HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Despite the mood of these pictures, my day has been quite sunny thus far.

After a long and productive day of class, I plan to settle into a bubble bath, sippy sippy on some wine, and paint my nails the deepest and darkest shade of red I can find.

Birthday!!!

It's my birthday week and I feel so grateful to my friends for being either as excited or more excited than I am about the occasion!!  I went to Beauty Bar with (forgive me for listing but I want to remember) Stu, Diana, Aaron, Morgan, Ned, Spen, Casey, John Paul, Jesse, Jeremiah, Andrew, Caleb, Meg, and Tim and we had a glorious time.  Tuesday night is not exactly the wildest night of the week but I had a perfectly mellow time with the folks I most wanted to be there.

Casey bought me a mani (gold with silver sparkles) and I sipped away the night with a fancy drank called "Beauty School Dropout."

I'm excited to continue the festivities with a little ski-venture with my brothers this weekend!!!

Black on black...

Wish I would have gotten a picture of this outfit.  

The different layers and fabrics of black on black were just what I needed for a dramatic trip to the library.

Stock Show...

Had some good luck at the thrift store the other day and decided to build my outfit for the stock show around these amazing RL high-waisted chords and some two-toned riding boots from way back when.  The stock show is always a big event.  I had the absolute best time petting horses, various baby animals, and catching up with old pals.
