short hair and sunburns that never fade.

Dress: asos.com / Shoes: 6pm.com $7 on sale! 

I have a confession: I actually wore this dress a couple of Sundays ago.... But, where I still had pre-short hair pictures left, and a lot of my looks these days consist of leggings and very stretchy skirts, I felt justified in waiting. 

Looking at this picture, I'm beginning to wonder if my legs will ever not look sunburned again. I mean it was March when I got that burn! MARCH I tell you! Where is the justice in that? And I was wearing sunblock. SPF 50. Mother nature is so cruel.

I do realize that while this dress may not be the most practical thing to wear in the middle of the summer, it is incredibly stretchy.

And at this point, stretchy wins out.

More Asos...

sometimes...

meaning pretty much all the time, real life is so much better than virtual life. I apologize for being so absent of late. I've been taking care of some important craziness and emergencies and spending some much needed time with my wonderful family and husband. Who just started chemistry and anatomy this week. which means I pretty much won't see him again until April. But at least I'll have this post to remind me of the good old days...

Leaving for Texas...

Running a family mandated 5k in 31 minutes...  

(Not too shabby for a girl who had even run for a few months.)

And stuffing ourselves with pizza immediatly afterwords...

(I guess everything is bigger in Texas)

I love evenings like this. With the holiday season officially in full swing, and in celebration, Justin and I are watching our newly received Harry Potter Blu-rays. I love watching the first few movies, when the actors are all still so young. Adorable. 

Cuddling up, watching moves and drinking hot chocolate and egg nog. The perfect holiday tradition. And I love family traditions.

And Justin brought me home a PIE! I love this man.
