July 2018


Goodbye, July, you were a good one!

I'm on vacation!! I did manage to finish my photo dump (phone blogging, phew ;P), so here you go!


My brother and sister and cousins came with me to get pizza (and stuff) one Sunday. And we "jammed" to Taylor Swift on the way home. xP


Sunday Bible Study <3


My first swim of the year was at the local water park with the fam and all the cousins. *winks* We had fun. Water slides and floating on tubes, and getting sunburned... *thumbs up* Lol. I was coming down with a cold, but I'm glad it wasn't bad yet and I could enjoy myself. Drinking a green apple Icee probably didn't help me later. xP



Happy 4th of July!!

We had a get together at one of my aunt and uncle's houses, but unfortunately, I was sick. :P Blowing my nose "every second" was annoying. But we got to set off fireworks in the backyard (and see the neighbor's as well). I didn't even get to watch fireworks last year, because I was gone.


Those walks (fireworks pics above and next few taken with my camera)



Brother setting off fireworks and firecrackers in the water.





I walked around Lowe's with my two "baby" siblings while my mom did her stuff there. We looked at lights, and kitchens, and such things. :P After running to the bank, we got ice cream cones at Dairy Queen while my mom went back and finished in Lowe's. 


Delicious, big, grocery storechocolate muffins I bought. ^___^


All the LOVEEEEE


Our homeschool group garage sale



Starting my packing list eeeekkkkkk!! 


Wearing one of the cute versatile scarves I found at Walmart. :)



Mexican food with friends. Their "Taco Salad" was good. *smiles*



Cleaning my dad's spec house! I actually didn't mind it. It's almost enjoyable. *winks*


New houses are the best.


My sis and I split this big box of GOLDFISH. xD


Got home from shopping, and there was a low fire still going in the fire-pit outside. So my sister and I made s'more. We hung out there awhile with my brother and looked at people's Instagram pages. :P


Driving to Bible Study in the beautiful weather (aka 75 degrees and raining sometimes). Hey, no humidity feels amazing around here.


A walk to the Amish store by my cousin's house.


I finally bought a case (from Amazon) for my phone. It's chunky, but the rose gold and jewels are so pretty. ^__^ 


A run to the store a little before leaving for vacation.



At the airport!


I found out Delta airlines is pretty awesome. MOVIES! xP


Second flight



Cutting lavender for my uncle's wedding.


Hanging with family at Grandma and Grandpa's. <3 Guys, I don't walk barefoot in my own lawn (call me weird) but here it is glorious. :P It feels clean... And there's like zero weeds. It's dry right now, but not all the grass is brown.


Morning sun against those beautiful evergreens. *wink*


Out to eat with the siblings after church! The first five of us drove there in style in my older brother's cadilac. ;)




Dessert time!


We walked to my aunt and uncle's yesterday.


And picked their blueberry bushes. Not a bad job when you get to eat them along the way. ;)


Later we went to the pool at my great aunt's house.


Well, that's my photo dump for July! Tomorrow is the first day of August, and I'm sure it's going to be a good month! ^__^


HOW WAS JULY FOR YOU?

Blogging Hiatus of Sorts for Vacation


Hey guys! This will probably be one of my last posts for awhile, because we are leaving for vacation pretty soon! 

Yaayyaaayyy!!!

I'm excited. ^___^ I get to see my (only) older brother, my grandparents, aunts + uncle's + cousins, and friends (technically cousins too, lol).


Another thing I'm looking forward to is spending a nice chunk of my summer in that gorgeous side if the country! I'm ditching the humidity. GET TO SEE THE MOUNTAINS. Will be eating all the wild berries. I love. :P Oh, and there's so many EVERGREENS! I like them for some reason. ;P I'd love to visit the beach again too. *crosses fingers*

So yeah, I am so looking forward to this trip! 

I actually have some photography "business" happening this trip as well, which is awesome! Scary too, but... I survived a wedding, so I should be good. :P In fact, I'm doing my second wedding on this trip! Can you believe it?! It's my uncle's wedding. It's actually really cool that I get to do it. =)

Anyhow. Since all of this is going on, I will likely be on a blogging hiatus of sorts. Hopefully I can do my end of July post, but other than that... I did not get any posts scheduled.

So ttyl! Have a good time while I'm gone. *wink*

Black and White Dress\\ Classy Vintage Style


Happy Tuesday to you all! How did the week start off for you? It's been good for me so far. I went to the chiropractor today {I guess I have scoliosis or something} and also bought a dress which I think will be the final choice for my uncle's wedding. :) My mom said she'd pay for half of it, so yay. I only have to pay $10. *winks* Every now and then I actually buy something at a normal store, like TJMaxx. :P

Anyhow, I decided to show you another of the good-deal dresses I found recently. This is not the one I bought today. This is a good old thrift-store dress!


{Yeah, my face looks kinda wierd ;P}

OUTFIT DETAILS:

Dress: $4 at Salvation Army

Shoes: somewhere around $5 {probably...} at Goodwill. I think my mom bought them for me once.

Necklace: I think it was something I got from my aunt for free way back.

Earings: Christmas gift 





My "little" sister did a pretty good job with the pictures again... I had fun too. xP Weekly fashion shoots might become a thing around here. Lol. Not really, though I do have some more things I want to show y'all. :) 

One of the things I like about this dress is that you don't have to wear a tank-top underneath it. *winks* It is on the shorter side, however, so definitely wear shorts under any dress like this. It would be nice if it was like, two inches longer. xP

Hope you enjoyed!

LIKE THIS DRESS OR THE LAST ONE BETTER?
