5 Things {A Few Randoms & A Cruise Worthy Dress}

The fun things about this outfit:

Dress - Target uber Sale, Bracelet - Old Navy ($2), Shoes - Ross

A few randoms to share with you.

1. I know how to spell "Navy"... But every time I type it I have to correct it... 

I always type "Nave"

Lame life of a fast-typing-terrible-speller.

2. This dress makes my dream to one day go on a cruise somehow magnify by 1,000%.

Now I have something cruise-worthy to wear!

3. It saddens me that nothing in this outfit is thrifted.

Who have I become? Summer what have you done to me?

4. YES! I still do Crossfit!

5. This week is flying by much tooooo quickly...

And not quickly enough, all at the same time.

I need more of Jesus today! That is all.

1John 2:1

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. 

But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

5 Things: {My 5 Favorite Summer Outfits}

Yesterday it rained!!! 
Most people here in the northwest start praying right about now for another 2 weeks {at least} of sunshine. I, on the other hand, did a happy dance! I love every single season and seriously love when they turn into each other. So rain is a welcome friend in my book! 

And even though I look at the forecast and know that there is another 3 days this week in the upper 80's, the rain still had me thinking about the sweaters I'll soon get to wear. And about boots I haven't dusted off in a few months! So with the new, I also thought of the old. 

Since September will be here before I post again, I think it only fair to do a recap. So here are my 5 faves from this summer's wonderful tank-top season, better known as summer!

Because I really do love all these outfits, these 5 are in no particular order.

1. Little Purple Dress can be seen in This Post... And Yep, I found an occasion to wear it!
I attended a beautiful beach wedding where I was one of the only ones to wear heels!

2. Pink Pants can be seen in This Post... Yes people... This was just yesterday. 
That doesn't disqualify it from being one of my faves though, does it?

3. This lil rockin' outfit can be seen in This Post... You'll find a DIY!
That skirt, my friends, used to be a pillow case where I rested my purdy lil head.

4. Dotted Shirt can be seen in This Post... Ok people! 
I'm still excited that I made this shirt without a pattern or thought from a previous shirt.
And I may or may not be over my Cake Boss addiction.

And last but NOT least at all:

5. High-Low dress can be seen in This Post... After revisiting this post 
I now want to eat a burger...

Which reminds me of the fact I just ate the best burger for lunch yesterday.
I guess you'll have to wait to hear about that though.

2 Peter 3:8-9
But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as 
a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to 
fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not 
wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

4Days of Red, White, & Blue: #3 (5 Things)

The fun things about this outfit:
Shirt - Hand-Me-Down, Pants - Thrifted & Skinnied,
Shoes - Nordstrom (from back in the shopaholic days), Necklace - Antique Shop

June was ridiculously busy for me. There was events galore, fundraisers for high school camp, and much more...some involved tie-dying...

Because of this, I decided to make a few July goals so the entire summer doesn't pass me by before I have time to blink. I know I could add a lot of things to this list, but these are a few of the things I want to accomplish this month:

1. Read 2 short books. 

(I'm working my way through Chronicles of Narnia for the first time ever.)

2. Complete 4 DIY projects. 

(Notice I didn't say "start" because we all know we have a bin of DIY projects past that have not been finished. I missed DIYing in June!)

3. Tan it up. 

(I'm not one to spend to much time in the sun. My mom had skin cancer a while back and I am pretty aware of how long I linger in the golden rays, but I do want to have something resembling proof that the sun made a visit to the Northwest.)

4. Run once a week. 

(Sounds less than ambitious, I know. But don't forget I'm doing crossfit 4x a week.)

5. Get my passport. 

(There may be a trip in my future...I've been doing some serious procrastinating when it comes to preparation.)

P.S. My month is cut a week short because I'm taking high schoolers to camp. So I'm realizing as I write that I need to get crackin' on this stuff! Pronto!

1 Timothy 6:13-16
I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

I'm loving any sun I get these days got last week. 

I thought I'd tell you why I love summer, 

in hopes those heat rays will show their face again. 

I know it's still May but It feels like summer when the sun comes out!

5 Things I Love about Summer

1. Fresh smell of mowed grass! You know you love it, too.

2. Sundresses E're Day! - I'm a dress girl over shorts any day.

3. Frolicking - Don't judge. I take every open field opportunity I find!

4. BBQ - I love me some hamburgers and lawn chairs... Yes, you CAN invite me over!

5. Inspiration - I know it sounds silly, especially because I love rain the same as I love sun

but for some reason summer puts me in the mood for DIY & other crafty projects.

Did I miss anything? Fill me in on why you love summer?

Hebrews 13:20-21

Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,

the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 

equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us

that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, 

to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
