We like to read.

Rob found two great articles this week in The Curator, a web magazine published by the International Arts Movement.

We met the Wilkinsons at Rob and Liz's wedding in St. Thomas. We hit it off immediately and had a very long, very delicious breakfast with them one morning and talked about New York and Texas, Todd's job as a movie location manager and Alissa's journey as a writer, young marriage, art, God, the church, and food. It was a treat to read Alissa's article on kitchens. I'm loving my first "real" kitchen and am excited to grow into bigger ones in the years to come.

This article is by artist Makoto Fujimora. He's an abstract painter that uses themes of the Bible as his inspiration. Rob introduced me to his work when we started dating - maybe one day we'll get to own an original piece. His article here is about "the art of marriage" and the new movie (the Warmaths saw this week), Julie and Julia. It has interesting things to say about the beauty in the "mundane-ness" of healthy marriages.

Just two of the many articles the Hays enjoy each week. Hope y'all will, too.

Thanks for the recipes, girls, and thanks for going home and putting T out of his misery, Ames. :)
