Totally Worth It

Hello, again. It's been a while.

So, I am one of those.

I definitely got up in time to watch the Royal Wedding live, not for all the pre-wedding coverage, just the wedding itself. I was up in time to see this:

Cate looked absolutely perfect. And so did Pippa, I think.

I love this shot:

I mean, I do not know these people, but they seem to really love each other and I like that.

Adorable:


I read that Cate took lessons from a make up artist in London and did her OWN makeup for the wedding. I did some of mine, but I'm glad I had my sweet bf, Kimmie, to help with makeup and hair! I cannot imagine doing my own before, oh, about 2 billion people watch me get married. Good for you, Cate!


So I may or may not have been made fun of a little bit for waking up for it, but I am so happy I did. My grandmother is British and I have always been fascinated by the royals. It was a great wedding and processional. I hope they are happy together! And honestly, we should pray for them because their ceremony was remarkably Christian. Maybe one day they will really believe it in their hearts. What a change that would be for England!

Not So Good At This

So, I'm not so good at this whole blogging thing when I don't really haven't anything going on and school is CRAZY!

However, I have a few minutes that I should actually be writing a paper, but instead, I will blog. I
mean, I owe it to you, right?

Last weekend, Ethan and I went to Passion with our college students. My goodness. What a weekend!
I never went when I was in college and I'm sad I didn't. However, I am very thankful that I got to
go now. We heard Louie Giglio, Francis Chan and John Piper speak. We were led in worship by Chris
Tomlin, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill, Charlie Hall, and David Crowder. LeCrae even showed up.
It was an amazing weekend. I learned so much and it was just the rejuvenation that I needed!

During spring break, when Ethan was gone, my friend, DeAnna, and I made wreaths. One of the blogs
I follow (Hi, Linley) posted a DIY on this a while back and I have been wanting to make it since I saw
it. I talked DeAnna into doing it with me. They turned out SO good! Here's mine:

DeAnna did her roses all taupe colored and it looked amazing. Mine was too heavy to hang on my door outside on the existing nail, so i propped it up on my desk and I think I love it there:


Although it took longer than I thought it would, it was really really easy and cheap! Here's the direct link to the rose wreath DIY: here!

Check out all her DIYs here. I want to make the coasters, moss covered letters, and her latest clutch.

Anyway, that's all for tonight. I need to go write that paper.
