Happy Birthday, M!

Dress - Cocomo via Walmart // Shirt - American Heritage Girls Leader Shirt // Shoes - Maurices

You're going to see a lot of birthday posts in the next several weeks! Out of the 10 people in my family, the majority of birthdays are from May 17-June 16. And as the cake decorator of the family (well, my dad's pretty good too...but I kind of took over when he got too busy) I have, well, a lot of work to do. And 'cause the cakes are supposed to be surprises I have to do them at night when everyone else is asleep! Now that I think about it, it's funny that I remember being tired during the last several cakes I made...it's weird 'cause I'm usually very awake at night. Anyways, back to my original point. Which was... .... .... Oh yeah. My brother's birthday is today. M just turned 14 today! We adopted him from Ukraine just last fall and he fits into our family so well :) Happy Birthday to my awesome brother, M!

My brother is an active boy scout, which is awesome anyway but is more impressive when you consider that he has had to learn a lot of English over the past year and is still learning more every day! My brothers are in boy scouts and my sisters are in an organization called American Heritage Girls. Or AHG for short. That's why I'm in my awesome, oversized polo today. I think I may have said this in my About Me, but I'm too lazy to click on the link to check...anyways, I'm a Junior Leader for AHG (I can't be an official leader until I'm 21) and, although I've been a little MIA this year due to school, I went to tonight's meeting. I started helping out last year, and I was asked to be a junior leader because basically I was already helping a lot, but this way it was official...and I got this great shirt :/ As you can see, it's not really a great shirt, but I've recently found some cute ways to wear it without it looking too awful! So yeah, this isn't one of my favorite outfits, but the shirt was a necessity today, and I like the way I wore it :)

Counting down the days 'til my California trip! I leave Monday morning! Read about my first trip here! Hope y'all have a great day and thanks for reading :)

A Not So Rainy Day

Dress - Cocomo (Walmart) // Arrowhead Necklace - Skyline Caverns giftshop // Green Necklace - Thrifted // Turquoise Ring - Thrifted // Green Ring - Sky Caverns giftshop // Boots - Rocket Dog (Modcloth)

I was saving this post for a day when I had a lot to do and not a lot of time! That happens to be today. Ironically, it actually did rain today. I just wrote this post title in hopes that it wouldn't rain I guess...

It's funny 'cause I couldn't think of any other ways to style this dress when I put it on...so I almost didn't want to wear it for some reason. But, y the time I got home in the evening I'd thought of like 5 other ways to wear it. Honestly, I'm so surprised that I made it through the day without getting something on it! I'm usually a very messy person, and I was in the art building all day too! It was a Tuesday so that helped because I don't have any drawing classes that day. I can't wear any light colors Monday, Wednesday, or Friday because I have Life Drawing and that room is so full of charcoal!

So, here are some things I'm loving right now :

Song - Can't Stop by One Republic. Sorry for the weird pics in the video--it's the only full version of the song I could find.

TV Show - Well, I'm still watching Supernatural and Monk.

Movie - Stranded it's a re-imagining of Swiss Family Robinson. Plus, Andrew Lee Potts is in it.

Blog - A. Loo's Closet A Christian, stay-at-home mom with a fabulous, retro style!

Clothing - My chambray dress from JCPenney's (seen in this post).... except that the zipper just broke. Funny, now I want to wear it like every day, and it's probably just because I can't.

Oh, and before I forget. Yes, Bible reading and exercise completed!

Well, hope y'all have a wonderful day! Thanks for reading :)
