Black & White Bows

Hi Lovelies!

I don’t know if you have all met Hayley from A Beautiful Exchange  or Lauren from The Albrecht’s Blog, but they are starting an awesome new link up in order to get to know other bloggers! I am so excited that this is the first week! Today’s prompt for the link up is to share a photo of yourself and list 3 things that you love about yourself! Click here to see the link up and enjoy! The outfit pictures below will have to suffice for the photo of me:) Anyways, here goes nothing…3 things that I love about myself:

1. For lack of a better word, my guts– I have decided to do this crazy thing called blogging. I think that takes some major guts. I am putting myself out there for the entire world to see and judge and I’m okay with that. At the beginning I was really self-conscious and didn’t want people that I know to see my blog….then finally I just embraced it and let go of all those negative feelings. If people are going to judge me negatively for my blog then I don’t need them anyways:) And 90% of the people who see it don’t know me in real life anyways, so who cares if they judge.

2. My ability to love– I’ve got a whole lot of love to give. If you are special to me, you can guarantee that I will love you with everything I have. A lot of people don’t really even have the ability to love, at least not as strongly as others. Sometimes this trait ends up hurting me, but in the end getting love from people in return is worth the pain others give.

3. This one is going to be the superficial one…lol…my hair– I’m pretty sure I am the only woman on the planet who doesn’t hate her hair. I like the color, the texture, that it will pretty much do anything I want…and I love that it grows like a weed:)

Well, that’s all folks…3 things I love about myself! Now, on to the outfit of the day…

Hi Lovelies!

I am the type of person who doesn’t like to be myself. Even if Wes is in the other room working on something and I am watching TV, it’s just nice to have someone there, it feels less lonely. So, when he bought a plane ticket to Michigan to see his friends for 5 days, I was less than excited to spend those 5 days at home, alone.

Luckily for me my parents decided that they needed to see my uncle’s new farm that same weekend! They came down late Friday night and stayed Saturday night after our adventure to the farm and left very early Sunday morning. This left me with Thursday night, most of Friday night, Sunday, and Monday all to myself. The first night, I will admit, I was lonely. Sophie and I cuddled up and watched Harry Potter in bed. Every creaky noise I heard freaked me out and I slept with the TV on all night. I did not like it. Friday and Saturday night my parents were here with me so I didn’t feel so alone. But, by late Sunday night I had kind of settled in to the quiet. I may have even learned a little bit about myself…maybe being alone wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am SO glad I have a husband. It’s nice to have someone to come home to after a hard days work and to have someone to cuddle up with to watch a movie. It’s nice to fall asleep beside the one you love…but I did enjoy a little alone time. As much as I thought I hated it, it can actually be a little bit nice. I read, I watched what I wanted to on TV, I went to sleep when I wanted to, I listened to my country music and I listened to it loudly…I got to have a little me time. I even took some blog pictures of myself (see above)….I kind of had the single girl life for a couple of days.

I guess the moral of my story is that being alone can seem scary, but I think that every once in a while it is good for you. I had a chance to really think about things and do things that I like, but don’t always do when there are people there. I felt “free as a bird”, if you will. (See how I tied that in there? That whole bird thing? Like the shirt….(PS: I also wore this shirt here in an entirely different way….)

Well, as free as I might have felt, I am still SO glad Wes came home last night. It’s nice to have another person around…Are you the type who always has to be around someone or do you enjoy your alone time?

Until tomorrow…
