Calling All Prayer Warriors!

My best friend Mallory is 25 weeks pregnant. This morning at 3am she went into pre-term labor. The doctors are working to stop the labor. Baby Maci currently weighs around 1lb 16oz. We know that God answers prayers and He is the Ultimate Physician. Please pray for Mallory and Maci. I love the mama and this baby girl so much! Thank you!

Furlough Day #2

Today was furlough day number 2 for my school. The first furlough day was on August 5--my birthday--so I wasn't really bothered that I didn't have to work. :) Today I decided to use a little bit of my birthday money. I went to Christian Supply and bought the book Laughing in the Dark by Chonda Pierce. Chonda is a Christian comedian and speaker who has suffered from depression and wrote this book to inform the readers that there is hope. Since I've suffered from anxiety and depression since I was 13, I thought this might be a great read.

I then went to Goodwill. I absolutely LOVE shopping at Goodwill. I got this pretty necklace for 5 dollars.



This winter dress for my god-daughter Brianna for $3.25. It still had the tags on it from TJ Max. Isn't it cute?!


I got all of these books for $8.43.


Last, I got some clothes for my friend Mallory's baby girl, Maci who will be born towards the beginning of December. I got all of these clothes for $5.10.
This cute skirt and bloomers set is from Baby Gap.


This cherry dress is from Gymboree.


This purplish-black shirt is from Gymboree.


This blue jean jumper is from The Children's Place.


These cute shorts are from Target. These will be great for the summer time!


Did I meantion how much I love Goodwill?!

A Birthday Party with a BFF and a Fruzin

On Friday, August 6, my good friend from college Laura invited me to her house in Anderson for a birthday party for ME! :) She is so sweet! We had delicious tacos, pickles, and a yummy dessert. Her fruzin, Morgan, also hung out with us. (FYI: A fruzin is a cousin that is also a friend!)

While we ate our tacos we watch a movie that was one of my favorites when I was probably in middle school. We watched The Babysitters Club. I loved reading those books when I was younger. It had been so long since I had seen the movie or read the books that I had to ask Morgan to refresh my memory. I loved those books.

After we finished eating we took a quick trip to Dollar Tree and Walmart to hunt for bandanas to make Bandana Blossoms. Check out Laura's blog to find out more about Morgan's new creation. The next morning we got up an checked out a few yard sales and then went to the Jockey Lot! I didn't buy anything except for an icee at the Jockey Lot, but I still had fun. I love those girls.

Laura, thanks for a wonderful birthday party! I love you!
