Disneyland will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world

Hello everyone!! In 12 days my Husband and I are taking a vacation to... Disneyland!! I can't wait. I love love love love Disneyland. So, while I sit in class, not paying attention, and wishing I were somewhere else, I decided to share with you what I would ideally wear on my adventure to the happiest place on earth.

Oh Disney... I just can't wait. I hope you guys are all having a great day. Even though it is monday... See you all soon!

Correction!! The Show's on Saturday! Silly Me!!

What a goof I am!!! I totally yelled out all over the internet that the show I was playing at Origin was on Friday, but I am wrong!! Everyone, for goodness sakes, I am wrong! The show with The Music Room on the 24th is a Saturday!! Dont be confused my friends! I dont know how I did that. But... if you were planning on being at Origin on Friday at 7, thats great, but there will be no show. It's on Saturday. Saturday. @7. With The Music Room. I'm opening. i'm very excited. Tell your friends and neighbors, because it's free, if you give your money, it's going to help END sex trafficing, and it's going to be super fun :)

Woah!! Hey there full face of make up! Nice Eyeliner!!

Moody Mondays: Tapestry Print!

Hello everyone!! I've decided that during my theory and therapy class on mondays, it would be a great time to post all my favorite etsy finds! Today theme is Tapestry Print stuff! It;s so fantastically 90's librarian (hot librarian of course!). Here are my favorite things thus far

1970's Boho Mini- How freaking gorgeous is this print?! Let me tell you how often I would wear this dress if it were mine: Every single day (Etsy Store: Stilleto Girl Vintage)

I love the bright colors of this bag. With a chambray button down and black skinnies... this would be perfect. Tapestry Bag: In with the Old Vintage

These glorious boots would be great with a dress and tights! Tapestry Boots- Rocky Mountain Retro

This would be the perfect addition to any outfit. Tapestry Vest- Accoustic Dreamer

 

 

How cute is all of this stuff? Etsy vintage is like being able to thrift shop for something specific, and if any of you are big on thrifting, you know how impossible that is. It's like the thrill of the dig with 100% chance of finding something great. Wow... what a productive class!

See you soon!

The Best Time To Wear a Striped Sweater is All The Time

Hi Everyone!! It's been such a long time since I've posted anything! I can't even tell you how crazy life has been since school has started, It's been a good crazy, but crazy nonetheless. Remember how I told you I've been thinking about how I've decided to change up my blog slightly? Well, today is the day ladies and gentlemen.

 I've been going to school to get a music degree that I had no idea what to do with. I still dont really, but besides learning how to hear inverted diminished 7ths, and how to conduct Mozart's Jupiter symphony, and sing a bajillion German Liters (which has been AWESOME), I've also learned about being held accountable for the gifts and oppertunities you've been given. Being held accountable- thats a heavy thought. Jessup has been a time of nothing but opportunities and open doors, and on Thursday night at the Courage To Be You concert the Lord spoke to me in a way that I was not prepared for. It wasn't an audible voice or anything (I really wouldn't be prepared for that!!) but it was sense of serious conviction that communicated these three words "You cannot stop." I knew exactly what that meant, and I couldn't help but agree... and cry (of course!).

look how humongous that water bottle is! Lordy, I must have been parched. ANYWAYS, there I am playing ages ago at Vintage Faith in Santa Cruz.

 I've decided to pick up my music again, and this time I'm serious. It's not so much about being this fantastic singer or even a songwriter, as much as it is about the message. Do people know what Jesus is all about?! If they don't, I'm gonna tell em! Actually I'm gonna sing it to them, but you know what I mean. Basically, I'm over knowing what God wants me to do, but remaining my comfort zone. That never seems to work...

 

So... Step one is getting back out there, and I am. Next Friday, I'm playing at Origin Coffee and Tea at 7pm in Rocklin CA with my old friends from Jessup (the first time around), The Music Room. I havent played a show like this in yeeeeeeeeaaarrrs. I liken this oppertunity to Valentine's day, when your door knocks, and you dont really know who it is, but you open the door only to see this gigantic teddy bear as a gift. I wasnt really sure what the Lord was saying to me, but I just said yes, and the next day Dane, from the Music Room sent me a FB message saying that their opener had cancelled and wanted to know if I wanted to open for them...When the Lord decides to do something in your life, he's not joking around. ANYWAYS!!! Now that this post has become a freaking book, here's the point, I'm playing a show with the Music Room on Friday of Next week, and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if you showed up. Here's the Info.

Light Morning Conversation

Good morning wonderful blogging community! It's almost 10:00am, so thought to kill time before my next class at 12:30, I would fill you in on how school is going.

School is going great thus far! I tend to be an extreme worrier. So the night before the first day of classes was not a very restful once for me. But alas, my day went fine. I'm in so very very very interesting classes, so I'm speaking life into this semester by saying that I think I really going to love soaking up all the info I can. I have lots of psych classes, which are going to be sooooo awesome! I also have a class at 8 in the morning that I've decided that I'm going to love: Christian Perspectives. . It wasn't what I thought it was going to be at all, and that makes me so really excited.

I've grown up in a Christian home my entire life. The little old ladies at the church I've grown up in my whole life are all like my grandmas, and my church friends growing up are more like family than friends. I've been surrounded by this type of culture my whole life, and I continue to live in that culture voluntarily, I really love beign around church, and church people. the only bummer is, I really dont hear a lot of other worldviews, and thats why I'm so excited about this class.

The couple behind me was like on a weird first date or something. Their flirtatiousness was really uncomfortable. Oh Starbucks. I'll bet the employees witness lot's of strange dates! Also, I really wish I knew what my bangs were doing. They really need a trim.

Christians should be thinkers and learners, and they should know, like really know our world. But do we? Do I? After just two days of Christians Perspective, it's pretty clear that I didn't know nearly as much as I thought I did. How can I be all things to all people, when I only know the people who are like me? How can make disciples of all nations, when i'm a disciple of just my own? I'm really excited about this year. I'm going to be made uncomfortable, and I'm going to have my feelings hurt (I tend to take everything personally, it's one of my bajillion flaws), but I'm going to stretched and grown so much, and it's going to happen between 8:00 and 9:30 AM every monday and wednesday!!! I can't wait,

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking

So these past few weeks I haven't really posted much on my blog. However! It's not that I haven't been thinking about it, or that I've just let myself go and I don't care about clothes or fashion or any of that stuff, I just kind of feel like my blog is a little bit... directionless. Maybe it's like a quarter-life crisis or something, but I've really been feeling the vanity of this blog. I mean lets think about this: I spend more time worrying about what I'm gonna wear than I do in my Bible. Somethings weird about that right? I mean, I'll give a little spiritual blurb every once in a great while, but for the most part, I'm really just praising my own name.

So... Does this mean I'm gonna "repent" and leave my blog? No. That actually wasn't even a thought in my mind. But I do feel like I should take this blog in a new direction. I'll talk about about clothes still... don't be mistaken. I. Love. Clothes. But I don't think I'll ONLY talking about clothes. I'm not exactly sure how I'm gonna execute this new direction, but blog entries won't be every single day (they haven't been for a while), and you'll see a whole lot more pictures of other people and places and animals (of course animals!!). Posts will be a lot longer I think, and subject matter will be more than just about my thrifting adventures, and my aversion to anything brand-new. I'll talk a lot more about being newly(ish) married, my husband adventure's in Tattooing and Rockstar-dom, my last year of college and being in the music department at WJU (thats right I am in fact GRADUATING!), my growing and changing family, and more/most importantly, the Lord.

So... thats about it for me today. I know, no pictures, kind of a weird post, but I thought you all oughta know what I'm thinking about. Let me know what you're thoughts are on this... I'm excited about this, and I think it'll be a good thing :) see you soon!

An industrious sinner I much prefer to a lazy saint

Hi Everyone!! It's finally Saturday! I've been pretty busy these past few days getting things ready for school. It's been nuts I tell ya! I dont even have any of my books yet! I dont know what the heck I'm gonna do, books are expensive! Oh well, it'll work out.

Anyways enough about that, on to weekend fun times! Nathan has a tattoo appointment today so we are in Stockton. We haven't been to our hometown in such a long time it feels, so while Stockton may not be the funnest or most glamourous town, it sure is good to see family. My brothers are together this weekend in San Diego, I wish I were there with them.

ANYWAYS! This is what I decided to wear today. When my mom greeted me at my parents' house, she said I looked like I was going to prom. The last time I wore this dress, people were so complementary, I actually think it's pretty plain and kind of boring, but whatevs! It's a whole outfit in one peice. thats what kind of travel dressing I like.

 Chico thinks he's some kind of wild animal.

 Today is a lazy day, just ask our little buddy oscar. Have you ever seen a dog with a sweeter face? His personality is just as sweet. You'll never meet a better dog than Oscar.

Well everyone, enjoy your Saturday. I think I'm gonna just lay around and have lazy last weekend of Summer. If you're returning to school next week, I encourage you to do the same. See you soon!
