Hey guys! I'm totally just poppin' in for a real quick post today because, surry, but I gots a Sunday School lesson to plan so I don't gots lots o' time. As evidenced by the fact that I'm talking like I grew up in a trash can. Obviously. ;) Anyway, yesterday I made THE biggest purchase of my life thus far. It was a purchase that was a long time coming, and I couldn't be happier about it. Seriously, I'm soooooo excited about it. I'm going to hold off on sharing what this purchase was, though. At least for a little while. Why? Simply because I love to mention exciting things and get you guys all riled up about it just for the pleasure of refusing to clarify what I'm talking about. ;) I kid, I kid. I'd tell you all today, but when I talk about it I want to do it with a bang! Yes, I'm a drama queen. Anyway, this is my last "Summer" look for you all! Kind of sad? Nah, I hates the Summer time. ;) I do love this outfit, though! Fun print, colors, and of course some crazy sneaks! Really, though, is anyone else blown away that we're already heading into Fall? Where has this year gone?! AH! Also, this is totally random but..."I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty-two!" I've been really feelin' being twenty-two lately so that song has been popping into my head allllls the time! Also, I decided to name this post after that one "Boom Clap" song, that's all over the radio lately, because it just makes me think of an end of summer partayyy! Anyway, yeah, I'm gonna get to my Sunday School lesson planning. :)

Much love!

Matchy Matchy Cabbage Patchy

Spring has arrived my very dearest dudes! Now, quick, somebody go knock on some wood, just in case. I love Spring because it's that fun time of the year when you can wear shorts and chunky sweaters at the same time, holla, holla! Also, it's the season of pastels, and well, I'm a shameless addict. I'm especially addicted to mint. I lurve that color. If you couldn't already tell by my shoes, nails, and choice of backdrop. I'm just matchy matchy cabbage patchy, aren't I? Also, I'm just noticing the bits of random debris strewn all over the ground in these photos, and I must say, it's an interesting array of junk. A bath and body works tube of vanilla lotion, a Sprite bottle cap, a white construction hard hat and just a bunch o' leaves. Preeetty interesting. Kind of makes me wonder how that exact combination of things ended up together. Like, maybe a construction worker was walking down the street sippin' on some Sprite, when all of a sudden, his hands got horrifically dry (because it was fall, ie the leaves, and so the air was crisp and cold), so he decided to whip out his favorite vanilla scented lotion out of the pocket in his tool belt that he carries it in, BUT then, and this is the real clincher here, he realized it was...EMPTY! GASP! Actually, the real clincher here was that run on sentence. ;)

Now, I know, what you're all dying to hear so I'll just get right to it. The winner of the Nikon D3100 bundle of Part One of the Blogging Essentials giveaway is...Paige! Yay Paige! Woot, woot! So excited for you girl! Be on the lookout for an email from me! Now, just so the rest of you who entered don't get too bummed, remember that we still have Part Two going on (a $160 ASOS gift card) and we'll have Part Three (which will be AWESOME) coming up next Wednesday, so stay tuned! Now, excuse me but I'm signing off to enjoy a massive mug of green tea, a snuggle sesh with my freshly bathed pup, and a Desperate Housewives marathon (Currently on season 6. Ask me if I did anything productive today.)

Much love!
