Our life as of Late

All week this is what I have been doing:



All week Dan has been doing this:



I haven't spent any time with my husband since Sunday. :( I hate being this busy. I haven't read a book just for fun in a really long time. I even have this big long list of books that I can't wait to read and am so excited about, but there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. I feel like I'm being stretched too thin, and even when I start feeling this way I look at Dan and then feel bad that I am feeling sorry for myself. Because even though I am feeling overwhelmed, he is easily twice as much so as me. I just wish that we could sit and talk for a while or cuddle and watch a movie. We haven't done any of that in ages. I can't wait for this weekend because we are going to go to the temple on Saturday, which will give us plenty of quality time in the car, and on Sundays we get to relax and hang out. I am really just missing him and missing recreational fun. That's all my complaining for now.

AE blue v-neck sweater, grey DownEast lace cami, grey half-jacket thingie, AE skinny jeans, black Ugg boots

Nothing too great about this one. I haven't worn this little grey jacket in a while and was trying to think of a way to incorporate it somehow, so here you go. I had to see the lady doctor today and was in school until 3, so I mostly just wanted to be comfortable. Sorry that this outfit is a little weird and is somewhat dull, but it was really comfortable. You've no idea.

On that note, can we just talk about my Ugg boots for a second? I have resisted getting them forever because I think that they are hideously ugly. Seriously. Not to mention all the girls in all the sororities wear them, which instantly makes me not want them. But, this semester I have to walk about a mile every other morning to get to a class and I had no shoes that were comfortable enough and warm enough for this venture. And so, I caved and finally bought some Uggs. We now have a love/hate relationship. I still think they are ugly, but man are they just the most comfortable thing I own. They are great for walking long distances and even when it's freezing outside my toes are toasty warm. Anywho, that's my speal.

Turtleneck white sweater that I haven't touched in over a year, AE skinny jeans, brown boots

It was so cold today, so most of my pictures with this outfit looked like this. oh well. This one was inspired by my cousin's day four outfit, even though hers is soooo much cuter.

Today was pretty uneventful. But, here is my TO-DO list:
-go to the bank and get quarters
-do the laundry
-start on book report
-write a response paper
-start revision of last response paper
-read Alice in Wonderland
-make dinner
-go to bed

The End

Sleeping

So, last night I woke up at like 1:30 and Dan was literally sleeping on my pillow and almost pushing me off the bed. He has never done anything like this before, usually we keep to our sides and everyone is happy. I have a really hard time sleeping if someone is touching me at all, so this woke me up completely because he was cuddling with me and I was overheated. It would have been adorable if it wasn't so obnoxious. Because of this, I couldn't go back to sleep. I tried desperately to push him back over to his pillow and everything, but he is a stubborn little bugger. Needless to say, I didn't get back to sleep until almost 3 and I spent most of my time on the couch. Silly husband.

American Eagle V-Neck long sleeve shirt, cardigan from Target, favorite American Eagle blue jeans, (Not pictured: shoes- FAVORITE moccasins)

So... I forgot I had all of these things (except the jeans and moccasins) and so I wore them today, because that's the whole point of this right? To wear things that you don't wear all the time. Today was really cold and it snowed a lot last night, so I wanted to be warm and comfortable.

Also Today:
-I had a terrible headache
- was in school until 5
-decided that nowhere in my apartment takes good pictures, hence the outside
-slid on the ice outside the building of my first class and fell. hard.
-I have about a million more things to do tonight and it's only 6pm.

So far, so good. lol. It's going to be a great week!

Calvin Klein sweater dress, brown boots

I just have to say that this is a lot of fun. And, it's nice to not have to think of something witty to be the subject on my posts. This challenge is forcing me to dress better and do my hair, which is definitely a good thing. lol. Also, can I just talk about Dan for a second? Could he be any cuter? He is almost as excited about this as I am. He keeps asking me what I am going to wear next and if he can take my picture. He is my own personal photographer. It's super cute. So, here is Dan's Sunday outfit.

Rodeo

So, last night we went to the K-State rodeo. Let me just preface this by saying that I LOVE rodeos. I go to this one every year, and I grew up in Texas going to rodeos, so it's in my blood. It was so much fun and the best part was being able to hang out with some people I haven't seen in a while. The bull riding is always the favorite event, but all of it was so much fun to watch. The people in rodeos are so insane and completely fearless, which actually makes it more fun to watch. I love the event where one guy jumps off his horse onto a steer and tackles it. Totally awesome. Here are some pictures. I didn't get any good action pictures and most of the pictures of people turned out blurry. Oh well.




On a completely different note:

My super awesome cousin, Jessica, is doing a 30 day wardrobe challenge because her husband doesn't think she wears everything she owns. So, I decided to try and do this with her. I doubt I will make it 30 days, but there are a lot of things in my closet I haven't worn in a LONG time, and it might be really fun. This picture is super awkward and I didn't know what to do with my hands, but oh well.
