High-Waisted

Shirt- Rainbow

Shorts- Thrifted

Necklace- Rue21

Belt- Previously owned (Walmart?)

Shoes- Previously owned

So this is the first time I've worn these, as well as the first high-waisted shorts I've worn since middle school. I bought them at a local thrift store for like $2. I was stoked. I'm especially stoked about the fact that they hide my muffin top well.

I've always wanted a pair of high-waisted shorts but I always have issues finding a pair that doesn't accentuate the fact that I have a little extra padding around the middle. Hopefully, I can find a few more pairs that will fit me this well. :)

I am TERRIBLE

Yes, I am terrible at updating this.

So, Independence Day weekend was pretty awesome. Vond* fireworks are awesome as always and I took quite a few photos like always. They have a huge family and make up a good majority of everyone in the wards in my town. A lot of them have really good paying jobs like lawyers, dentists, and doctors so they have quite a bit of money to spend on the display. They rig it up to music and everything. It's the best display around. They've also been told that they spend more money on fireworks than the city.
A love the display because it's usually about 20 to 30 minutes of constant fireworks not like the city where it's "Boom! . . . . Boom! . . . . Boom!"
Vond's are like "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Lol. I'm sure you loved that explanation.

I got to see my best friend from childhood (the one who just got married in Louisiana) and spent some time with her on Monday before I left for school.

I've been at school since and quite a bit has happened while here and I'll save that for another update which hopefully will come soon!

Cool things

Decided to visit a local church's garage sale today. Found a couple of neat things like a bamboo steamer for a $1 and a really lovely candle holder for $1.

Then I came across this beauty.





















They wanted $75 originally. They were packing everything up and after much bargaining I paid $25 for this lovely record/CD/cassette/radio player combo. Got home and checked everything out. The CD player is the only thing that doesn't work. Figures. lol. I'm hoping to find someone to help me with that. I'm super excited that the record player works; it plays 78s and 45s! :)

Also, got to talk to the boyfriend yesterday on his way home for the weekend. Turns out he found someone who works for the Physical Plant and is going to recommend him for that custodial job I was trying to help him out with. He just has to come in on Monday and apply in person. I'm super excited for him. I really hope he gets this, he needs it.
I'm supposed to be headed that way to school in about a week and a half. I'll finally get to see him! I miss him a lot. I really hope if he does get that job that he'll still be able to come to my friend's wedding with me. I'm crossing my fingers. :]

Happy Face

I feel like life is almost perfect right now. Very surreal and kind of weird, especially knowing I have a lot to do physically/temporally and spiritually right now. I've been feeling quite amazing lately! I'm not entirely sure why, but I have much more energy and actually feel like accomplishing more. It's like fasting for my boyfriend did more for me.

I decided rather randomly that I was going to make mint brownies last night so I googled some recipes and started on them after everyone went to bed. While waiting for the brownies to cool, I finally got around to painting my toe nails. I cleaned some of my junk in the living room so my mom could maybe nag me less about my college mess. I finished my brownies and went to bed.

Got up a bit late this morning but still went out for a jog/run. This was like the first time I've ever purposely went out and ran, so I didn't get too far before having to walk, but I was still proud of myself. Unfortunately, I had to fight back the urge to throw up the rest of the way home. lol. My heart was racing, my head was pounding, but it felt great! I went outside to tan for a while since this was first time in a while that we've actually had sun. While tanning in the backyard I painted my finger nails! Whoo!

I've ordered some super adorable clothes recently, too!

And my childhood best friend's wedding reception is coming up and I messaged her about a place to stay for me and my boyfriend. She was super bubbly and excited and was totally willing to help me out. I know we may not still be absolute best friends, but she's still amazing and a wonderful woman. I'll always love her. She even said bye in our old little language. It was nice.

Life just seems pretty fantastic right now, well, besides the whole boyfriend part right now. Hopefully that'll all get sorted out soon. I hope my days keep getting better. :]
