.starting the day of right.

I saw this post going around on facebook this morning and loved it! This is sooo true! What do you think?

Today I didn't have classes, so I spent the morning studying, having an awesome prayer time with coffee in the coffee cup Tim made me, and doing a few chores. I worked this afternoon, hence why my entire outfit is Ann Taylor today! OH!!! AND IT'S MY BROTHERS 17th BIRTHDAY!!! Happy birthday little bro! Called and chatted with him a few minutes!

I absolutely love this sweater! The buttons are on the back! So cute....

Another day at work! Another day to be reminded of how much I love my job! 40% off entire store right now at Ann Taylor so the amount of people shopping has been crazy! I love it though. So if you are looking for a good deal, come shopping this weekend at Ann Taylor. =)

A beautiful day! The mountains were stunning this morning as I drove to Rococo cafe to meet up with Carley and study.I finally talked .to my mom for a little bit today. Updated her on life. I'm missing home some right now and excited to go back home and visit for a bit -- hopefully thanksgiving!

.a morning devotion.

Goodmorning!
Though I know all of you who read my blog believe in Christ as your Savior, or even that there is a God, by my relationship with God is soo important to me. It's what get's me through each day. This morning I had an awesome time with God and he gave me this "poem" of worship and I wanted to share it. I love when I can worship God with words in this form. It's such a blessing to me.

Morning Worship

I'm at peace.

I'm happy.

When I come into your presence for rest you fill me.

You satisfy my soul

Your grace picks me up

and surrounds me with love.

For you are the God that gave so that I may live.

And in return

I devote each day to you

A fraction of what I can do

compared to your love

Though I can not see your physical face,

your spirit is physically here

and it carries me.

Without you my life is empty.

You bless me day to day with the sight of the sun

or a smiling face

on someone I love.

Your beauty is everlasting 

and i pray it reflects through my soul.

God how wonderful you are

as you sit upon your throne.

A God who loves 

but will anger when love is defied.

That is a true God that I will devote all my days to.

That I will commit my heart and soul to.

That I will fall to my knees and worship.

Blessed are you Lord 

and Oh how you bless my soul.

.indigo girls.

Woo! It's Friday! Hope you are all ready for the weekend! I sure am! A chance to rest, even if I'm not working. Today I went to value village and found the awesome 80's sweatsuit jacket I've been looking for for years! It's asics and is blue, red, and flouresent yellow. Carley and I also purchased two CDs at random from Value village in hopes to find some random music! We did indeed! I successfully picked two CDs. Our favorite of the two being "Indigo Girls." A 90s Folk Rock band with thoughtful lyrics.


 I met up with Becca Bolla, my potential leader for small group for church, and we talked for an hour and half at this coffee shop called "the Lyons Den."

Oh and did I mention Car and I rearranged my room today? I haven't posted any pictures of my room because I knew I was going to rearrange it. I'll post some pictures tomorrow, because I love how it turned out!

Goodnight!

Considering I was up till 3:30 last night, this post won't be very long! But and update on today! I went to the Seattle Art Museum today for my painting class! It is free to the public the first Thursday of every month, so we took advantage of that. I loved it! We were only there for an hour and a half, but I know I could have spent longer going through and reading about all the art. I think what I like most about art is the history and the emotion that it brings to the viewer. It tells a story.

As for today's outfit post::

.living the life.

Yup. Living the Life. I'm happy. Despite the fact that I will probably be pulling an all nighter to get my homework done tonight, I'm happy. I've got a great job doing two things I love - working with people and constantly being in the loop about fashion. School is going pretty good despite the craziness. AND i had an awesome date night last night where Tim cooked me dinner, we went to gasworks parked and just walked and I awed at the Seattle sky line, and then watched Transformers 3 (which I've been dying to see).

Tonight I'm the proud owner of a new suit! Spent $100 ($80 on the jacket originally $230 and $20 on the skirt originally $150) on the suit that is made of wool and from Ann Taylor! It was on sale and since I will be needing a suit for classes coming up, i decided to buy it now. It's navy and is a skirt/jacket set. Love it! It makes me feel all professional.

It was freezing this morning when I got up, so I picked out my comfy sweater with boots. I wore my purple fuzzy socks to keep my feet nice and toasty in the pouring rain. Here's to a good, crazy, busy, loving life day.

.friday night.

It's Friday! Time to make sometime for yourself and relax a little! Let go of the stress built of from this week and trust in God to lead you through the following week!

My day consisted of class, relaxing, budgeting my pay checks and running errands for groceries! Followed by a concert in the Aerie and a movie with Carley! Another day of not working, so my outfit is more casual...
