His and Hers

Gifts from my sister-in-law Nicole

I'm taking a photography class this semester and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I am finally learning how to use my SLR camera {I can officially shoot in modes other than automatic!} We had to do an assignment where we focused on one color and I chose pink. So I took some photos of my pink piggy bank {aka shoe fund} I couldn't help but take a few of mine and Jason's piggy banks. This one was one of my favorites so I thought I'd share. I'm thinking I'll start posting more of my photography, but if you just can't get enough you can visit my class photography blog. I'm being forced to use Wordpress and I kind of hate it. 

Consciously competent

Vest: made by my mom | Shirt: H&M | Pants: JC Penny | Flats: Famous Footwear

Today I learned about the 4 levels of learning.

1. Unconsciously incompetent.

where you don't know that you are incompetent at something

2. Consciously incompetent

where you know that you are incompetent at something

3. Consciously competent

where you have to think about doing something to do it 

4. Unconsciously competent 

where you can do something without thinking about it.

I then applied this new knowledge to getting dressed.  I have two classes back to back that are on the opposite sides of campus. So on those days I have to plan my outfit accordingly. 

"Do I really want to trek across campus is wedges?"

"Will bringing a coat today mean that I sweat too much during my walk?" 

{tmi? sorry}

Today what I really did was use my college education to to problem solve my fashion issues.

That's what school is for right? Real life situations...like getting dressed every day.

This skirt was made for walking

Shirt: H&M | Skirt: made by my mom | Belt: JC Penny | Shoes: Fred Meyer | Pearls: Thrifted 

Spring is here!!!!! Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. It has been so beautiful the past few days. Jason and I have been enjoying going on walks around campus to enjoy the sunlight. It is lovely. Today we took a nice long walk around campus (2+ miles) and it was a lot of fun. I've been trying to wear more skirts lately and I finally pulled one off. I am so proud of myself. Skirts have never been my forte. 

Sitting Pretty

Cardigan: Target, Shirt: H&M, Jeans: hand-me-down, Shoes: Thrifted, Belt: JC Penny

I'm going to be honest with you guys. I have not been feeling so good looking lately. Today I went and had my hair cut by my good friend Lindsay. She is amazing! She cut my hair and then curled it. I haven't felt this pretty in a long time. I'm now thinking that I'll have to buy and new clip less curling iron. I love, love, love how the curls turned out. I think it's worth spending the time to do my hair to make me feel so good about myself!

The British are coming

White shirt: Down East Outfitters, Pink Shirt: The Love Capades Band, Vest: made
by my mom, Jeans: AE, Boots: Macy's

I'll be honest, I took these photos right after St. Patrick's Day and never got around to posting them. I am happy to say there is no longer snow on the ground! Life has been crazy busy! I got a promotion at work and starting today I am the Managing Editor for the BYU-Idaho Scroll. If you aren't familiar with newspaper positions {and I don't blame you!} that means I am in charge of the front and back pages of our weekly newspaper and I am in charge of making sure the layouts look good and follow the rules. If you go to BYUI and aren't impressed with the front page I sincerely apologize, I'm so scared for this new position! Hopefully I'm better at it than I think I am!

ps. the band that is on my shirt is awesome! Check them out!

I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and all that he does for me. He has cooked me hundreds of meals, taken care of me when I'm sick and goofed off with me. I love the silly times, the hard times, and the amazing times that this year has brought us. The opportunity to spend eternity with him makes me the luckiest girl in the world. 

It's been a while

Life has been crazzzy busy. Finals, work and life has been eating up all my time. I apologize for not blogging in weeks. Here's what I've been up to between final projects, work and spending time with the hubs.
