2 of 30: Covered in Car Oil

Sorry for the craziness of my hair in these pictures...not gonna lie, I was tempted to skip posting today because I look GHASTLY :P I got out of the car and Fiance Drayton Wesley took these pics in the 3 mins we had before our church tour appointment (oh wedding planning). But hey, we all have those moments, right?

On a positive note, after the running around of the day, it was LOVELY to tour the church. Pretty little chapel that's just the right size...and great pricing :) Only downside was the DREADFUL bright robin's egg blue walls in the room they use for receptions. Oh dear. Oh dear. But beggars can't be choosers of cream walls and dark woodwork, can they?


Then of course there was the moment of the night where Drayton's car wouldn't start...and we checked the oil with his cell phone light in the dark...and walked to a gas station to buy a refill...and then filled the car with oil in the dark...I am quite the little grease monkey now!!! And that's literal!!!


Til tomorrow,

1 of 30: Fiance Included

So I decided to start off my 30 for 30 with an outfit combination that I wouldn't normally put together...that way the "different" ones won't all end up at the end!

BLOOPER. Fiance decided to take a picture of me to make me look silly :P

The beautiful fiance...who also wore a floral button-down today!

I think I'm really going to like this challenge...I can see where I might get a little tired of wearing the same shirts and sweaters over and over...but it's giving me a burst of new creativity and feels refreshing to have my closet cleaned up :)

30 for 30!!!





Well this is my last post before I start the "30 for 30" challenge with KendiEveryday ...Ironically, I think some of these pieces will appear in my challenge wardrobe (which I'll be posting later today), but that's okay :)

In other news, I'm taking the fiancee (still love saying that) on a special date tonight, so I'm thrilled to see him all dressed up. I'm sure you all will get to see those pics sometime soon too...

Super excited for this next month!!!

And Now to Your Scheduled Programming




Sigh. Yes, tis the Epic Fail Blogger again...the one who has only managed two posts in as many weeks almost, and one of them about wedding gowns :)

But I am still alive, and I do think about things ASIDE FROM my wedding...sometimes! For example, last week I thought a lot about the ancient kings of Hattusas, Mitanni, and Assyria as I prepared for my exams. And I thought about red pens and how much I like writing with them because I was grading tests. And I thought about missing Jessica since she doesn't live with me right now :(

Today, I thought about voting and Butterfinger ice cream. What about you?

Two Different Faces...

...but in tight places, we think and we act as one!
How about a Two For Tea Monday Special???!!

Flashback to freshman year...

We were just two gals, randomly selected to live together. Little did we know what
the future would hold for us!

we attempted to teach many a boy, the basics of swing dancing...


we baked and wore matching aprons!


we recreated this picture one too many times...



we shared a room and a closet...



annnnd...have taken several, attractive pictures together...




So, there's a small peek into life with Cambria and Jessica over the past three years...that's what I call a good time!

Also, this is me "not forgetting about the blogggg." I know I haven't been as good as C about posting...but, just you wait! Next semester is going to be...great.
Until next time,
Love,
Jess
