Hippie & Roomie Love

 Details: Dress: A beautiful gift from my roomie (Anthropologie), Flats: Steve Madden, Belt: Gap, Headband: F21, Shades: Urban
**I love this dress because it's so versatile and can be worn with leggings or boots etc!

Today was finally sunny enough to wear a dress! HOORAY! There's actually a lovely story behind this dress, Roomie and I were out doing what we do best (shopping) and I saw this dress and tried it on and LOVED it but didn't purchase it (yes, I practiced impulse control). Anyways, I had a LONG, HARD WEEK and the other night I heard a little knock on my bedroom door and there was a package on the ground with this beautiful dress in it and a sweet note! I couldn't believe it and it was seriously the nicest thing, I love it and her! I'm such a lucky girl! Love you Roomie! So lets go spread the cheer and go do something nice for someone! I'll race you! Take your mark...GET...SET...
GO!

Washington State of Mind...

Today is rainy, cloudy and overcast, just how I like it! It makes me miss Washington and home so much! I've been dying to go to get on a plane and jet home real quick! So much to do and people to see! I talked to mystery boy (haha names will NOT be revealed lol) yesterday and I want to go see him and his new puppy and go to the tulip festival! Can't you just imagine it, hand in hand, walking through fields of flowers!?  I'm also dying to hold my sweet new baby niece, Belle! But instead I'm stuck with piles of homework, two tests, and a lot of work, boo hoo! Oh well, I'm happy with where I am and who I'm with! :) Oh and Happy Birthday to my beautiful roommie Nellie! :)

Happy Monday my friends! Now go splash in a rain puddle for me!

(ps. Sorry my photos weren't that great today! :( it was soooooooo windy when we went outside to shoot! I promise they will improve soon!!! PROMISE K!)

Can I just tell you about my productive Saturday for a minute?! haha I woke up at 7:30am (I know it's unheard of for me) and studied for a bit, then went to go take a test on campus (boo hoo!) ACED that in 45 minutes then came home to eat a delicious breakfast! After that I threw some laundry in and then it was off to a doctor's appointment. Luckily that finished quicker than I thought and I came home just in time to change the laundry! haha After that my cleaning OCD(ness) kicked in and I proceeded to clean the kitchen, bathroom, and my bedroom haha all before 1 pm. (BEAUTIFUL!) I ran some errands around town and did some more hw and now i'm writing a quick blog to say hi and that I love you all! :) Happy Saturday! See you tomorrow!

Today's Realizations: I need my DSLR camera!!!! and a Bigger Closet! :)

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."
— Marilyn Monroe

So True...Thank You Marilyn! Happy Tuesday My Loves!

I'll Take Another Monday Like That!

My Brother & I! (yes the one who everyone thinks i'm dating)

As pictured above, my sweet brother drove 3 hours to surprise me! He showed up at my door with goodies (yum) and totally surprised me! About an hour earlier he called and we chatted for awhile, I had no idea he was on his way to see me! I love him so much and it's so fun to be with him! Today was great although half my day was spent with my face in a microscope studying for my Microbiology class it was still a great one! :) Happy Monday my dears!
