The past week, via photos.

This past week I:

Took pictures of dice while Trent taught a class. And yes, I was still paying attention.

This is Daniel. He's great. Except for when he takes pictures of me.  

 Rancho Grande. Great food. 

 Emily Paige. I heart her. 

 Aim flag ceremony. So proud of Hannah.

 Sitting area in Cafe Sol

 I have to say, bet candid shot ever. I love his expression in this pic.

 The lovely Miss Karyn.

 Amazing brother/sister duet. 

 "Coffee" drinkers. 

 They danced, alot. And it was adorable. 

 Me and the lovely Karyn

 Brianna Gaither! Such an amazing voice (and hair, just saying).

 Happy Birthday Daddy!

 We kinda failed...... Epically. Ok, I failed epically. 

 My adorable mommy and daddy. 

 My version of a birthday card.

 Something my mom has been working on (although, this is one that my mom's friend made..). And when I took this pic was when I realized that my camera was capable of live view! Which made sooo many pics I took today possible, and I will share them tomorrow. 

 This week's challenge: wear jeans the whole school week. This was Tuesday, and below is Wednesday. I made it through Thursday, although I don't have Monday or Thursday pictured. And Friday came, and I snapped. I just couldn't do it. My dresses called to me. 

 On Wednesday we went to Genghis Grill to celebrate my daddy's birthday (and to raise money for my prom! Woot!). And it was super good. I tried the tofu, and I actually liked it. The texture wasn't what I expected, but it was still good. 

Tomorrow I am planning a HUGE post of what I did all day today, and how much fun I had. So... stay tuned! 

What all have you been doing in the past week?

Oh life.

This week has been so busy. I've had so many plans, but the only thing I wanted to do after I did my work was just not do anything productive. Which is what I did.
I wasted time on the computer.
I applied for a college (can you guess which one?)
I did quite a bit of yoga.
I ate cake. It was super good.
I also ate jellybeans. They were good too.
I held my kitten a lot.
I took showers super early.
I got super inspired for The Cat's Meow (eek!).
I celebrated my daddy's birthday.
I ate some amazing Mongolian food.
I did a buttload of yoga (which, in my book, is quite productive).
I dreamed.
So tomorrow, I'm planning on doing an actual real post. And Saturday too. So, look forward to that, ok?

Goals for the week.

Danielle from Sometimes Sweet did a "One week to a better me" post, and encouraged us to set five goals for ourselves this week, so that's what I'm going to do!
My weekly goals:
1. Start my daily bible reading again, and not worry about catching up, but enjoying being in God's word.
2. Feel beautiful every day this week
3. Be creative daily
4. Do yoga every day, even if Whitney can't do it with me.
5. Work on my soon-to-be Etsy store.
What are your goals for this week?

Every Good Thing Must Come to an End.

The end of spring break. I'm honestly not looking forward to it. But I am looking forward to what the end of this school year will hold.
This weekend I finally did some spring cleaning, and cleaned off my craft desk. On Friday I had a lovely coffee date with Whitney, and then we went to the mall, and got dresses and some fun jewelry. I love our little dates shopping and going to get coffee with her.
So I'm kinda excited about a lot of things that will be coming up in this next year.
I don't have much to talk about now, but I'm just thinking about what's coming up.
Have a great week!
XOXO, Abbey Elizabeth

The Long Wait Is Over.

Yesterday was kinda a big day. I finally, FINALLY got my permit.
It was kinda a big deal. A much overdue big day, actually. By about 2 years, almost.
So, I'm really excited. And I drove for an hour today. And it was fun!
After I got my permit, and after church, we made a quick stop at Kum-N-Go, and I got some Naked Juice, something I really really really love.

And then I finished off the night with some cinnamon-sugar poptarts.
It was a pretty good day.
Hope that your week has been lovely.
XOXO, Abbey Elizabeth.

Food.

I've kinda noticed lately that a lot of my posts are about food... And what can I say? I like food. It's good. It's fun to make. Maybe I'm a little bit of a food nerd. But who cares?
Anyways, the other day I had a total vegan lunch, and I was quite proud of myself.

 I had carrot chips with hummus, and wasabi peas. I just recently discovered wasabi peas when my mom brought them home last week, and man, they are good. But have a major kick to them.

 I also pureed up some strawberries and bananas, kinda making my own rendition of Naked Juice, which I plan to expand upon soon.

 Oh my. So, this is sorta a family tradition. Ok, it's totally a tradition. Starburst jellybeans. The best. Ever. Go get some. They will make your Easter experience complete.

And mommy and I put together a cupcake puzzle, and honestly, I did not enjoy putting the puzzle together. But, I did enjoy the movies and spending time with mom.
Today, mom and I headed up to Catoosa and had lunch with my grandparents at this cute little lunch spot called The Pecan Porch. I had their All Veggie sandwich on a croissant, which was swiss, provolone, and cheddar cheese, with romaine lettuce, and vidalia onion dressing. Soo good. And they have the BEST cookies. Nice to know that there are such great lunch venues that my grandparents love near them, and my future college!
What good food has been enchanting you this week?
XOXO, Abbey Elizabeth.

Sigh.

So, I always plan to post about things.. and then I get caught up doing other things, and then it's time for bed... And basically, I never post things when I plan to. 

Mais, c'est la vie, non?

Anyways, I was going to blog about this weekend today, but I guess that will just have to happen tomorrow, right? I'm feeling a whole lot better than I was earlier, and cannot wait for an exceptional spring break. Tomorrow, I am planning on:

1. Studying for my permit test

2. Planning an oh-so-fabulous Mardi Gras party

3. Doing some project restyling

4. Shopping for vintage fabrics for projects this summer

5. Reorganizing my huge blue cabinet in my room.. and my closet.. and nightstand... and dresser.. and craft table.. and....... (you get the picture)

6. And maybe do some spring cleaning. 

Just a little side note... I am being sooooo inspired by this lovely lady right now. 

I am inspired by her so simple, yet beautiful fashion. And those EYES! How can you not love her eye make up? It makes me just swoon, and want to go buy fake eyelashes and do my make up like this every day!

Isn't she adorable?

Ok. Well, that's all I have for tonight. 

Lots of love, and sweet dreams!
