Trending Now...

I was talking to a guy friend today and he was telling me how he was frustrated with dating.  It was interesting to note that I have had a lot of the same feelings he is feeling now.  Luckily I am in a patient, faithful stage right now so I was able to help him, or so I think.  I have known this friend for at least 5 years, maybe longer and we are about the same age.  We notice that there is a huge trend now among mid-singles.  That trend includes being scared of dating, commitment, and marriage.  We thought the trend also included lack of faith such as wanting to be financially stable before marriage or just thinking it would never happen.  I felt bad that he was feeling discouraged, but the best advice I could him was to have faith in the Lord's timing.  I also loved the below quote that I found today.  I believe that we can get through anything if we have someone to get through it with.  Right now I just have to do all things with the Lord. 

Fall Pictures Part #1

Recently a photographer friend wanted to take pictures of me and who am I to say no to building up my self-esteem. So here are a few of my favorites. More to come after our next shoot:)

 

 

Happy Halloween

I love Halloween!  I am pretty sure it is because I just enjoy all the fun costumes out there, with the exception of gory, immodest, or just gross.  I look forward to my Halloween work party more then the Christmas one.  This year I stressed a lot about what I was going to wear, but a friend came through and I had to supply very little.  I loved winning my work costume contest and especially loved seeing the delight in Trick-or-treater's eye's when I answered the door.  Almost every kid said, "Are you Mary Poppins?"  All the treats don't hurt either(; 

My favorite costume besides mine, was the "Double Check Discount" woman.



The lace up shoes were pretty painful,
I feel for the women of the early 1900's.

Completley authentic down to the shoes, carpet bag, bird umbrella, and hat. 
The only thing I forgot to put on was the scarf.
