Summer Reading

When I was in high school, the LAST thing I wanted to do was the assigned summer reading for English class.  How can you give teenagers homework over summer vacation?!

But for the past couple of weeks, I have been craving a good book to read.  Marcus works at the library on campus, so I asked him to bring home a book, but since it is mostly a research library, they don't really have much of what I'm looking for.

So, tomorrow Marcus and I are going to the Nashville Public Library to get myself a library card.  I'm really excited about checking out some mindless fiction and would love any suggestions you may have.  What's the last good book you read? Or your favorite book you've read?  I don't have a lot of criteria, I just want it to be fiction and I don't want to think too hard. :)

Also on the agenda for the weekend: getting my dress altered for my sister's wedding, a baby shower, and buying a water hose so we can wash our cars, and finally taking pictures of our house!  Please tell me we are not boring newlyweds....

Excited for your recommendations...don't let me down!

Wedding Contest for My Friends

So, I started this blog and have had a hard time finding motivation for another post.  I will be posting pictures of our house soon, but in the mean time, want to ask you a favor (all 3 of you who might read this, ha!).  Two of my friends from college are finalists in a contest in which they can win a trip to California and $10,000 toward their dream wedding.  Please, if you have some time, vote for them and tell all your friends!  They are the only finalists from Texas, so I think that should be reason enough to vote for them, but besides that, they are really great people and they really deserve to win!

Just click on the link and enter your e-mail address to vote for JOHN and STEFANIE- you won't receive any mail from them other than one in which you confirm your vote.  You have until August 8th to vote and post the link on your blog, fb, etc! Thanks!!

Everybody's Doing It

So I'm jumping on the bandwagon.  It seems that almost all of our married friends have started a blog and I guess it's about time we did too.  Marcus and I got married in May, and are making our home in Nashville, TN.  Hopefully we can use this blog to share our adventures and daily life with you (whoever you is).  This whole blogging thing is very new to me- it might take a while to figure it all out, but bear with me!  Any suggestions and advice is welcome and appreciated.  Happy Reading!
