What are you reading?

Before we celebrated our 1st anniversary over the weekend, my sweetheart and I agreed to bring something we have read that helped us to better identify what we did not want in a relationship. Interestingly, we both brought the same book (featured above).

We wept together, bonding more closely with each other, because we both see that it was no mystery how we came to find each other: Both of us consciously made informed choices about each other.

We highly recommend this book.

"Reporting on a range of historical and contemporary female builders and designers, this educational book strives to inspire a new generation of girls in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and math. With many of the profiles set against the backdrop of such landmark events as the women's suffrage and civil rights movements and the Industrial Revolution, and with original interviews from a number of current architects and engineers, this book provides inspiration and advice directly to young women by highlighting positive examples of how a strong work ethic, perseverance, and creativity can overcome life's obstacles. Each profile focuses on the strengths, passions, and interests each woman had growing up; where those traits took them; and what they achieved.

History and architecture.....two of my favorite things. Very engaging and informative thus far.
