so three things about me. if we were going to be bff, what would i want you to know about me? once i asked my college roommates what my next roommate should know about me. "you smile when you put on blush," they answered. and they're right-- it's how i find my cheekbones. that one's a freebee for you, but i guess it's important to know.
1. i am a total bookworm. i am always, always, always reading a book or dreaming about books. when borders was just a few blocks from our house, tovi and i would walk over, get some frozen yogurt, and then i would wander around borders, just running my fingers over all the book covers. i revisit my favorite books on a regular basis, yes, even mysteries. when i am reading, there is absolutely nothing else in the world that matters. can i tell you a secret? i hope that there's a book hiding somewhere in me, but right now it is deep in my heart and i'm just letting life happen until God calls it to the forefront.
today i'm reading: waiting for birdy, 7, and bread & wine.
2. ten years ago today tovi and i went on our first date! i think we both fell pretty hard for each other (and dang, we were young! just babies!). even though our personalities can be different, we have an amazing relationship, an awesome friendship, and wonderful marriage. baby, here's to ten more (and more and more!).

3. for the love of all that is holy, i cannot drink a green smoothie. but! i totally like the idea of greens and healthy choices in morning, so i often make a breakfast salad. basically the same thing, right? this morning i had a spinach salad with apple, avo, homemade turkey-spinach meatballs (yeah, i got fancy like that), and honey-dijon dressing. yum yum yum.
and what do i love about the influence network? so much!
i've been able to take online classes from annie downs and jessi connolly, and both were so encouraging for my blogging journey-- using this tiny space to speak life and give glory to God and just simply share my journey.
What?! I love breakfast salads! Friend, I thought I was the only one.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast salad for the win! :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful smile you have :) And breakfast salads? I might have to try that! Nice to meet you from the network!
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteI love reading my favorite books over and over again, too! When people ask me why I do that (since I already know the ending), I ask them why they watch their favorite movies over and over again. The experience gets richer each time (plus, once I've read a book, I give myself permission to skip over any parts I don't like).
ReplyDeleteDo you have any idea what kind of book you might want to write? Best of luck with it (and the blog and any other creative projects)!
Love this! Your sweetness radiates. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Becca! I just have to say it... I love your name. Growing up, it was on my list of favourite names. I would name my baby dolls Becca, pretend I was Becca, and now, I simply love the name! (goodness, how many times did I say "name"! haha)
ReplyDeleteTotally get what you mean about the green smoothies! But mmm that breakfast salad sounds delightful. This morning I made one, too. It consisted of lettuce, olives, goat cheese, salmon, and cucumbers.
i hope there is a book hidden in me as well!!!! and i am really wanting to read 7! do you love it?!?!
ReplyDelete1. love your site design! 2. you are too cute 3. i want to write a book someday too! i can tell by the little i've read here that you would make a great author! ;)
ReplyDeleteA salad for breakfast sounds like a fabulous idea. I've tried to do the green smoothie, and yuck! just can't do it!
ReplyDeleteI am reading 7 right now as well. I am loving it so far!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Influence Network link up!
Here from the link-up! Such a cute blog. I love to read too! But a breakfast salad? You lost me there :)
ReplyDeleteI remember when Borders was in town! I'm so bummed it's gone now :(
ReplyDeleteI am awaiting my copy of Bread & Wine, which I can't wait to read. I love Shauna's writing! And 7... oh man. What an amazing read.
ReplyDeleteI firmly believe that good readers make great writers, so I bet the book that is growing within your spirit will be amazing.
I can't wait to read Bread & Wine. Love Shauna! I always love a good book!
ReplyDeleteI love both of your photos so much!
ReplyDeleteHi! Nice to meet you. I am coming from the influence link up. I actually just put all of Shauna's books on my nook wish list to buy when I next have the funds. I have heard such good things. I am also an avid reader, but struggle to find the time these days so I have started to pick my books very wisely (no more fluffy novels until the summer for me). oh and I agree with the green smoothie thing, but I never thought of a breakfast salad. I am going to start doing that. Breakfast is such a hard mean to eat healthy if you don't like green smoothies and don't want to down oatmeal every day.
ReplyDeleteA breakfast salad sounds like such a good idea! I love books, too. I always have a small mountain's worth out from the library. I can't wait to read Bread and Wine; I just ordered it from Amazon today!
ReplyDeleteThis was adorable. I also smile when I put my blush on (how else do I know?!) and eating salad for breakfast is super Israeli. When you order breakfast in Israel it always includes a side of Israeli salad and olives. I love it! Very sweet blog...I'm excited to keep reading :)
