Blog Crawl: My Life As A {Spell} Book...
Thanks to pretty Blair
for sending you to Aspiring Kennedy.
chose to kick her piece off with a nod to Twlight.
My excitement came
partially because I love Twilight.
However, it was mainly due
to the fact that I had chosen to base MY post
around a certain series
that is near & dear to my heart:
Harry Potter!
My Life Is An Open {Spell} Book
The Setting:
Hogwarts, of course.
Well no, not actually Hogwarts-
but perhaps the closest place we can get in the Muggle world:
Oxford, England!
My husband is a student at Oxford,
and it’s a different world here.
We have dining halls,
ancient libraries,
and all the ancient spook factor
one HP fan could hope for.
Oxford is missing the flying brooms & dragons,
but I’m still have my hopes up
they'll both turn up soon.
The Characters:
Tyler:
My Harry Potter.
The Chosen One.
He was the only wizard that could really put the love spell on me.

Me, Lauren:
Hermione Granger
I'm a booky-but-sensitive-know-it-all
with uncontrollable hair
{that is looking better as I get older}.
I also look smashing in Burberry
(just like Emma Watson).
My family:
The Weasleys.
The whole gaggle of us.
I love them all-
and we have a rampant case
of red hair running through my nephews & nieces
which obviously only makes them more endearing.

My friends:
Dumbledore's Army.
Those in the magic world of blogging,
and the muggle world ... non-bloggers.
Some that hang near & dear are
Beth of Hello Splendor, Laura of Something Legit, Kellee of If the Shoe Fits, Grant of Cashmere Cowboy, Jenny of Thompson Tales, Kelly of Fab K, Heather at Social Thread, and Victoria of Victoria Wall Photography.

The Plot:
Newly arriving from the backgrounds that shaped us,
Tyler & I are in the process of
getting educated in a new magical world.
We love England,
and are daily enchanted
with the small nuances of everyday life.
Things like
“white” tea,
bicycle commutes,
and mid-morning rain
are constantly bewitching us.
The Twist:
Like every good book should,
{in my opinion}
our story carries
a theme of love
through it’s entirety.
The relationships with our families & friends
are of epic proportion.
Has any other couple ever felt so rich in love?
We hope so.
While many may doubt
if the love
Tyler & I have together
can be so real-
the answer is YES!
Our hope is
that above all the tricks & titles
life may pass our way…
we will share the love
that has been given freely to us
with others.

Emily is one classy girl...

it might be leatherbound.
