Polka Dot Twirl

What I Wore: TUM Showcase Event

Happy New Week, Loves!! Hope you guys had an amazing and blessed weekend. Mine was somewhat eventful, did some sewing of course, shopping, went to a friend's bowling party, church on Sunday, and attended The Urban Marketplace (TUM) showcase event.

I wore this beautiful polka dot dress (details at the bottom) and pair it with one of my favorite red shoes. Before I go on, I did not make this dress. This dress was so comfortable and fun to wear, I had to blog about it. It was definitely twirl-worthy and I couldn't stop twirling. :)

Quick Note/Note to Self: DO NOT WORRY (Matthew 6:25-34)

So I wanted to share this passage with you guys because it is something that has helped me over the years and continues to help me. And they preached about it at church yesterday, so it was a perfect reminder for me. The thing is that I am not a worrier, at least I try not to be. I usually just pray about things and leave in God's hands. These verses especially are my reminder that I shouldn't worry about anything; not about my life/family/job, what I'll eat/wear, where I'll sleep, if I'll have money to pay for something, if I'll get re-married, and definitely not about my future ...This passage is a reminder that God knows ALL of my needs and He will provide these things for me as long as I Seek HIM First. So please, read those verses over and over if you have to and whenever you feel like you're starting to worry about something, read it again. I promise you it will change your life and those around you.

Okay, back to twirling...

Travel: Akron/Cleveland, Ohio

For those that do not know, I went to school in Ohio. I attended The University of Akron (Go Zips!!!) and graduated in 2005. 2.5 years after graduation I moved from Ohio to Virginia. Because I have developed lifetime friendship with some of my college friends and I have a goddaughter that resides in Akron, Ohio, I still visit Ohio at least once every 2 years. It used to be once a year, but most of my friends have moved away from there to other states. Since I graduated, I never really been back on campus. I hear about all the changes (like new football field, buildings, gym...) they've made on campus but I haven't really seen it. So for the 4th of July weekend, I decided to take the Mr. on a tour of my old stomping ground, since he has never been to Ohio. This also gave me the chance to see all the changes that have been made on campus.

What I Wore: 4th of July

Hello Everyone!! Hope you guys had an awesome weekend.. I'm still recovering from mine. As I mentioned in my previous post (Electric Summer), I went to Ohio for the weekend. I'm still working on the "travel" post for that trip. It was a fun and somewhat educational trip. Learned a lot about football, toured my Alma Mater (The University of Akron) and met up with friends in downtown Cleveland.
