Don Garlits

"Are you my mummy?" (Doctor Who reference...)

If only . . .

So over Christmas break, while I was in Florida, I had the opportunity to go to Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing. They also had an antique car building. . . which I found much more interesting. Anyways, if you ever happen to find yourself in Ocala, FL you should check out this museum--it's pretty cool!

Speaking of cool...well, not cool, but how 'bout freezing. It's been in the single digits during the day...and below zero at night here in Akron. oh. my. gosh. It's cold. Dang, it's cold. But, fleece lined tights? Y'all, those are awesome. But seriously, I miss Florida . . . and it's beautiful weather!

New Year, New Post

So yeah, I realize it's been quite awhile since I've posted anything.  It's been since last year, in fact! (and I don't even have an outfit picture, really) It's cliche, but time really has flown by. I can't believe I have to go back to school on Monday :( I did miss my house and it will be really nice going back knowing I left it clean!! And, my dad's awesome, so he's gonna stop by tomorrow and turn the heat up so it will be all nice and warm when I get there!

These pictures are from Downtown Disney when I was still in Florida. I'm home now, but coming back to below zero weather (during the day!) was really...not fun. Anyways, Downtown Disney. That's always a fun place to go! That hot air balloon looked really fun--and it was really fun to take pictures of it. Oooh! You see me and my brother trying on all the cirque du soleil masks...well, I'd just watched Worlds Away the night before! So going to their store was really cool. I'd love to see Cirque du Soleil one day! Oh, and if you have Netflix, watch Worlds Away--it's really cool!

If I remember right, this was the day before New Year's Eve... On New Year's Eve we played cards and the older kids stayed up and watched Doctor Who most of the night! Definitely a great way to start the 2014! Well, hope this new year will be amazing!

Christmas Vacation

Dress - H&M (Thrifted) // Belt - Thrifted // Tights - George // Boots - Go Jane // Socks - Target

Well, it's been a busy past few weeks! Busy, but fun. I'm actually in Florida right now visiting my Papaw :) But, like I said it's been busy. It's not like we've been going lots of places...it's just that it's a lot of work being on vacation when you're not a kid! I hope your Christmas was great--I know mine was!

So one of the funnest things I've done since getting to Florida was going out to dinner and to see a movie with my dad! I finally got to see Thor: The Dark World, which I must say I liked a lot better than the first one! Anyways, after the movie we were supposed to go to dinner...but that didn't really work out at first. Since the movie was late, we had to find a restaurant that was open even later. But, when we got to the one I picked out it was closed already. An hour early. Yeah, great. And we couldn't find any other restaurants so we were about to just settle for fast food when we finally found a restaurant that was open later. And, guess what. It was right next to the theater we had just driven away from :p So we drove all over tarnation just to end up right back at the same place! Oh well, it was still fun! And, by the way, my dad is really awesome 'cause he still makes sure to spend one-on-one time with all of his kids even though he has so many of them!

Oh...and I wore the same dress as in the pictures too! Haha. Even though the material's a bit thin, I do like it better with tights. Anyways...hope the rest of 2013 is great for y'all. Considering my posting schedule the past few weeks I'm guessing I won't get anything up until next year :p

PS I keep forgetting to say that my brother Michael's been taking most of my pictures lately 'cause my new (awesome) camera's too big for the old tripod. Thanks, Michael!

Sweater Weather

Sweater - Arizona Jeans // Skirt - GAP (Thrifted) // Tights - Merona // Boots - Thrifted

It's funny 'cause for years I hated both sweaters and dresses. And now, that's basically all I wear. Anyways, I finished all my finals and I am officially home for Christmas break! I haven't done much yet, but I did go to see Catching Fire and The Hobbit. Catching Fire was sooo much better than the first movie, but I thought the first Hobbit was better than this one. Well, I wish I could write more, but I have to go help my sister with her costume and makeup--she's in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Hope y'all have a wonderful break!

Last of the Nice Weather

So, these are definitely from awhile ago, but I still wanted to post them! This is from a hike my family (and a couple of our friends) went on about a month ago. This was right after I got my camera too. Anyways, as you can see, it was really a beautiful day and great weather for a hike!

On another note, I'm super excited that finals are almost over!!! You've no idea how much I'm ready for Christmas break! Good luck to everyone else who's powering through finals week!

Thanksgiving

So I know it's been awhile since I've posted! I've been pretty busy with finals and stuff lately. Except for the two finals I have next week, I'll be done this Friday! And Christmas break can't get here soon enough! Although I've had a few frustrating classes, I really feel like I've learned a lot this semester, and there were several classes that I actually enjoyed going to! Still, I'm gonna enjoy Christmas break. I'm actually setting up my Christmas tree later today. Well, hopefully. I started setting it up yesterday, but I got distracted with some more poster designs that are due...soon. I did, however, get my nativity set up. And I really need to take a picture of the wise men because, due to someone else packing up my Christmas decorations, some stuff broke. But, instead of gluing these poor wise men back together ...I just set them up in a way that uses said breakage to my advantage. It's pretty funny :p

Anyways, I had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and I'm so glad I was able to spend it with my crazy family! I hope all of you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Gosh, looking at these pictures is making me awfully hungry...

Oh hey! And these are the first pictures I have to post from my new camera! yay!
