My Early Birthday Present to Myself!!

I read online a while back that possibly my most favorite Christian fiction author, Francine Rivers, was going to be in Houston the weekend before my birthday for a book signing. I begged Brandon to PLEASE let me go and he gave the OK and I have been anxiously anticipating this for WEEKS!! She was there signing copies of her new book "Her Mother's Hope" along with Beth Moore who was signing copies of her new book "So Long Insecurity" so I figured I'd just go ahead and get both books while I was there, I mean, how often do you get to meet not just one, but two best selling authors! Anyway, here are a couple of pictures that I got, we were told that we couldn't do posed pictures with Francine Rivers so the only one I got with her in it was right when they came in and were setting up...but Beth Moore was all about taking pictures with everyone, so she graciously posed for a picture with me! This was one of the best birthday gifts I could have asked for...yes, I had to drive six hours round trip, but it was totally worth it!
