navigating the weird world of dating, she's encountered more than her share of frogs. From men who can't keep a jo to self-centered professionals, her lackluster dates leave Sydney wondering where the good guys are hiding.
But things are looking way up. Just after landing her dream job, she meets an eligible round of bachelors, including a dashing European, a promising blind date, and a charming coffee-shop wordsmith. Now Sydney will discover just how far she's willing to compromise to land her dream guy.
Around the World in 80 Dates shares a woman's humorous take on being single. Filled with wit, real issues, and quirky characters, Sydney's story will encourage female readers to never settle.

I have read many of Sophie Kinsella’s books over the years. In fact, if I’m honest, I can probably thank her for my love of this genre as it is today, being that hers was one of the first chick-lits I ever read! But oh dear…what happened? Wedding...
