For a while I was reading a whole lot but as summer progressed I got lazier (and busier)and stopped reading as much. When I made my schedule for class I obviously was not in my right mind. I commute to Rowan which is about an hour away from me. The problem is monday and Wednesday I have a 4.5 hour break in between my classes, you see what I mean ... What was I thinking?! Well back to where I started with this post, I would like to get back into reading more and with all this new found "down time" not at home to nap and watch TV I will be forced to either read or do homework and anything that helps me procrastinate homework is a friend of mine!
The borders around here are going out of business and I stopped in the other day to see what I could get for rather cheap. I found a book with an awesome cover, yeah yeah I know don't judge a book by its cover (I always do). The book was called The Tortilla Curtain and so Far I love it. I actually am looking forward to my four and a half hour breaks to finish this book.

This is the start of chapter one, what Eddy and I would like to accomplish in life. We did one separate goal each and two combined goals!

Although I am terrified of heights i would like to one day ride in a hot air balloon! I feel like it would be so romantic and fun!

This is Eddy's personal goal. He wants to be able to make money with his paintings and find a good graphic design job, instead of the one he has now. I also want to be successful but as a teacher and with making things! This page is directly related to his paintings.

We both want to have children some day, (I want lots of them, he's not to sure about the LOTS)

and we both want to buy a house, we have agreed that when it is time to move out we will just buy a house because renting is a waste of money. Its a big responsibility but eventually we will be ready for it!

this is a list of the things we want to do, short term & long term. Well ... its not finished yet. I figured as we make goals we will write them down! its hard to think of things on the spot, well sometimes!

Recently I was at the store and saw this gorgeous book for about 50 cents, It needed a little bit of work, but I was willing to fix it! I spray painted the cover a deep purple and then added drips with a light pink color, I'm not really super fond of how the cover came out, but its growing on me!

This is the spine of the book, Harrowing adventures

This is the first page of the inside cover. Since i used the song "The Harrowing Adventures" by Tokyo Police Club i decided to make a dedication page to the song. Since i planned on making the book about Eddy and I's adventures, it was the perfect title, i had to!

The cute little title page! The picture of the lady on a horse was already there, and i just wrote over it.

This page has since been changed. It now has a picture of Eddy & I in it, and its much cuter! Maybe I'll post a picture of that one later!

This was just a page i altered talking about who the book was by, and who it was dedicated to. I just did a few cross-outs, write overs and decorations to make it say what was important.

same thing as the last page but on a different page!

Just a cute little doodle!

This is all the beginning of the book right before the first chapter happens. I will update later with the first chapter and maybe take a few more pictures from the book, it is actually coming out really well! I am so excited.
