Finally reading...

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Its been on my "to-read" list for ages, but I'm finally getting to it. I'm quite excited. Anyone else read it?

I came across these beautiful leather-bound books, and fell in love. I have two of my own - a complete set of Jane Austen's books, and the Bronte sisters. I don't even read them for fear of ruining them, but keep them on display in my living room. They're gorgeous. I want more to collect. 

Anyone else collect books?

Why I love DC: #1 Cherry Blossoms

There are many times I don't appreciate the city I live in, and I grumble about how expensive things are, the humidity, or the metro. But, at the end of the day, I love where I live and living in our nation's capitol. I'm going to make this a new section of my blog, "Why I love DC" to look back on as little reminders for why DC is so amazing.

These photos are now a few months old, but nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats the cherry blossom season in DC. Its such a short time window, but it is just beautiful. Walking around the Tidal Basin, knowing that spring is in the air and looking at the amazing blossoms, you can't help be happy with life. Here are a few of my favorite photos.
