Resurrection Day - What I Wore

Hey ya'll!

I has been quite the week recovering from the time change.  Even though my Dad said going from West Coast time to East Coast time is easier, I beg to differ! Needless to say I have been doing a ton of sleeping :) I have also been processing pictures, it was sooooo beautiful out there! I took over 1,000 pictures and have successfully narrowed it down to 300 ish:) So glad to have the sync tool in Lightroom, even though I'm still not happy about the monthly fee to use the latest version grrrrr.....

Anywho I thought I's share what I wore on Resurrection Day with ya'll.  I'm so glad I was able to take pictures outside!

 I LOVE this dress.  I got it on clearance at Marshals in Annapolis way back in winter and I was finally able to pull it out for spring! When I first bought it I was planning on taking it up so it was even all the way around, but I finally succumbed to this trend :)

I also love these vintage heels! I have had them for quite sometime, but I don't wear them as often as I would like.  Usually I'm in comfy flats :)

Besides having a mini photoshoot, I ate a ton of food, not so good for the diet, but sometimes a girls gotta eat unhealthy food! I had my lasagna with my parents earlier (A.K.A the best lasagna EVER!), then I popped over to their house where there was more amazing food, an egg hunt, and we watched part of "Captain America".

I was planning on summarizing the sermon from Sunday, however my notes have disappeared.  Part of the hazard when the sermon is on two bible verses and my CDO (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in alphabetical order :)) can't handle that so I write them out.  I will however leave you with this quote from the sermon.  "If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead." -Timothy Keller

What did ya'll do for Resurrection Day?

Greetings from Lake Tahoe!

Hey ya'll! 

I am in Lake Tahoe this week, spending time with friends! It is so incredibly beautiful out here!!  The rugged manly mountains of the West Coast coupled with the intense blue waters of Lake Tahoe is just majestic. The scenery here is just another reminder of how He spoke this glorious landscape into existence!! I am hoping to have another post up this week, however in the meantime enjoy this picture.  

Adventures in NC!

Hey ya'll I'm so excited to share some of the adventures I had in NC a few weekends ago! I wanted to share a couple of the outfits I wore on the trip.  I really purposed to stretch my wardrobe on this trip and not pack extra because I knew I was bringing an extra bag for all my workout stuff :)

The first outfit I absolutely love! I got the pants as a Christmas present AKA my Mom and I went shopping after Christmas and this is what I chose lol.  On a side note I love this now tradition because of all the sales!!! Anywho I do love this outfit because it pushes me out of my comfort zone when it comes to color.  I never thought I'd wear greenish blueish pants (If anyone has a good name for the color feel free to share!) with a blue poke-a-dot scarf. However when I was trying on clothes to pack I loved the combination! As for the rest of the outfit the shirt I got at drum roll please..... Cracker Barrel NO JOKE! It was on super clearance, I got it for $4 and the detail in the lace is amazing!!! I was not even going to look at the section, but my Mom wanted to so I'm glad I looked! The jacket I've had for years and it Banana Republic, thrifted of course! My friend and I wore matching jackets this day on accident, I should have gotten a picture! I also wore a belt and a tan cardigan with this outfit but you can't see them in the picture.  

In the second outfit I couldn't wait to wear a skirt! my shorter skirts have been in hibernation wayyyy to long!!! The skirt is Ann Taylor via thrift store in Atlanta specifically.  On another side note it is one of my all time favorite thrift, technically consignment stores to visit! I can always find good quality modest skirts there.  Something that does not happen up here as often sadly.   Ok so back to the outfit! The shirt is from Gap, which I got using a gift card, and the shoes are from the previous outfit (pay less a few years ago).  I was very proud of myself for only packing a couple pairs of shoes, it definitely saved space!! Also I only brought the one purse for the weekend which was also a pat on the back for myself! It's Ralph Lauren via Marshals.  

My time in NC was awesome as per usual :) Besides the breathtaking views the fellowship is always fantabulous (yep it's a word because I said so :p) They gave me really great council, which I needed.  It still surprises me how you can hear the same message over and over again, but not really hear it ya know? I know I had to be brought to the place I was to let their council sink in. Pretty amazing. On a lighter note it was also fun exploring different areas and shopping of course! It was, however super windy which made it colder for a time.  The coffee and "quality" tart made it much better! It did eventually warm up as you can tell by my outfit choice!

Well I have a cat who has been dying for some attention so I better give into her needs otherwise she will never leave me alone! I also want to get a few things done before the premiere of "19 Kids and Counting" tonight!! Do ya'll watch any shows you purpose to sit down to watch?
