Today's thoughts..

This guy is gonna be a dad in a month and a half.

The reason Cara married me....it's all in the hair.

Let the madness begin....


And most importantly..

Just some thoughts..

May our passion be LIFE.
"Decide what to be and go be it."- Avett Bros

After spending three days in Kansas and 12 hours in airports in Kansas and Denver, it sure felt good to come home to this lovely lady right here (and lil nashy boy). I love her most.

After seeing the movie Taken a few months ago and now Unknown tonight, I have concluded that yes, Liam Neeson is indeed the greatest fighter/assassin/ problem solver in human history.

snow....
what a morning! i woke up with the worst cold ever... i hate colds more than anything. i could barely breath my nose was so stuffy! and then i look out the window and see nothing but white! i mean im fine with snow but not right now! it should be sunny and warm, it should be spring. winter has gone on way too long!! me and brods got ready and headed to church which took us twice as long to get to because of the annoying snow! we got home and are ready to have a long lazy Sunday... those are my favorite! my outfit for today is just what i wore to church. sorry but i knew i would just be wearing sweats the rest of the day for lazy sunday! sorry you can't really see each piece of clothing, it was quite sunny!

Indian beads
I have had a very long saturday...i had to be at a competition all morning! It felt like it was for hours. I got home and now me and brods are headed to the inlaws to watch the NBA skills challenge! Of course we are watching it, my husband would never even imagine missing it!
Here is my outfit blog for the day.... this indian beaded necklace is one of my favorite pieces. It just spices up a boring outfit! i know i wear so many of the same sort of things all the time and so i know it gets kinda boring! but it's comfy and easy...it's what i love!

Valentines Surprise

i have the cutest husband and i just have to tell you what he did for me. He was out of town Valentines weekend so i was a little bummed. I think he knew that i was sad so he wanted to do something cute for me. i woke up Thursday morning to these amazing boots on my doorstep that i had been wanting so bad!! They were not in any stores so i had no idea how he got them! I was so excited! But to my surprise that wasn't all...

The next morning I was cleaning the house when the doorbell rang. I went to get the door and i looked down and there was this huge bag filled with surprises! All of my favorite treats, new socks(which i love), money for a shopping spree, and our favorite movie that we used to watch when we dated! He is so cute, but it's not done yet!
Saturday afternoon a man rang my doorbell! I opened to see a vase of beautiful RED ROSES! WOW I LOVE HIM!
Brods finally got home Sunday afternoon! I was so excited to see him!! We went immediately to my parents house for our valentines day party! When we walked in the door i saw this huge mannequin! i was so excited because this is what i have been wanting for our office! I can't decide what i want to do with it yet but i am so excited!!

On Valentines Day he took me out for my shopping spree!!
We spent all day together and it was amazing! He spoils me way too much! i couldn't ask for a better husband!!
I LOVE YOU BRODS!!
I hope everyone had an amazing Valentines Day!!

FLORAL

I know i am awful and haven't done a blog in a couple days, but i have been swamped with school. i am so ready to be done with it. I know this outfit is a little boring but it's quick and easy and that's what i need most the time. i love this shirt cause you can wear it in the winter with a jacket or in the spring because of the floral print.

A lil something something..

These words of wisdom come from the Avett Brothers and reminded me today what life is really all about...thanks again Seth Avett, Scott Avett, Bob Crawford.

"We came for salvation

We came for family

We came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away

We came to break the bad

We came to cheer the sad

We came to leave behind the world a better way"

I love you all.
-Brod


Pink

I know this outfit is a little bright for this gloomy weather but i had to brighten things up a little. I am so sick of the wet freezing weather... i am so ready for it to warm up. I have been dying to find a scarf like this forever but couldn't find the right one so I decided to get crafty and make one! What do ya think? Oh and by the way Im sorry these pictures are a little grainy, i will work on fixing it!

Cheetah

So i decided to start my outfit blogs... hopefully they don't disappoint.
CHEETAH! I am in love with any animal print. All you need is one bold animal print and you are good to go. Mix it with any simple piece and the print just pops.
I love that you can make animal prints urban or sassy.... you choose.
