Goodness me.  I had no idea it has been so terribly long since I had even visited my blog let alone read the blogs I follow.  Can I just say boyfriends take up so much time and are high maintenance.  Jeepers.  I have been so busy over the last two months.  Did I mention I got a new job?  Yep.  I am working at the sheriff's office in my county as the records clerk.  I've only been there about 2 months, but I absolutely love the work and love the people that I work with.  It's my first full time job so the first few weeks I was super tired everyday lol, but its totally worth it.  I have so many picture file to share with you all so hopefully I can stay more on track with my blog and update it regulary instead of this every other month stuff I've been pulling lately.  Here' an outfit I made a while ago out of vintage reproduction fabric.

Well dear blog readers.  That's it for now.  I'm off to Indianapolis this weekend to visit some dear friends and to show my boyfriend the university I went to and to see Beauty and the Beast on stage.  Call me super excited!

 


A few weeks ago I went to a humongous antique mall and found lots of goodies, but my most favorite find was this pair of 1930's shoes, practically in perfect condition.  And what's more, they actually fit my big feet!  I was so ecstatic, I planned my entire outfit for church around my shoes.....and here's the outcome:

 

LOVE,

So I guess I decided to take like a 2 month break from blogging and I'm not really sure why.  Everytime I would wear vintage or go somewhere exciting, I would be like "Oh, I need to take pictures to put on my blog" but wouldn't.  So much for dedication.  I haven't even been reading anyone's blog that I normally read.  Sad.  I have a lot of catching up to do.  But something exciting has happened to me in those 2 months, though....I finally have gotten my first full time job since graduating college.  I am going to be a records clerk at the sheriff's office in my county.  I will also be making about double an hour from my previous job, so maybe I will be able to actually move out of my house and live on my own...That's my goal anyways.

So, in May, my best friend got married and I was in the bridal party.  The ceremony was a traditional Catholic ceremony, but the reception was Indian and it was literally the most fun I have had at a wedding.  Everything was so bright and colorful and lively.  I'm not usually one for dancing but I think I danced for 4 hours straight.  I was so excited for her and I only cried once.  I was so proud!

LOVE,

At the Zoo

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay (their waterpark).  The Columbus Zoo is the best Zoo in the country, or at least that's what the commercials say :D  It is a really neat zoo to go to, so if you are ever in Ohio, definitely make a stop there!  The way they have each of the different continent areas set up is soooo neat and different.  Plus, they have polar bears back!  Woo Hoo.  Who doesn't love themselves a couple of polar bears?  Of course, nothing beats out the cuteness of Penguins and Manatees...my 2 favorite animals.  Someday I'll have to show yall my collection of penguins.  After Zoombezi Bay we made some grilled fish for dinner and then went out to German Village in Columbus and watched a free performance of The Scarlett Pimpernel put on in the park.  It was a very fun way to end the evening of a very busy day!

And last but not least, a quick pic of the play we saw.  I am still trying to figure out my stupid camera for night time picture, so please forgive the bluryness 

Love,
