My favorite...

Fall...

...it's almost here, right?

Well, maybe not technically, but when school starts back...I'm always gearing up for fall weather. And that means FALL outfits.

Here are my latest outfit inspirations from Pinterest (where else?).

As you can see, there's a definite theme of skinnies. What I loved most about all these pins is that I have those pieces in my closet already. On the list to get for the fall: RED SKINNIES.

Umm...in love with the above combination.

I'm sure you've all seen the necklace above. J.crew has made these necklaces all the RAGE. My birthday is in 2 weeks and I believe I'm getting a couple! So pumped to see what colors the giver has chosen!



Wedding Wednesday

I'm back!! Maybe? haha I know I haven't blogged in a good almost THREE months, but this summer has been a whirlwind. If it's any indication of the 8 months to come...time is going to fly by. I promise to try to get back into the regular habit of blogging again.

So, without further ado, a Wedding Wednesday post. This list is something that I think will be more than applicable not only in my married life, but in my dating/engaged life up until the wedding.

1. Marriage is made up of two good forgivers. Because every marriage is made up of two sinners. (Romans 3:23)

2. At some point, you will have to learn that life isn’t all about you. (Philippians 2:3)


3. Don’t listen to women that tell you that passion fades…it doesn’t have to! (um…all of Song of Solomon)


4. Don’t give up. Love never fails. (1 Cor. 13)


5. He wants a kind wife, not a maid or another mother. Be nice. (Galatians 5:22-23)


6. Give your husband the gift of your respect. He needs it more than you know. (Ephesians 5:33)


7. Be mindful of your expectations.


8. Honor the Lord above all things. Colossians 3: 17


9. Find your worth and security in the Lord, and don’t look to your husband to meet all of your needs.


10. Be very careful about reading romance novels, they set you up for an unrealistic view of romance.


11. Real romance is finding that one spot in the crook of his arm to snuggle into, that shared look over the dinner table when the kids are acting crazy, and the way he fixes the leaky sink when he is dog-tired after work.


12. Love is about relationship. The more I love my husband, and seek a relationship with him, the less critical and duty-bound I become. It is similar to my relationship with God.


13. Be thankful for the husband you have. Accept him as he is, not for what you want him to be.


14. Don’t compare!! Don’t buy into the game of comparing him with anyone else’s husband.


15.The Biblically “normal” marriage is filled with joy, connection, laughter, and peace. It’s not free of hurt feelings and conflict, but they know how to process their pain with one another so that they live more often in a meadow than at the scene of a train wreck. This is not the average marriage, but it normal – -because it is a visible display of Jesus’ relationship with His bride (Ephesians 5:22-33).


16. Your marriage is a testimony! “The #1 evangelistic tool in America (the world) today is a successful marriage, because it’s a living miracle!” – Dr. Joe Aldrich, former president of Multnomah Bible College.


17. Pray for your marriage. Pray hard.


18.I’ve heard that is gets better with age.


19. Where there is God, there is always hope. Even for the most broken marriages. “With God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)


20.Marriage is commitment and sacrifice. But it’s also the best, most wild ride you will ever have with your best friend.

Tuning in on Tuesday

In honor of the finale week of American Idol...

Sorry I haven't been much of a blogger later. I promise I just need a teensy break.

Tuning in on Tuesday

Cause who doesn't need some Nelly on a Tuesday?

Currently

Listening...Marsha eat and Amanda make phone calls

Eating...absolutely nothing. I just finished a microwaveable stuffed crust pepperoni pizza from Digorno.
Drinking...a coca cola classic. I've really got to give it up. Again.
Wearing...dark skinnies, 3/4 sleeved owl baseball top, green sandals
Feeling...pretty anxious and stressed about the week. My cousin, Haley, is getting married on Saturday, but the festivities start on Wednesday evening. As the maid of honor, I've got a lot to get done.

Weather...it's pretty blah looking outside. I figure it could probably rain at any moment.

Needing...absolutely nothing. I'm so content right now.
Wanting...some wild colored wedges.

Thinking...about and looking forward to my relaxing evening with my love tonight.
Enjoying...this coca cola that I shouldn't be drinking. Oh well! I've got a whole year to get skinny...right?

Tuning in on Tuesday

This has always been one of my favorite songs.

It's also a mantra I need to keep repeating to myself over and over and over again lately.

I've always been a worrier, but it seems to be getting the best of me lately.
