day 13...

so...in honor of valentine's day, i figured i would tell you about my valentine. i met carl in march of 2008 when he came to the bcm (baptist collegiate ministry) to play with our band. he was cute and the new guy. of course, most of the single girls began to swoon since there was some new testosterone in the place. we introduced ourselves and probably 5 minutes later he couldn't remember my name. jerk face. anyway, he continued to come to bcm and the more he was around, the more i liked him. i guess it was just a little crush. he was cute, a musician, funny, and he loved Jesus. i really, really didn't want to like him. so i told myself he was a dumb boy and that was that. except it wasn't. because every thursday he was still cute and funny. my little crush did go away for a while, but december changed that. i hadn't seen him in a while since bcm takes a break between semesters. he sent me a message on facebook and the rest is history. we started dating on january 23, 2009 and got married january 23, 2010. when i look back, i'm amazed at how God brought us together. carl is my best friend. i love being his wife and having him around all the time. i love waking up to him in the morning. we joke and act silly and watch "The Office" together. he makes me laugh until my belly hurts. i love him more than anything. he's my bun. i'm excited this is forever. and thankful. forever and ever amen. i'll be back later with today's picture! here's some pictures to hold you over til then...

day 12...

snow day! i'm loving today. i woke up this morning, looked out the window, and the ground was covered. i had to drag carl out of bed around 8. then we stepped outside for a little fun in the snow. i'm glad we got up when we did, because now its starting to melt. :( it was fun while it lasted i guess. and it gave me a 4 day weekend! thank you snow!

day 11...

do i really live in louisiana? its snowing! and it has been all day! i got ready for work this morning like always. my husband walked me to the door like always. and what do you know? i turn around and there it was. falling, white greatness. i was excited. carl didn't seem to be as thrilled. probably because it brought back terrible memories of 3 weeks ago when we almost died trying to get home from our honey moon. we had to drive in several inches of snow. it was icy and cold and wet and terrifying. since we come from louisiana, we never really see much snow. driving in it was new and very distressing. anyway, my main reason for being so excited was the fact that i might not have to work tomorrow. oh, the perks of being a pre-school teacher...and it turns out that i don't have to work tomorrow! school is cancelled! this means i have a 4 day weekend! i'm very excited about this. the only sad thing is that it really doesn't want to stick. it sticks in some parts, but the temp is still a tad above freezing. if it was cold enough, we would probably have several inches by now. i'm pretty sure this is the longest post i've made so far, but its just been a glorious day...

hound's tooth jacket...belk (this was in a bag for goodwill...i'm so glad i changed my mind!)

wide leg jeans...beth's closet (originally old navy)

bow headband...forever 21 (sorry you can't really see it. accessories don't show up very well)

tonight the husband and i are heading to his parents house for dinner and to make some returns. we have their card table, suitcase, lap top, and some tupper ware. i'll be glad to give these things back and make more room for our junk! oh, and for kicks and giggles...

my husband. i love him more than anything or anyone else. he's my favorite. this his "jim" face.

day 10...

happy wednesday! today was long and exhausting and some what frustrating. i really enjoy my job and the kids i have in my class, but some days it feels like too much. just about anything that could happen today did. i'm glad to be at home, sitting on my couch, and watching the british version of "The Office" with my husband. although, the british version kind of stinks. has anybody else watched some of it? what are your thoughts? anyway...today's picture...

dress...beth's closet (originally old navy)

plum tights...kohl's (vera wang again...greatness!)

boots...target

bangles...forever 21 (sorry you can't really see them!)

as i exited my home to head to work, i grabbed my pink pea coat and a mustard scarf. the scarf looked cute since some of my bangles were yellow, but the coat? terrible choice. i looked like a hot mess until i got to work and took it off. i then remembered that my tan pea coat is still at my parent's house. sad day. anyway, i hope all of you had a great day and felt so cute! :)

day 9 again...

so...i figured i would update since some new fun clothes have come into my world. my good friend and neighbor, beth, has great taste. her outfits are so fun and inspiring. we like to borrow each others clothes and trade/take some pieces. its very fun to live so close to such a good friend. we have wonderful conversations and i'm blessed to have her literally 30 seconds away. anyway...today she brought me some lunch and came to visit since i wasn't feeling well. she decided to clean out her closet and get rid of some things. :) its like going shopping for free! i love it! i came home with some really fun things that i can't wait to work into my wardrobe.

on another note, i am feeling much better. it actually didn't take me long to feel better either. i rested on the couch for a bit and turned on "The Office". i got a little bored so decided to pick up around our little home. picking up turned into full blown cleaning. i might regret it later, but right now i still feel ok. i'm going to start dinner soon because i'm sure that hubby of mine will be hungry when he gets home from work. hope everyone has had a good day! i'll be back tomorrow with day 10!

day 9...

today's outfit only lasted about 2 hours. i got sick at work and had to come home. hopefully i can get to feeling better so this time can be used productively. i have so much to do and since i'm not at work, it would be nice to do something. although, if today is spent in bed, or on the couch watching "The Office", i guess that's ok too...

white button up...forever 21

i'm pretty sure the rest of the outfit is repeats. maybe tomorrow i'll get more creative. :)

day 8...

monday. today is not terrible, just monday. i had to pay our electric bill today. we can mail it in, but since we just changed our account, we don't have checks yet. i pay with cash. and where do i go to pay this bill? the liquor store. that's right. thrifty liquor. i instantly felt cute walking in. i think i was the only one there with all of my teeth...including employees. i hope this is not offensive to anyone. anyway, here's today's...

teal cardigan...old navy (on sale for 4 big ones!)

mustard top...banana republic

skinnies...old navy (i own 2 pairs from ON and love them both!)

gray scarf...forever 21

leather flats...target

rose bud headband...francesca's

tonight the hubby and i are having dinner with my parental units. this means that i will come home with more of my stuff and things my mother doesn't want anymore.

later!
