Perspevctives

 This past semester Kimberly and I have been taking a course called "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement" and it's been super fun! Tuesday was the last night and we celebrated with a night of bring your family and a cutural dish! We brought a dish from Nicaragua (where Edwin our brother-in-law is from) and dressed up...cause that what we do! :) 

Now on to what we are wearing...

TaMera's dress is from Mexico that we brought at a thrift store and her bag is from Nicaragua.

Kimberly's is Samantha's that she got in Ecuador.

Mom is wearing a dress that Edwin gave her for Christmas a few years back.

And I'm wearing a dress from Mexico that we found at a thrift store. It's now one of my favorites, so easy to wear, comfortable and cute! 

 

Have you dressed up for anything special?

Tomorrow May Bring Blueberries

Okay, not tomorrow but in the coming months! I planted a blueberry shrub on Saturday...it's more of a plant right now though. :)

We are planting two new things this year, one obviously being blueberries and the other strawberries. I'm excited and a little nervous...

We'll see how they turn out!

Update 9/8/2014: My blueberry plant died. :( But the strawberries are doing fine! 

Bridesmaid Dress Refashion

 

TaMera found this orange bridesmaid dress at a second hand shop in Alabama. She fell in love with it, orange is her favorite color! Just a little change...

 

A timeless dress, easy to dress up or down by changing the shirt underneath! The change was simply making it into tea length dress. Kimberly did the cutting and I did the minimal hemming that had to be done.

Clouds come floating

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
― Rabindranath Tagore

Spring, Storms and Snow

 Last Saturday a huge storm rolled in. Now I love rain, opening the porch windows to hear the rain falling on the shed's tin roof and the sound of thunder. I love it!...as long as I'm in the comfort of my home. ;)

But this storm was different.

Saturday it was hot like in the 80s hot and by Sunday night it was SNOWWINGGGG!!! We litteraly had four seasons in three days! My tweet says it all...

If you were wondering, TaMera took the pictures (I was driving). I might make her into a photographer yet! haha
