i love this kid!

if you are having a bad day, watch this video!  i am 98.7% sure that it will bring a smile to your face.

day ten

sweater: old navy

dress and tights: kohls

boots: target

i know what you are thinking "enough with the black boots already!"  well, i had all intentions of wearing my black heels with this dress today.  they looked great with the tights and really took the dress up a notch.  BUT i looked out this morning and saw it was wet and leaves everywhere, so i put my boots on.  

i, elizabeth, vow to wait until at least saturday to wear these boots again!  

i am a 3rd of the way through this challenge and here is what i have learned so far:

• i have a hard time wearing an outfit i put together sometimes.  if i remix something fun and its "just another day" i want to save it for something more exciting.  
• i am feeling less silly about taking and posting pics.  
• i love the fact that i get to use my camera everyday.  
• tights make everything more fun!
• if i had to take pics and post everyday then i would always be more aware of what i am wearing. 
• kendi is a genius for thinking up a challenge that makes people have to shop in their own closet. 
• the white and brown shirts i wear as "1st layer items" need to be replaced.  they are looking pretty rough.   
• even though i am a gemini (my excuse), i can stick with a project/challenge and see it thru to the end. 

happy hump day!

guess what ... im a wiener!

joy at oh joy announced the giveaway wieners here.

there are 2 things that i "need" but that i cant really justify right now.  i could use some help in the accessories department (to help with my 30 for 30) and wall decor to take up the awkward empty spots around the house.  with this lovely giveaway i am not breaking any rules or our budget :) 

thanks joy!!!

happy 100th!

so, this is my 100th post.  

hip hip hurray!!!

i started this blog back in april, with plans of documenting my growth in life, my relationships, my walk with God, photography, etc.  its only been 8 months and 100 posts but i can tell i am growing.  i feel like i am in the process of figuring out the kind of person i want to be and making choices that will take me there.    

thanks to all you readers for sharing this journey with me and for your encouragement :)

i am so excited to see what God has planned for me!

"for I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
