My room is filled with things from my travels, others' travels, family gifts, notes, things passed down, and old and new books. I mean come on, I love photographs, I am kind of ridiculous. At one point I will even explain how I am about the things I wear. I could write an entire blog* on it.
I am on the verge of being a sentimental fool. Maybe I am just in denial of being a full blown fool, but I am on my way right?
Exhibit A:
Wooden African heads: Bought in Africa from my great grandparents in WWII.Top book: Stories of The Great Operas, this copy published in 1961.
Second book from the top: Daddy-Long Legs by Jean Webster. Great book, this copy published in 1912.
Third book from top: Island In The Stream by Ernest Hemingway. He is old, islands make me think of my dad, and it was published in 1970. Have yet to read it, but I really want to.
Forth book from the top: The Adventures of Robin Hood. its not even old, but I saw it at DI and since Ed and I saw the movie together I bought it.
The bouquet of lavender: Trent and Sheena's wedding. They mean a lot to me, and it was a funny memory too. Being
the only single girl at the wedding, I was forced to catch it. I mean that quite literally. I hate the
bouquet toss. Trent knew it. And they waited for me until I emerged from my hiding spot,
with hopes they moved on from the toss. Then they had me stand there, alone, as I caught the
bouquet
*Funny how when we thought we could write a lot about something we used to say, "I could write a book on it", now we say "I could have an entire blog about that".

I would say there are times that you are a sentimental fool, but overall your just a romantic. That's what makes you Amy Jo, and that's partly why everyone loves you so much!
What cool antique objects! And even cooler that you've collected some of your own from so many different countries. Jealous.
Also LOVE bre's pictures. You continue to capture such amazing moments.
standing alone at a bouquet toss? one of my worst nightmares. i am so sorry! at least it was a beautiful bouquet right??
the wooden statues? AMAZING! you were meant to be passionate about africa.
i like you all sentimental and stuff. i'm pretty sure that's one of the many reasons we're friends. we get the sentimental/romantic stuff. i just like to call myself passionate.
Amy, I would never call you a fool! I would agree with you being a Romantic and find deep meaning in simple things!
I am glad that we share some passions and that Grandma's statues would mean so much to you... and Me and Ernest would have been exploring Bud's! ;-)
I Love you!
Dad
