I've totally slacked this weekend on my 30 Day Blog Challenge. I thought I'd catch you up right here with three days in one post.

Day 6: Your day in 6 words

Great girl time, shopping, food, napping.

Day 5: Your favorite quote

I've always loved quotes. I used to have them as border around my bedroom in college. Sometimes the right quote will help you get through a tough time in your life. There are so many that I love. This one though, is one of my favorites, "I don't pretend what love is for everyone. But I can tell you what it is for me. Love is knowing all about someone and still wanting to be with them more than anyone else. Love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you are ashamed of. Love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak in the knees when they walk in the room and smile at you." It just makes me happy and hopeful about love.

Day 4: Your favorite book

I read a lot, so this one is a little hard for me. I have 2 favorites that I could read over and over, I think. Oddly enough, they have both been made into movies. I loved the books WAY more than the movies and I read them before I watched the movies.

The first is The Lovely Bones. I read this book several years ago. I had gotten out of reading for quite some time. My parents used to take me to the library as a small child. {I can still picture the public library in Mechanicsville, VA}. When we moved back to KY, they kinda stopped going and I started high school and didn't read anymore. In college, I went to the beach with my friend Candice and her family. I borrowed The Lovely Bones from her to read at the beach. I have been hooked back on reading ever since. If you have never read this book, I really suggest it. It's emotional and you really might cry, but it's so great!

The second favorite is Message in a Bottle. Hands down my favorite Nicholas Sparks book and I couldn't even make it through that movie. He writes such good love stories!
