The Return of Awkward+ Awesome/ Shirt Dress! / Announcement

  I must confess that though it is the weekend, this post was originally started on Monday. Yes, I've had a rather busy week, mainly centered on Vacation Bible School! Now, however, I'm enjoying a restful Saturday of blogging, Netflix, Pinterest, and hopefully, a walk. On to the Awk and Awes!

VBS Snacks

Awkward:
* (More unpleasant than awkward) Getting bitten by mosquitoes on my front lawn.
* Talking to friends and gesturing with my hand while holding a cup of juice. Needless to say, the juice ended up on the floor.
* Having the memory of a goldfish sometimes.
* Stepping on my dog. Jumping onto my bed and kicking the dog, who had made himself a nest in the covers. Poor creature. :P
* Getting the addresses of the girls I counseled for, but forgetting to get their last names. Still works!

Awesome:
* Teaching and helping out at our church's Vacation Bible School! 
* Attending a sweet wedding last weekend.
* Having a girl's day out with three lovely ladies.
* Laughing with friends and family and a silly little dog (okay, maybe laughing at the dog) at various points throughout the week.
* Drinking hot chocolate my Dad brought me from a drive thru this morning. That's always a high point in the day for me.

   On our trip in June, I bought this shirt dress dress for about two dollars on Clearance at Old Navy. Last weekend, I wore it to an outdoor wedding. Mom let me borrow her tangerine colored scarf to wear as a belt, jazzing up the outfit a little bit. Flat, striped shoes were my soles of choice, as the wedding invitation advised against heels. The fanciest part of this outfit was my hair, inspired by a Pinterest updo. It is basically the French braided side bun I like so well, with the addition of a small braid going across the back of my head. A fabric flower pin completed the look, as well as hiding ends of my braid!

  Now for my announcement! In five posts, I will have reached my 100th post! Woohoo! To celebrate, I would like to do something that Calico Sisters and Living and Dressing for My Savoir did for their 100th posts. I would like to do a Q&A with my readers, which I will post in a celebratory post. You can ask me about my favorite color, book of the Bible, movie recommendations, what tricks I taught my dog, or ask me to do a hair tutorial...be creative. :) My only requests are that 1) all questions are appropriate - I withhold the right not to include questions which I don't feel need to be here and that 2) you don't ask anything too personal, such as the city I live in or who the last person that annoyed me was. :P I look forward to getting to know each other better! :) I am opening the blog to questions starting with this post and continuing for the next four posts.

May the Lord bless your Sunday and draw you closer to Himself!

" Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
