And So It Begins . . .
It was windy today, as you may or may not have been able to tell in these photos. It was awesome though because it made my shirtdress-turned-top into what felt like a cape.
Today is Tuesday, but it is really my Thursday. Tomorrow is my last day of work for over a week! I could not be more excited. Seriously.
After tomorrow, it is pure weddingweddingwedding time. (aka the story of my life for the past several months)
The kickoff kind of started tonight. One of Patrick's groomsmen, his wife and their two kiddos, got into town from Texas and they came over.
I had never met them and I was so happy to. They are really nice, funny and laid back. I am so fortunate to actually enjoy the company of Patrick's friends.
Their daughter, Taylor, is 8 and their son, Tanner, is 5, so just right for my Conner (7) and Brielle (5)! I have to say, as a mother, there is nothing better than the company of other moms. Bonus points if the kids are close in age and have a ton of fun together.
We didn't cross anything off of the to-do list tonight, but we did have a good time hanging out while the kids zig-zagged in front of, around and through us.
And, I had a successful venture in Pintrest cooking tonight. I successfully pulled of balsamic brown sugar pork tenderloin, bacon wrapped sesame seed asparagus and butter garlic mushrooms. Not to pat myself on the back, but . . . nailed it!
Thank you to all the ladies that sent in your photos for the e-party tomorrow. I can't wait to post them! You guys are the best!

Your red jacket is awesome and the wide leg sailor pants....awesome-r! I love this look.
I love thrifting. About 80 to 85% of what I own was thrifted. My sis doesn't like thrifting for all the reasons you mentioned but me, I don't mind at all for all the good reasons you've also pointed out. Friends see my wardrobe and think that I have a lot of money to throw away on clothes. I know I don't.
The good thing about thrifting here is that the clothes come from different parts of the world, mostly Asian brands and most of the quality is great.

Love the mix of masculine military vest and very feminine pink skirt!

Serious bragging rights you've got there, Frannie! State Senator! Wow! Kudos to Conner!
Now I've seen a lovely way to style my brown skirt. Cute look.
I wish I knew suggestions to give about Kaden. I'm sorry that I don't.

I understand its good to be responsible about spending money, but when a Giorgio Armani item is that dirt cheap you'll be needing jail to keep me from getting them. Looooove your dress; all the pockets and buttons! it's so fab with the leo shoes.

Love your relaxed look. Acceptance of people from a different culture, ethics, sexuality, color, e.t.c is something a lot of people (myself inclusive) need to learn. I think that it's an individual thing. And is a pointer to how open-minded and humane someone truly is. I think that at first there is the shock to overcome and then if someone is open-minded they become accepting of the other person.
I must confess I did wonder about some of your work outfits, but you're lucky τ̲̅☺ have such relaxed dress code at work. I like the occasional power suit myself but on the regular I don't. Cute monochrome look. Love your necklace.
