amazon.

it's official. i'm going to the amazon with my church. from nov. 20-29th, me and 30 of my closest friends are flying into brazil and then heading down the amazon river for 24 hours on this boat and then serving in different villages.
i've been praying for this trip for almost 1.5 years now and am super excited that it is finally going to happen. i need prayers for a safe trip but also right now as we are leading up to it please pray for open hearts for those going and those we are going to speak with. pray that each member raise the $3000 required to go. pray that i can handle getting a billizon shots. pray that we connect as a group and are clean from any sins or distractions that may prevent us from giving 100%. thanks for your prayers and support.

more to come about the amazon adventures....

window shopping.

cute ruffle shirt that is good for work, church, and for summer nights!

a modest swimsuit for amazon.

a mary jane that would take me right into fall and winter.


i actually own this skirt but don't know what to wear it with right now. if you have any suggestions that'd be great. i'd love to get way more wear out of it.

alas, i'll wait til everything goes on sale or see a look-alike at target. i'm not picky. :)

impulse buy.

i just bought these online. what was i thinking. moment of weakness. dang jcrew card. why do you make impulse purchases so easy. unless they are AMAZING on, i'll return them....i swear!

happy friday.

yes. yes. to all of this.

video love.

can't get this song outta my mind. :)

tag-alishious

i was tagged by the beautiful ashley with the Honest Scrap award. i thought i'd indulge this thursday afternoon as i watch the clock slowly go.

the rules:
1. list 10 honest things about yourself that your friends don't know. (this will be pretty hard since i'm very transparent and have no problem spilling my darkest secrets as you all well know)
2. give the award to 7 bloggers.
3. let them know they've received the award.

here goes nothing.

1. i have big dreams. i want to do all the following:
-doing missionary work for an extended length of time
-open a card/stationary/gift/anthro/art store/tea shop
-have 4 children (after i get married...duh!)
-travel extensively

2. i don't believe in capitalization.

3. i am starting a book club in dallas this fall. our first date is september 8th. book to be determined. let me know if you're interested in attending!

4. i absolutely adore my job & my co-workers. i'm blessed beyond belief everyday to work with such amazing people.

5. i secretly want to be in the secret service. i feel like i've talked about this before on the blog but i love anything presidential.

6. i'm the world's worst speller. if fact, spell check already had to correct 4 words i've already written to this point.

7. i'm literally addicted to tetris on my iphone. i even gave it up for lent. then after easter, i starting playing again.

8. i think my favorite movies are the oceans 11-13 trilogy
