Day 146: Goodbye Sandals, Hello Auntiehood!

Well its inevitable, the snow is on its way tomorrow. I decided to give my favorite sandals (thanks mom) one last tour on the town before winter rears its ugly head.

I also had an awesome wake up call this morning, my nephew has reared his cute little head out into the world! He is healthy and beautiful, and my first trip into Auntie-land. He is three states away, unfortunately so I can't hold him just yet. I wanted to just hop on a plane to be there to welcome him into this world but I have a second interview tomorrow. Job first, then hold bebe.

I love the color of these pants, you will probably get sick of seeing these this fall/winter, I feel they will be making lots of appearances. I do also love the color the Aspen trees have been turning...its almost neon yellow. So purty. 
 

Sandals: Steve Madden (mom's closet) Rust Skinnies: Goodwill $5, Tank: Kmart $10,  Bandini Bra: Hanes $10 for pack of 2, Cardigan: Goody's $20, Necklace $6

Welcome to Colorful Colorado.

Day 143: A Lil' Bit of Floral Never Hurt Nobody

There has been one thing that has been lacking in my closet: floral. I feel usually it is much too girly, I am reminded back to my 8 year old self that was given a sweatshirt from my grandma. I'm pretty sure it was "Bonjour" or one of those weird 80's brands, the "bonjour" part was written in girly, girly floral. I was forced to wear it when my Grandma was around. I really disliked it, but I loved my Grams and didn't want to hurt her feelings. This was when I was balls-deep in my super tomboy stage. To illustrate how tomboy I really was I'm going to do this. I'm going to show my one of my grade school pictures to the blogger world. God help me.

Told you it was horrendous. hope you had a good laugh...apparently tie-dyed was ok, floral not ok.
So I am slowly trying to put it back in my wardrobe....slowly.

Shoes: Target $15, Jeans: (MEK) The Buckle (had since college) Floral Shirt: KMart $10, Denim Shirt: Wal Mart (Miley Cyrus) $5, Cardigan: Goody's $15 (gift from mom)

I would also, never, ever, paint my fingernails....ewwwwwwww! I just recently started (I swear the first time I had my fingernails painted was a few months ago) And my sister picked out this lovely color for me. I believe it to be awesome. Thanks sister. Sidenote: never post any pictures of my hand again...especially my creepy finger (I broke it a few years ago playing volleyball). The doc told me it wouldn't grow back straight without surgery, I said, "well Doc I'm no hand model, so that is completely unnecessary!"

Do you have any hideous grade school pictures you wish would just spontaneously com-bust?

Day 123: Where the Heart Is

I will tell you one thing, home is definitely where my heart is. I love these people that have surrounded me in the last couple of days.

They are: my rock, my support system, my homies, my pick-me-uppers, my loves, my sunshine, my all, my family.

From left: Casey: Sister in Law, Cade: Brudder, Me, Seth: Brudder

Oh, and did I mention we are ridiculously good looking? As you can see I have two very tall, strapping, overly protective older brothers. Made it hard to find a date in high school, there were a lot of scared boys in this little town...well in this little county. I never thought I would ever look back an appreciate that, but I do. Thanks big brudders for keeping those icky boys away!

Mom and Jim

And these lovely people: my mother: favorite shopping buddy, napping buddy, pool buddy, and she spoils me rotten (even though I just celebrated my 27th bday) and Jim whom we proudly point to everyday (when the check comes, he he....kidding, we point to him a lot, he is an great man. Great to my mother, great to my brothers, great to me...all in all a good white haired dude) 

Oh yeah, and one more thing, I'm gonna be an auntie!!!!

That lil' honeydew melon is still cookin' but in a few short weeks, that bump will be my lil' nephew. So freakin' excited!!!!

Oh, and "What I'm wearing":

Shorts: Guess $7 (duh I got them at Marshall's)

Tank: K-Mart: $9
