Awful/Awesome


This past week:

Awful: 
-Not being able to sleep when Ryan was out of town. I'm such a baby. 
-Ryan's car is dead. This probably means that we'll reserve the money we have saved up for a trip for a new car instead.
-Cockroaches  
-Washing my undies in the sink because I forgot to do laundry 

Awesome: 
-Tip money! 
-We had a "service auction" for church (an auction used with points rather than money) and the thing I offered, a free family photo shoot, got some pretty high bids! I wasn't there, because I totally forgot about it, but it's nice to hear that a lot of people want a photo shoot from me. Perhaps this will be a great business opportunity to get more clients. 
-Speaking of family photo shoots, I've got photos of a cute little family to edit :) 
-Going to a wedding reception where hats and gloves were encouraged 


dress & belt: thrifted, shoes: Payless



This dress happens to be one of those dresses that you might be unsure of at first, but then when you try it on, it's magic. Never underestimate an article of clothing you've never tried on.

  2. I LOVE this dress. really cute! and perfect for summer. Now I am sitting at work feeling frumpy. hehe.

    I'm sorry to hear about the car! That's a bummer, but hopefully getting a new one will be more fun than stressful. And then sometime next year you can take that new car on a little drive out to Monterey and come stay with us! Great idea! I actually took my car in this week for what I thought would be a quick tire rotation and oil change for $100, and walked out with a $1200 bill for new belts, new shocks, new filters, and 4 brand spanking new tires. It was ridiculous. Me and my wallet are still hurting :( So I know how that goes!

    & did you take photos of this elegant hats/gloves wedding? I hope so!

  4. Love that dress its so pretty! Reds usually not my face color but you make me want to wear red! How lucky you got to go to such a fun fancy wedding! And that sucks about your car. We don't have the money to go on any trips this year either. I'm a little bummed.
