So here I am, making up the last few days, since I was too lazy to actually post on those days.
Wearing Wednesday:
So, I actually wore this on Thursday (shhhh!) but I'm going to post it anyways.
This is what I wore on the 4th of July! Yay!
What I'm Wearing:
Dress: Savers
Necklace: Christmas Present (from JC Penny)
Scarf: my Mom's closet
Belt: off an old shirt
Shoes: my Mom's closet
I loved that this had a totally retro/vintage look to it. I just got the dress Monday at Saver's (for $3.50!) and I thought with the red and blue accents, it was perfect! This dress is my new favorite, I think! It's super lightweight, so it's perfect for these Arizona summers, but can easily be layered for Utah winters! Ah, I love it!
Thoughtful Thursday:
So, I finished my first tie that I'm actually sending off! It is super awesome! So I'm sending it to Jake, of course! I was just going to send him the tie and maybe a couple of other things in a small package, but my mom had a flat-rate shipping box she wasn't going to use, so the package ended up being so much bigger than I planned. In fact, I haven't even filled it yet!
I would like to take a moment to thank Pinterest for helping me come up with ideas for this package. And I would like to return the favor and show what I put, with the cheesy sayings to go along with everything, you know, just in case there are people like me who need inspiration.
 |
| I went with the theme of "Summer Fun" because, well, it's summer, and it is such an easy theme! |
 |
| (I don't know why this pic is upside-down...) This is the tie I made! :) The note says "So you look cool this summer!" |
 |
| "You are one 'Hot Tamale' of a missionary!" (I'm not sure if you are supposed to call missionaries "hot tamales", but whatever.) |
 |
| "You already have the Light of Christ in your eyes, you don't need sunlight in your eyes too!" Can you believe these are Dollar Store sunglasses? I should have gotten myself some... |
 |
| Tootsie Rolls, inside the water bottle as a little surprise! "I hope you're on a roll!" |
 |
| "The armor of God doesn't protect you from UVA/UVB." (I don't even know if Jake is riding a bike or driving a car... if its a car, this won't be very helpful. :P) |
 |
| "I am a huge fan of the work you are doing!" |
 |
| "Chews the right!" Haha, punny! |
 |
| "I 'mint' to tell you, you are an amazing missionary!" (Alright, so I actually tell him that in every letter, but I couldn't think of anything else to say...) |
 |
| "Soak yourself in the spirit!" on one side, and "Have a 'ball' on your mission!" on the other. I don't even know if he will use these water balls or water balloons, but they are summery. |
 |
| I decided to throw in extra batteries for the fan. "You've got the Power!" |
 |
| BUBBLES! (I almost didn't put these in. I LOVE bubbles.) "Don't let anyone burst your bubble!" |
 |
| "Drink water. Don't die. Ok? Ok." I was running out of creative juice at this point.... |
 |
| I thought this was super clever! I turned a Pay Day bar into a P-Day bar! Heehee! |
Five-Things Friday:
Here are five of my favorite movies. In no particular order, since my very favorite changes from day-to-day.
1) Tangled
 |
| Disney, great music, princess who is a total spazz, most attractive Disney male EVER.... What more do you need? |
2) Hairspray
 |
| Poofy dresses, big hair, singing and dancing, John Travolta in drag, James Marsden AND Zac Efron. Yes. Just Yes. |
3) Enchanted
 |
| My dream wedding dress, singing, talking animals, animation AND live action, James Marsden, Peter Pettigrew. :) |
4) 27 Dresses
 |
| Dresses, humor, James Marsden (Am I sensing a pattern here?), she ends up with the cuter guy, and weddings. |
5) Pitch Perfect
 |
| Singing, dancing, Fat Amy, Skylar Astin, SOCK PUPPETS. Aca-amazing! |
Well, it was even hard to narrow this list to five. Maybe next week I'll do my next five favorite movies. Just because there are so many more! :)
Anyways, thanks for reading this incredibly long blog post. You are good people. I like you.
Peace out!
