This is the porch off of my parents bedroom at our rented beach house last week. Each floor had a huge wrap around porch with couches and tables.  The top floor even had a screened part. It was perfect. At night we’d go sit out on the porch and listen to the music from the bar right next door and all the people talking and having a good time… ahh.. Grayton Beach.. I love you so. It is the perfect beach town. Relaxed, no crazies like Destin or Panama ;). Everything is within walking distance. Did I mention the bar is right next to the house we stayed in? 🙂

I love these shorts. I stole an old pair of jeans from my sister and cut them off and soaked them in bleach for several hours since the wash is so dark and I love how they turned out. However, they still smell like bleach. 🙂

Happy Wednesday! Look for a sweet Fourth of July outfit tomorrow!

other ways I’ve styled these shorts: one

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Have you ever seen that movie? Beetljuice? I haven’t. I only remember that Gina Davis was in it, right? And she was a ghost or something? Whatever, I hate scary movies and you can’t make me watch it. 🙂 By the way, the word ‘beetlejuice’ is the hardest word on the planet to type without thinking very hard. Try it I dare you!

I finally have my puppy back! I picked her up from being boarded yesterday and she was excited to see me. 🙂 She’s back to her old antics and antagonizing the poor cats. I’m on her side though, cats.

I have been in such a mood for ice cream the past few days. I think it’s the deprivation of all the salt air since we’ve come home and the fact that I had hardly any chocolate on vacation! COME ON. What kind of vacation is that?!

So if you want, send me some chocolate. 🙂

Happy Tuesday!!

I’m back! And oh I miss the beach already. My dad’s side of the family rented a three story house right on the beach in Florida for a week. Babies, cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles all together for a week. Only our family would be okay with that. 🙂 We are a very close family and last summer we started a new tradition called Family Share Time. Each family shares what has been going on in the last year, which I love because we wouldn’t know some of the stuff we hear had we not deliberately sat down and shared. We all complain about it but we secretly really love it. 😉 I am so incredibly blessed to be a part of such an uplifting and loving family. Sharing what has happened in my life these past six or seven months was difficult, but my family loved on me and encouraged me and told me they have been praying for me and will continue to pray. I couldn’t have asked for a better family. 🙂

The sand, the salty air, the cool bar right next door, the waves, the cool, relaxed vibe of Grayton… it’s all given me a new life goal. Buy a beach house. 🙂

Happy Monday!

Oh, PS! My cousin says hi. 🙂

dress: Target, sandals: F21, headband: F21

A super simple outfit for a humid Sunday! I love this dress. It’s one of the few things I’ve bought not on sale. A big kid purchase. 🙂

We are officially three days away from VACATION! Woo! A whole week in a four-story beach side house with my crazy family. Margaritas, sand, reading, water, margaritas, and lounging. I haven’t even started packing. My grandparents have literally been packed since April and my parents have been packed for a month. What are some good books I should bring? Most of my stuff is in storage so I need ideas!

Happy Monday!

tee: Old Navy, skirt: thrifted, shoes: Pacsun

A very simple outfit for lunch with my grandparents. It’s always nice spending time with them and getting to know them more and more with every visit. I love our family. Which is good because we are all going on vacation in 12 days! Ahh.. a week of beachy bliss. Margaritas and sand are calling.my.name.

Happy Monday!

This day was absolutely gorgeous. I got out and washed my car for probably the third time since I’ve had it. Oops! 🙂 We are getting ready to sell that mug and get something smaller so if you’re in the market for an SUV… 😉

It’s hard to believe it’s already June! I haven’t been out of school that long but my poor youngest sister, Rudy, is still in school. I do not miss those days. Yikes! We celebrated her passing the STAAR test the other night. Woo! That’s Texas’ state test that students grades 6-12 have to take at the end of each year. It’s been brutal on Rudy but she did it! And we’re so proud! Go Rudy!

How’s your summer going? So far I’ve been job and apartment hunting mostly and hanging out with friends before they move away! I’ve got a small goal list for the summer number one being find a job. 😉 I’m still waiting to hear back from my top pick. Praying so hard that I get it! If you feel inclined pray that with me!

This week I’m catching up on reading and going to see The Purge on Friday! Ooooo!

Happy Tuesday!
