I needed to take these on my birthday. I have stockpiles of glitter for no reason and love the bokeh it gives. Plus, I just really wanted to do it.
Sorry, Shelk. 🙂
Didn’t realize the HUGE mess it made along with the million of mosquito bites we accumulated while shooting these. When I changed clothes confetti and glitter fell.everywhere. It required an immediate shower. Then, this.

A few Friday nights ago was my high school’s homecoming, and since my youngest sister is in the band we went to watch! The band is pretty hardcore and the director is the coolest guy. We’re all real proud of Rudy meeting new people and finding something she loves to do! And I guess it was worth it because Shel caught a real expensive football. Even though I understand nothing about football it’s so fun to go to a game and just be a part of a crowd and eat cheap concession food. Texas, right?
If you’re wondering, we lost.
Happy Wednesday!

Six days before my birthday is my dad’s birthday. He turned 49 this year but I’m totally not embarrassed that my dad is old because he has a beard and is kewl!
We celebrated in classic dad style with lots of good food and cake. Mom made the best Chinese food you’ll ever have and crab rangoon dip. DIP. Okay? Like those little fried fortune cookie things with crab dip inside? THIS.IS.JUST.THE.INSIDES. THEN she made wonton chips. They are so much better than any other kind of dipping chip. So crispy and bubble and light. Yum.
He’s growing out his beard for the rest of the year starting back in September. Yikes.
Happy Birthday Pop Pop!

blouse: thrifted, jeans: F21, sandals: Academy Sports & Outdoors, necklace: Target (gift)
I wore this to church the night before my birthday. My sister was giving her testimony (nailed it, btw) and I wanted to spice it up with a little glam. The only places open in my “town” at night are Whataburger and the gas station. Our Dollar General was about to close so while my parents ran in for a few things we snapped these under the flattering fluorescent.
I can’t believe how big of a score this blouse was. I bought it several years ago in no doubt a Goodwill somewhere in this country. Rulez, right?
So what are you doing for Halloween? I’ve got no plans. We can’t wear costumes to work so I think I’m going as farts in a human costume.
Happy Halloween. BOO.

I’ve been 23 for about a month so that gives me the right to post about it whenever I want, right? 🙂
My birthday celebrations actually started three days before with a surprise dinner with all of my friends from school! They brought me the sweetest card signed by the entire choir that I was apart of for two years and then brought me face cake. I love these people. They really are the best.
The next day I wore my birthday headband and birthday girl button and brought mom-made chocolate mocha cupcakes to work just like an elementary student. 🙂 BTW, you can’t have my mom. She’s mine.
After the best day of work ever I came home to my favorite dinner: roast, potatoes, carrots, and a beer in a frosted mug. 🙂 Then I opened the best presents; a sassy shirt, margarita shower gel, and a gift card for a mani/pedi and a haircut. I don’t like spending money on myself that way so my parents knew exactly how to pamper me!
I capped off my week by a hardcore mani/pedi and a big ol’ haircut by the best in the biz, Kelso!
I had the best birthday ever and I think 23 is really going to be the best year. Here we go. 🙂

Granted my birthday was nearly a month ago, it was amazing nonetheless.
The night before my mom graciously made the best melt-in-your-mouth chocolate mocha cupcakes. WE WERE ALL DEAD. But no one can have my mom. She’s mine.
Then she made me the cutest headband party hat that I wore along with my “Birthday Girl” button. I know. I’m crazy.
After a great day at work, I came home for a mini glitter shoot with my sister. Actually it was me forcing her outside with handfuls of glitter and my camera and then literally being swarmed by a thousand mosquitoes… but details right?
THE AFTERMATH:
After dousing ourselves in rubbing alcohol to kill the itching, we sat down for my favorite meal: roast, potatoes, carrots, and green bean casserole. And a beer in a frosted mug. Mmm….
I opened the greatest shirt from my sister along with some margarita shower gel from philosophy and then from my parents I got a little pampering. Gel mani/pedi and a haircut. THE best way to end a week. Ahhh! I hear you, Calgon. Go on and take me away.
Thanks to all that wished me well. 🙂 May all of your birthdays live up to mine!
