books before birthday.

{unknown source}

i can't wait to tell you all about my birthday weekend.

but, and it's a big but....

i have to get through 2 finals first.

total let down, i know.

i hope you had a fabulous weekend.

mine couldn't have been any better.

i've got to turn into a total book worm for the next couple of days.

but after that, i plan on turning into a total blog worm.

i can't wait to catch up on your summer adventures. 

oh, and thanks to all of you adorable readers who sent me sweet

 birthday wishes via twitter, email and texts!

you made my birthday that much better. 

xoxo

snapshots.

 well, hello there.

since life never gets the hint to slow down,

i thought i'd try to catch you up on our little life via  the quick 

snapshots of our crazy life as of late.

1. jean shirt and ray bans. never can go wrong with either.

2. raisin bread toast. an instant reminder of my grandma duffin. 

3. current read: between shades of gray.

{a quick read; certainly worth it. it's so beautifully written.}

i'm carried away in it's pages. find it here. 

4. mid air- just proving to my brothers who the real athlete is.

{obviously, a family inside joke}

5. one of our local organic markets. simply heavenly.

6. my graffiti on a chalkboard table. doodling is arguably my favorite hobby.

7. finally let lovebird take me to see the avengers.

i'll admit, i should have gone sooner. it was quite good.

8. i've been craving poolside time lately.

summer feels like it's begun, even though i still have two finals next week. 

there you have it. 

come follow me on instagram and lead me back to your fun pictures.

i can already promise i'll stalk you- as in be your biggest fan, of course.

are interested in guest posting!
there are still some available days- 
and i'd love to feature you!

hunger games

the hunger games.

yes, it's the official trailer.

and yes, i am already doing a countdown until march.

i may even read the book again. {for the third time}

please tell me you've read it,

and are just as excited as i am. 

happy monday.

if this doesn't brighten your day, i'm not sure what will. 

turn life off.

life is full of distractions.

tons of them. big and small.

i'm not a big tv fan. in fact joel and i rarely, if ever, watch it.

however, the computer seems to be a big distraction for me.

i could spend days on pinterest and reading blogs.

i'm going to take heed to this quote and settle in for the night reading.

thanks to my little midge who sent me a thanksgiving package...

i have a new book that anxiously awaits to be read.

title: two from galilee.

she says it is a lovely book. especially when read around the holidays.

if you are in need of a good quick read- go pick it up!

{my mom knows her books. she reads one a day. quite literally.}  

we can have a mini book club online.

happy sunday friends.

book worms

him: atlas shrugged

her: east of eden

we are reading some classics. 

it's about time- my mother would say.

we enjoy climbing into bed just a smidge earlier

to read instead of staying up to fiddle our thumbs.

{and boy, have i missed being a book worm.}

we both have many pages to read,

but it's our goal to finish them in the next couple of months. 

wish us luck. 

and i suggest you get reading too.

"it's so good for you"
