Everyday pieces

Besides my wedding ring, I have a few pieces that i wear almost everyday. This is one of  my favorites.


Something about this horse necklace makes my outfit feel complete. It is a reminder to me that I am a free spirit. Feeling that i have the ability to up and go somewhere, be able to choose the direction i want to go in life.

That gives me a sense of power and control.

When in reality I know that i don't have much control in my life, as I am trying everyday to let the Lord lead me.

This horse pendant is a simple reminder of that. It was gifted to me by Jill. (for the reason that Edie Sedgewick rode horses, was free spirited, and our favorite part in her movie "Factory Girl" is her riding a horse.)

 It may seem silly to some, but to me it  means a lot.

Do you have any pieces that have deep meaning to you?

I'd love to hear from you.

: turning pages

Life is strange. We are constantly changing.

What has been changing the most for me is my interests. I would rather stay in, than go out. Would rather make dinner, then eat out. Would rather spend all my time with Nick, then meet new people.

Sometimes its difficult not being on the same page as your friends. Talking with other young people whom I work with and are married or about to get married could relate to this feeling.

 Its a sensitive subject for me, as I am so close with my friends. . . . it scares me to think of how these relationships might change after I am married. Not only do I live in a different city then most of them, but as a new nurse I am trying to balance my work life/personal life.

It is just something that has been on my mind lately, since it seems that we are all so busy, and on different schedule. I am coming to the realization that, you have to MAKE the time for one another. Very rarely do any of us just have "free time", there is always something that we could be doing. But we must make our friendships of high importance, and make it a priority to devote time to one another.

 Simple things like a text, an email, a voicemail. I know it is unrealistic to think weekly lunch dates are possible.

 Are any of you dealing with trying to maintain this balance? Or feeling like you are in a different place in your life then some of the people who you are closest with?

 If you are..You are not alone.

Change is scary, exciting, and intimidating.

19 days until I turn the page and enter the married life.

I am absolutely giddy just thinking about marrying my fiance. Yet nervous how it may have an affect on my other relationships.

 Just finished working 25 of the last 48 hours. And up and at it again tomorrow. No rest over here in my part of the world.

Take care of yourselves and the ones you love.

 Love is all you need.

Blowdry

Had a trial run for my wedding hair do.

^ha and no this isn't the style, styling hair is such a process. I wish I had more time, patience, and skill to do my hair. This place had the most divine atmosphere. Hope ya'll are staying cozy during this brisk weather.

Rosie

It is a feel good, look good kinda day.

 I don't necessarily think this is a GREAT outfit. But its warm, comfortable, hair up, enjoy my saturday kind of outfit.. Overly obsessed with head scarves these days.

They remind me of a Rosie the Riveter style. Especially this outfit with the jean vest.



Today is Nick's bachelor party. So today I am doing laundry, cleaning, sipping coffee, listening to John Mayer pandora, reading, going to lunch with a darling friend & seeing a movie tonight.

Basically just keeping myself busy.

Hope you all have a blessed Saturday. Don't take this day for granted, for this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.

Thanks for stopping by.
