6: Cleaning & Packing

Well I would have liked today's picture to be of my dinner as Chase and I went to his parent's tonight and his mom always makes something fabulous, but alas I didn't think to snap one with my camera phone, so instead, today's picture is of boxes.

In preparation for moving out after Chase and I get married in March, I have been trying to get a start on going through boxes of stuff and clean out things I don't want to keep, and organize the things I do want to keep. So this bottom blue storage tub is filled halfway with year books, mostly from high school, a couple from middle school, and one from elementary school, and the other half is filled with 3-ring binders with sheets protectors in them. In the sheet protectors are old mementos and other things like birthday cards, miscellaneous pictures, notes from friends, awards I received over the years in school and other things like that. The top, green and white box is mostly books and picture frames.

I cleaned out a big box of misc items on my windowsill, both of the top shelves in my closet, and went through my little file drawer with important papers and such so I feel like I've gotten a good chunk of it all done, but there is still more to go.

5: Horses & Oranges

Okay my picture for today is just one from my cell phone so not exactly hi-res but still it's a picture. Today Chase and I went to Mesa to see our friends out there. We met up at Brenda King Harmon's parent's house and got all saddled up with Brenda & Cameron, and Keirstin & Brady Weston and had a nice horse ride over to a place called The Orange Patch. They sell all kinds of citrus and have ice cream and fun candies too. It was a fun time, even if I am a little saddle-sore. :)

4: Happy Strangers - Smiley Faces

Something I LOVE is happy strangers. You can ALWAYS tell the difference between someone who means it when they say "How are you?" or "Have a nice day!" and someone who doesn't. It's on their face and in their voice. I love it when someone at a store or other place where I am greets me or helps me with genuine interest and happiness. I love it when I go through the drive through at the bank and the person on the other end comments on my name or when they ask me how I'm doing they wait for me to respond and respond to my actual answer as opposed to a quick, "good" that cuts me off halfway through my "great." It is these people that I know are happy with their life and can't help but let it spill into other's.
Today my picture is my receipt from the bank, the man drew me a smiley face and it made my day. :-P

3: Black Bow

Okay today's picture is of course one of the clips I made last night. I wore the black bow today. :)

2: Clips, flowers & bows

Okay so today I was feeling crafty and bought some clips and some flowers and other things to make clips for my hair. I made quite a mess digging into my mom's button and ribbon collections but it was fun and I'm excited to wear them. :)

 

These are the little clips I bought at Sally Beauty Supply. They work great!

1: Shampoo

Okay I'm gonna try this again. We'll see how I do. :)

I like trying different kinds/brands of shampoo and conditioner just for fun and to see how I like them. Recently I bought this stuff, and let me tell you- it smells amazing. I love pomegranate and now my hair can smell just as good? awesome.
