the man and the sea

This week has been quite lovely. 

I know most people get down on rainy days, but to me they're always just so cozy.

I've always loved the fall-like weather and it means a more to me now because of my little missionary friend, who will return in such blustery weather a year and six months from the 30th.

Also, this week I was fortunate to make a lovely musical discovery.

her name is Hannah Hays. and we've been introduced by way of various socials mediums.

listen to this, please.

Loving it.

family photos

my brother wanted us all to dress the same. light purple shirts and jeans.

two problems.

I don't wear jeans. I had one pair that I used in high school whenever it was required of me to wear them.

I lost track of them a long time ago.

and we did the a similar thing the last time we did family pictures. It was ok, but I felt like it could have been better.

I felt boring. my sister and I were the only ones who shook things up a bit.

This year I said no to boring. they made fun of me for my accessories, looking like a grandma. 

But I like it.

much better.
Love it.

I like her because she's always colorful.

and because she's great.

What I wore to see Miranda Sings

yikes. dirty mirror...

Loosey goosey

For a perfectly breezy and relaxing day, I need the right clothes to make me feel at home.

So I chose the breeziest, relaxingest clothes I own.

So ridiculously comfortable.
