explanation

i am alive, i HAVE been doing my 30 for 30 clothing challenge, i have NOT been posting them and i will tell you why.
two weekends ago zach and i went up to hume to visit friends, got back home and left for san diego for 5 days, got back home and then i left to go up to hume as a counselor for our church at wagon train (camp for 3-6th graders)! i will admit that at camp, i wore some dirty clothes that werent on my challenge list but it was necessary! like workout clothes prettty much.
so yes, i will be bringing back the outfit posts asap!

[day 11]

(dress: UO, crocheted vest: mcalous boutique, belt: thrifty, headband: han-made)

YO YO YOU YO. i forgot to wear shoes again today. 

me & zach are going down to san diego tomorrow! we're going to visit a lot of friends & also, the school we will be attending in the fall! (san diego christian college).  (that also means possibly no pictures of outfits, but who cares! i will eventually have 30 outfits up here so calm down)

i got to lay in the sun today while this happened 

(yes that is my boyfriend) the sunshine was soo nice. its a very comfortable thing to feel on your skin. (ps check out those shorts!!! man oh man. )

[day 10]

alright alright alright. i will confess, i forgot to take pictures of my outfits this weekend. i went up to Hume Lake to visit some of my best friends ever and i totally forgot to get any photos of my outfits!!! but i did still keep to my 30 items, never fear! i just decided to start back with day 10 being today!

(vest: UO, maxi dress: target, shoes: i forgot to wear any)

I LOVE HUME. i cant even tell you how refreshing and fun this weekend was. we got to see so many friends and do so many fun things! i have some of the greatest friends in the entire world, i am the most blessed girl ever. i am so thankful for hume and all the people that God has brought into my life because of it.

[fill in the blank friday]

(consider yesterdays fav pins post as pretty things thursday by the by)

1.   This weekend I'm       i am going up to Hume with my dear Zachary to visit friends!   and     i can't wait to be in that beautiful place.

2.  My last vacation was   when i went home to visit my family and my grandparents from Minnesota that were visiting.

3.  My next vacation will be    on tuesday, down to san diego!

4.  My favorite way to relax is  gilmore girls and crafting. also chai.

5.  When vacationing one should always    take it easy & leave room for spontaneity. 

6.  When vacationing one should never     be cranky .

7.  The best part about a vacation is       how refreshing it is to get away for a few days.

[day 9]

(red vest: UO, striped tank: h&m, jeans: f21, shoes: toms)

i'm not really sure why, but it got a little silly towards the end. i get sick of the same poses.

today was a beautiful day. i got to drive to arroyo grande with kari, zach's mama, and get coffee. she is a very wise lady. its nice to talk to someone older and smarter than you sometimes, you know?

we picked up zarissa from her last day of school (it was a park party!) and walked around downtown AG and let me tell you, it was a silly day. kari broke a glass in the coffee shop, i took a picture of something & got yelled at not to, zarissa dropped her phone in some bowls and made a loud noise. we didnt even want to try to go into the antique store. it was a really great time with them.

then we made mint chocolate chip cookies! they were pretty good but not as pretty lookin as the pictures.

for dinner, kari made this delicious eggplant lasagna wrap things- seriously, she is an amazing cook. it was so good.

overall, lovely day. 

and tomorrow, i am off to hume with my dear zachary! i am very blessed.

[day 8]

(shirt: h&m [guys section], red dress: UO, lace skirt: target, shoes: toms, scarf: han-made)

i was a little bit sicky today and i slept in reallly late, i wont even tell you how late because its embarrassing. but apparently i needed it because i didnt even stir before then! i got to go on a lovely little walk and talk with Jesus-- let me tell you, it was the perfect day out. warm sun+cool breeze= perfect weather. and the walk was quite refreshing!

(here is a few pictures from my walk)

(me & zach absolutely love vanilla coke, its our favorite pop)

[day 7]

(headband: han-made, top: f21, scarf/belt: h&m, grey skirt: UO, lace skirt: target, boots: thrifted)

today was so sunny and lovely and summery. zach & i had plans to go swim laps at the pool but when we got there, it was closed for dumb aerobics. so instead, we got donuts! i know right, fgm.

i've also been working on a few little projects lately! soon you will see!

[day 6]

(tank: h&m, blazer: h&m, shorts: f21, sandals: h&m)

today is a nice day. the sun is out, its my dad's 45th birthday (!!!!!) and i think i'm going to do some baking later on!

if you're wondering why all my pictures have this weird backround, i'll tell ya. my sweet boyfriend zach  is my photographer, every day. and works at a place called wasco. so i visit him on his lunch break, hang out with him, kaleb & whitney and the sweet little babies, and then he takes my outfit post pictures for me! this is the only place that seems suitable for a photo, so on this yellow/white wall it it will be.

hope you're enjoying your monday!

today was sort of a chilly rainy day! it was nice though. these days are the best for cuddling and drinking warm drinks.

we had church this morning and then went into san luis obispo for some coffee at the Kreuzberg & shopping at urban outfitters & world market (my absolute favorite place ever)! i got some tiger spice chai and i have to say, i am quite pleased with it!
