I\u2019m usually the one behind the camera, so it was hard to round up photos of me for this page. I had to raid my mom\u2019s Facebook posts (thanks mom!). \u00a0I like the end result though, because these photos capture me at my happiest moments; hanging with family and playing with my kiddos.<\/p>\n

\"MistyCato-4for4-walkthroughthewoods\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everyday the kids and I walk 1\/2 of a mile through a beautiful, wooded trail to their elementary school. \u00a0I love watching the forest change with the seasons. \u00a0These photos were all taken at approximately the same location in summer, winter, spring and summer.<\/p>\n

\"MistyCato-4for4-booklist\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few of the books I\u2019ve read over the past year that have \u2018stuck\u2019 with me for one reason or another.<\/p>\n

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry <\/a>by Gabrielle Zevin – A.J. Fikry is a pompous, cynical, closed-off, lonely bookseller, old at the age of 39, and I adored him from chapter one. I love books devoted to books and the people who love them, so The Storied Life and I were a match from the start.<\/p>\n

State of Wonder<\/a> by Ann Patchett \u2013 Adventure, exotic location, science, love and ethics all collide to create an enthralling, thought-provoking tale.<\/p>\n

Serena <\/a>by Ron Rash – In a thriving Depression Era timber camp, Pemberton and his new bride Serena rule the land. This is the slash and burn days of timber operations, and a callous disregard for all things living permeates their story. The land, animals, people and law all fall victim to Serena’s lust for dominance. I was captivated by the storytelling, intrigued by the characters (as unlikeable as they are) and still find myself mulling over the issues and themes evoked in the story.<\/p>\n

Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend<\/a> by Matthew Dicks \u2013 The narrator of this tale is the imaginary friend of a boy on the spectrum. \u00a0I love the characters and their touching story.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to check back in with us next Friday and every Friday after that as we put the rest of our incredible designers into the spotlight. Each of them have such quirky personalities that I\u2019m positive each week will bring new surprises and special treats that we can\u2019t wait to share with you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
