A Fun Day

Josi is a most amiable companion and the  many hours of driving was filled with good conversation. We stopped first in Idaho Falls where we met up with Erin Klinger who treated us to breakfast and accompanied us to our signing at Deseret Book. It was great to see her and to meet the staff of the Idaho Falls DB. They were very gracious and we enjoyed our time there. Toward the end of that signing we received a semi-worried phone call from my publicist wondering why I wasn’t at my scheduled signing. Turns out we were double booked and the Idaho Falls Seagull was expecting us as well. So we made a hasty farewell to Db and headed over for a quick visit to Seagull.

It’s good to be wanted

Next stop was Boise Seagull. Loved the staff there and had a great time with Stephanie and Meghan. Cute store–had to work hard to resist buying stuff.  Since my recent status of employment change, I need to be responsible with all things financial.

I got a refill of Dr Pepper and it seriously tasted like watermelon had been squeezed into it. Not exactly unpleasant, but most assuredly odd.

Note to self: wear wrist brace while driving. Remember the GPS is your friend so don’t talk back to her. Try not to sing along to music while Josi catnaps in the passenger’s seat (good thing she isn’t cat napping in the driver’s seat)

Here are some pics from Day one:

The car is packed, the gas tank full! I hope my kids are off to school, but since I’m not home anymore, for all I know Mr. wright gave them a free day and they’re all playing X-Box. We are officially on our way to our first stop, Idaho Falls. Just as a reminder, here are the two contests we’ll be doing during the tour:

*In Person: For those people who are able to come to one of the bookstores, you’ll have the chance to enter a drawing for a $40 gift card to either Olive Garden, Best Buy, or Bed, Bath and Beyond.

*On-line: Anyone that comments on a blog, facebook status, or twitter update will be automatically entered into a drawing for a $15 gift card to Amazon.com

Both contests will end when we get home; winners to be announced and contacted on Monday the 23rd.

I will be updating my twitter and facebook via cell phone throughout the tour, so if you’re not subscribed to me on either of these forums and would like to be, please go to my pages at Julie Peterson Wright for facebook or for Twitter: http://twitter.com/scatteredjules

We’ve had people tell family members in some of the cities about the signing, other people have announced it in their wards and we just can’t thank you enough for the amazing support we’ve been given. It’s truly priceless!
