Happiness is here.
I now own a Canon Rebel T2i camera, and it is truly humbling me. I feel like it’s this huge gift and responsibility I’ve been entrusted with… I have no idea how to best do that. There’s a deep desire within me to be a good steward of this camera. To use it well, for good, to be generous and loving with how I use this gift. But first, I need to learn how to use it.
Well, actually, the strap was nekkie. So to procrastinate learning how to properly work my camera, I decided to make it pretty instead. That is just so me, isn’t it? Doing the least-necessary pretty little thing first. It’s my life M.O. Guess I need to learn how to make dishes and laundry pretty. Then maybe I’ll do them (apartment is a major disaster zone after being sick all week).
Also note: if your name is Stephanie and you’re my sister-in-law, a version of this might be coming your way for Christmas. Just sayin’. Only yours will be better because it won’t be the first one I’ve made 😛
Update: Post edited because I still have a cold and I was up early and apparently can’t function properly. Sheesh.
Gooooooooooooood Monday morning, dears! I hope you’re having a wonderful start to the week. All this sunshine (and time with the boy) has put me in a fantastic mood, and I am so ready for all of the good things I am expecting May to hold. It’s going to be a busy month, but it’s one of my favorites and I am hoping that it will be blessed.
It’s springtime. It’s almost wonderful summer….and it seems so romantic, doesn’t it? The miracle of spring just fills my heart to overflowing with a longing for love.
So let me be honest for a minute. Let me be real: My boyfriend and I haven’t said “I love you” yet. It’s been 9 months, but we’ve made a conscious decision not to say it until…well, until we are ready to abide by all that loving someone means. The Bible has a pretty sobering description of love:
Ok, so this outfit has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Royal Wedding. But the Wedding is tomorrow and I’m excited.
WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! I just realized this outfit does have something to do with the wedding! Hunter Wellies are the wellies of the Queen of England…so says the royal seal on the inside!
Anyway, on that note, I think it’s time I go to bed. See you in the morning, Queen Mother, Prince William, and Kate! Can’t wait to see that gown!
P.S. –> The tornado devastation in the Southern states is heartbreaking. Prayers!
Ok, so I’m obviously way late to the game with this one, but I just realized Bethany Dillon (who was one of my favorites back when I was 15) wed Shane Bernard of Shane & Shane a couple years back. How did I not know this?!
And then I stumbled across this wedding video of theirs, and it is just seriously the sweetest and happiest thing and it made me tear up (I’m such a mush pie). And if you already knew this, just reminisce, remark on how darn cute it is, and then laugh at how I just realized this.
Update: They also have a kid. I’m super-way behind.
Look! See:
That’s my Easter basket from my sweet boyfriend: Reese’s and Lara Bars. Boy knows me well.
And my bestest friend pointed out that I wore the exact same blouse last Easter in a similar outfit:
Easter really does make me SUPER happy 😀 Jesus, pretty outfits, my favorite colors, chocolate, and a froufy Easter basket: I’m so there. {Psssst….can you imagine my boyfriend buying this Easter basket where he WORKS? Awwww. He must really like me :-P)
