Between the Lines

Books have not always been my my favorite things. To be honest with you, I am a fairly good reader, however I rarely find time to read and have trouble finding books I like. However that was until I read books like Crazy Love or Irresistible Revolution. Books that taught me something about who I was or about people in this world. I think Irresistible Revolution by Shane Clairborne is my favorite book of all time. If you haven't read it, do it. I promise you won't regret it.

Other books that are dear to my heart are series like The Archie Comics and The Clown-Arounds. However these books bring something different to my life. When I was younger I had trouble falling asleep because I would always fill my head with unrealistic scary thoughts. Okay, to be honest sometimes I still have that problem. But when I would read books such as these, filled with silly humor and childish stories, my mind would slow down, and for some reason, I wouldn't be afraid anymore. 

I appreciate that people use books for all different things. Some as simple reading pleasure, some as an escape, and some for educational purposes. Regardless, all books have value. 

On a side note, I also found these super cool book ends on sale at Borders. Lucky me!

Happy Reading!

Mother may I?

Lately I've developed a liking for Birkenstocks. I've seen them everywhere and each time I do I feel they cry out to me, "Buy me!"

I can't deny it any more. In just a few weeks (once I get paid) I will be a very proud owner of these lovely shoes.

I am so lucky to have the friends that I do. Honestly my community is a huge reason I am who I am today. Three of my friends live together and were nice enough to let me shoot some pictures of them this labor day weekend. Alycia, Sarah and Sam are seriously all beautiful, inside and out. They all photograph so well so it is not hard at all to capture a great picture of them. They are all so fun to be around and I feel so blessed to have them in my lives. Here's a small preview of their beauty, and I hope I get to take more pictures of them soon :)
