As of late..

Just thought I'd give ya'll a few updates on how things are going.

I've decided to share with ya'll outfits and things I can do with what I have, instead of things I want to get. I'm still trying to keep my resolution for contentment, and so I wanted to do this. Ready? 

essie nail polish

I'm about to polish my nails with one of my favorite Essie polishes, Turquoise and Caicos. It's bright, fun, and perfect for spring and summer.

So simple and cute!
I just realized that I have almost everything for this outfit. I have a purple cardigan just like this, white tshirt, and jean skirt just like this one. I'd wear it with either my lace converse, flip flops, or pink boat shoes, depending on where I was going. 

Ichi Omso Sweater found on Polyvore

I fell in love with the color and look of this sweater, then realized that my mom has this exact sweater except it opens in the front. I can't wait to borrow it this autumn!

Nautical

I've been looking for the perfect navy and white striped shirt. But this gave me the idea to get an undershirt like this (for three dollars at Walmart) and wear my white shirt over it. I had found a shirt like I wanted, but it was $23, and I didn't want to spend that kind of money on a shirt. So this will be a cheaper way. :) 

umm.... awesome

I still have the black jersey material I got to make this dress. Hopefully, I'll get to make it soon. 

My brother will be done with school the first week of April, so I hope to be able to get back on Bible College then. Between homeschooling Mark and Rachel, it just hasn't been happening. I miss it a lot.

I'm now on my 7th day in a row of exercising. I only missed yesterday because of church, and I didn't want to get all sweaty before going to church. I'm drinking lots of water, and I'm hungry almost all the time, which my dad said means my metabolism is going up. I'm also getting a nice tan from being outside so much. I don't think I'm going to post any pictures of myself for the next two months, until I hope to reveal the new and improved me. I'm doing way better this time then any other time I've tried before. I think it's because I'm not really changing my diet, just doing exercises that are reasonable and I can enjoy. Keeping a journal of my daily exercises has really helped also. It shows me my progress and reminds me to not miss a day. If anyone's interested, I'd be glad to share the exercises I've been doing.

Now, I'd like to ask ya'll to pray for me. I recently found out about something that may change my life in the next year. I'm praying for God's will in the situation, and for His preparing me for this possible new step in my life. I'd really appreciate it.
