Transition...

This was written last week:
I can't wait for this week to be OVER.  And by this week I mean get me past my big test on Thursday and on to sipping 'tinis at Beauty Bar with some gals.  I've just been so behind in this one class and now it has come down to reading all of Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad in one day.  I must just love to torture myself.
Anywhoo, just a short gripe today so I can post a favorite transition outfit I've worn constantly during the unusual heat of September and October.  Love/hate me some Denver weather!!

Details:

Hat: Target (men's section)

Sunnies: F21

Necklace: Target

Dress: Target

Belt: F21

Purse: Zara

Shoes: Nine West

Watch: Target

OH YA GET EXCITED!!

Here are the top 10 things I'm excited about right now:
1.) My mom is coming for a short visit next week.
2.) Jeremiah and I are going to buy a BETTA FISH!!  A yellow one.  And we shall call him Lancelot.  This is seemingly random but I'm taking a Biology course and we worked with Betta fish in our lab today and I've fallen in love.  With fish.  Only with Bettas though; the others are fugly.
3.)  THE BALLET!  J and I will be going to Swan Lake sometime in the upcoming weeks which means I will get to debut my "ballet dress."  So excited.
4.)  Iliff picnic.  This is more something Jeremiah is excited about but I'm looking forward to meeting all the professors he talks about so much at his grad school's picnic.
5.)  Thanksgiving.  My family will be in town.  Jeremiah's family will be in town.  It shall be grand.
6.)  Getting a job.  I want to get a job either as a writing tutor or little kid watcher.  That sound creepy; let me rephrase:  I want to be a babysitter.  I miss having little kids around.  The only ones I know now are my professors kids and that would be too weird to be like "hey, can I babysit yer kids???"
I like kids.  They view the world in an inspiring way.
7.)  Lipstick.  And lipgloss.  And EOS chapstick.
8.)  The Mountains.  I miss being cold so J and I will be headed there ASAP.  We've been needing a break from Denver anyway.
9.)  New furniture.  Just as soon as I get some cash-flow flowin' I'll be channeling my inner-most thrift-master and decorating some of the rooms in the house.  The most exciting room in my opinion will be the "shoe, clothing, make-up, project runway marathon and martini room (girls only)."  OH FUN!!
10.)  School.  School is the best and if I could be a student for the rest of my life I would.  Becoming a teacher is the closest way I can come to staying in school for forever and I love the progress I've made thus far.

Moments...

I hate having pictures slip through the cracks so this kind of post is perfect to share all those random moments.  Spencer said to me the other night, "Girl, you will take a picture of anything!" and it's true!  I have such a horrible memory I feel like I need to capture things on film and blog blog blog so these memories don't escape out my ears.  SO, for your viewing pleasure...

This is from right after I got back to the states from Italy.  This is my super stylish friend, Meredith.  I'm kinda obsessed with her necklace right here.

This is a whole group of picture I forgot to post from July??  Botanic Gardens with Adam and Ashley!!!

 I had never been... we had such a fantastic time!

 Hairy tree!!!  Adam and I liked this one.

 Fourth of July!!

 I'm wondering if this was the same day as Botanic Gardens as we're wearing the exact same outfits...  curious.

 J and I had the best seats ever.

More Fourth fun... Bocce ball in Cheeseman park.

 Before Shane and Mike's bday party!

 This was before Beauty Bar.

 Kels and me at Beauty.

 Jeremiah's first day of grad school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, for good measure.

Our house at night (and progress on the front yard) with our Fantastic Mr. Fox who always visits.

Sun Red (Jeremiah's old band) at the Skylark.

Speaking of lost pictures.... I promise to someday share my photos from Europe.  It was such an unbelievable month of my life that I'm still digesting... and let's be honest, I'm a bit intimidated by the MASS of photos:)

Preview...

I was pretty psyched about this outfit as I combined my favorite yellow hat and the new Levi's shirt Jeremiah bought for me.  He's never bought ANY clothes for me... but said this shirt was "too cute" not to buy.  YAY!  Sorry it looks like I spat all over my mirror!  I didn't, swearsies!!!

Movies...

Jere and I have needed some relief from the serious subjects we've been learning about in school lately so we've turned to "kids" movies for laughs....  These three have been the best thus far.

Update...

HIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Here's a super unorganized update!

It's been a bit but I had to write about tonight as I just had the best time with Kelsey at Beauty Bar and Vine St.  That girl is too much fun.. we just ended up giggling the whole time typical girl-style.  Everything else has been going well too.  Jeremiah and I got some new-to-us furniture from his parents barn sale and classed up the living room and library by A LOT A LOT which has made me feel so much more at home!  My little brother said it looked like professors lived there which I WILL TAKE!!  Jeremiah and I have both been crazy busy with school but I love having a partner in crime to head to the coffee shop with for the insane amount of studying we've needed to do.  Let's see, what else is new?  My dad came for a visit and stayed with us for a couple days.  I showed him and my brother around campus and the city but what I want to show them most is the ranch.  And I especially want my dad to meet Sherman (my favorite horse in the world).  Thanksgiving will have to be the time for all that.  Today was the first cold day of fall in Denver which means I'll get to start layering!!!!  EEK!  Fashion is the best this time of year and I love drawing inspiration from people watching and experiments with my own crazy closet.  Love love love.

I feel good lately.  It's been a while.  Sorry, no details, but I've gone through a rough patch the past few months and I'm finally feeling better and better every day.  YES!  I always neglect the bloggy when I'm feeling blue or way too busy and I'm reaaaally happy the blue part of the equation is making its way outta here:)  Fab!  Here's some pics from Beauty Bar forever ago.

 Biker Biker Biker shawts!
