Tell Him You Liked His Article In The NEWSPAPER!!

Hi Everyone! How is your Monday going? I hope it’s going well. I have turned in my millionth form for financial aid. I’m really hoping this is my last one. Have you ever had to deal with financial aid for college? It can get pretty crazy as far as paperwork, and numbers, and tax forms. The word “tedious” is barely scratching the surface. However, I have to say this: my financial aid advisor was really sweet and helpful the entire time, and I’ve learned a very valuable lesson; NEVER DO YOUR OWN TAXES!! It pays to take your paperwork to a professional. And I also learned this: if the Lord wants you to be somewhere, there will always be opposition, the road is always up hill in some way. But the Lord is so much smarter than us, and so much bigger than our problems. And it’s easy to say this now, but even if things hadn’t worked out for this semester, that would have meant that the Lord had something else for. But let me tell you, I’m really glad that the Lord has me at Jessup. I love my school! I would be so sad if I wasn’t going back there.

ANYWAYS! Enough about business! This is what I decided to wear today. How relaxing is this skirt to your eyes? Doesn’t it make you think of someplace beautiful and tropical? I don’t know, that’s how I view it. I plan on finding a way to make it work into the fall, for some reason I think short brown motorcycle and/or cowboy boots will look cute. We shall see, Freestyle never lets be down for boots. You should see my collectionJ

Well that’s about it for me. My husband is off at a meeting with Kingdom, so I’m basically waiting for him to text me so I can go pick him up. Guess I’ll just have to hang out at Starbucks until then… darn. See you soon!

nothing is certain but death and taxes

Hi Everyone! Happy Tuesday to you all. I hope you’re week is going well thus far. Mine was good... until I had to re-do my taxes!! Do you know how confusing the 1040-X form is?! Good grief it is seriously the worst! I just found out that I have to completely re-do my taxes because of a discrepancy of $12... Good grief. It makes my brain just melt... not. fun.

Anyways! Now for happy news!!! Nathan and I went to Stockton because he had a tattoo appointment, so naturally my mom and I went to go run errands! There’s a great thrift store is Stockton called Superior thrift. I’ve mentioned it before. The Name suits this place perfectly. I never ever leave empty handed. I find my greatest stuff at Superior. And this trip with my mom was no different.

This is what I decided to wear today. Just a few of my finds from yesterday. I feel like the wide stripes and the shape of this dress are right on trend for the summer. I’ve got to find a way to style this so its suitable for the Fall. Same with all the midi-skirts that I’ve collected this summer. Anyways! This dress could not be a more simple outfit to style. The stripes are busy enough that you really don’t have to do much. Minimalism. I like that.

 I just really love everything about this dress. It was one of those things that you see on the hanger and think "I wonder...". I love when that thought pops into my brain. It's my favorite part of the thrift store.

 These clog sandals were such a steal!! I was so thrilled to see them in the shoe bin, I almost let out a little squeal! Only $6 for shoes I'll own for the rest of my life. Not a bad deal.

Well, that’s about it for me. I have to get to working on my financial aid.  It’s very frustrating. But when you go to a private Christian school, and you’re newly married, you pretty jump through any hoop to afford it! So… that’s gonna be my day, Boo. Well… I hope you all have a much more fun day me! See you soon!
