Fashion Challenge

I would like a few new outfits for the summer and since i feel like I'm far from the fashion scene and knowing whats in style and I've developed a weird relationship with money I'm gonna be extremely creative with how i go about getting these few outfits. First off I haven't yet picked out the wardrobes i like but I'll be scanning the Internet and sites that i like to pick out a few got to have getup's. But instead of ordering or running to the nearest department store I'm gonna update what i have and then hit some thrift shops and favorite discounters for the rest. All of my looks will be modest and appropriate but hopefully very trendy and something different from my everyday jeans and a t-shirt look. I haven't come up with a price limit but I will be posting what everything cost, how and where i found it and maybe it'll stir up some creative juices for you also. Who doesn't like a challenge? FYI if you've seen something that you think would be a great summer look send me a link I'm completely open for suggestions :) (if you want to join in and find an outfit too be my guest and let me know and I'll post a link to your page also)

My Thoughts

For some reason the past few days I've felt like I've accomplished all of the major milestones in life and now I'm just filling in the blank until grandchildren... who thinks that way? Graduate from High school, Check; Go to school and get a trade in something you like, Check; Move out, Check; Get Married, Check; Buy a house, Check; Have babies, Check; then what comes next? I know the options are limitless but as far as milestones i feel like I've hit all the big ones. Raising children doesn't always have milestones that you can just check off, each day is a new rendition of the last and i seriously need to make some more goals or I'm gonna lose my mind. I'm no where close to perfect, but i look at what i have and i pretty much have it made, the potential to have an influence for good is there and i obviously need to be more busy and involved in life. There really is so much to learn and to practice that I could honestly be actively engaged in something all of the time, I just want to shift my focus from myself to those around me and share the good that i have in my life so that others may have the same comfort, stability, and truth that brings about a personal peace. For starters I'd like you all to know that I love my religion which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I know that it is the only true church on the earth today, It is headed by a Prophet namely Thomas S. Monson who receives direct revelation from a loving Heavenly Father and he leads and guides the church with this modern day revelation, I believe in personal revelation and I know that when I am in need of any help, comfort or direction in my own life I am able to pray to my Heavenly Father who listens and answers my prayers. I know that the Prophet Joseph Smith saw God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ and he restored the Gospel to the earth by their direction. I've read the Book Of Mormon, I have a testimony of it and know that it is true and offers so much guidance for us in this world today. I have a desire to read the Bible cover to cover and I'm working on it, I don't know everything and I've got a lot to learn, but as far as the basics of who I am and where I come from and hopefully where I'm going, I am at peace with all of those questions because I've known the answers most of my life. If any of you out there are struggling with where you fit in and how to find joy and peace I'd love for you to either ask me or better yet check out any of the websites that the church has set up for all of these questions. Here are some links to direct you there -
http://www.mormon.org
http://www.lds.org/
They are both great websites with gobs of information and resources, Thanks for letting me share something so close to my heart.
