Skirts and caps

Today my littlest step-sister graduated high school! It's so crazy that she is 18 years old, graduated, has her CNA certification and is getting married next year. I'm really proud of her.
Graduation ceremonies are pretty dang boring though, I remember sitting through mine but I don't remember a single speech. I think someone quoted Dr. Seuss? I think it's great to celebrate academic achievement, and to have the class valedictorian speak. It's just a lot to sit through. Especially when the building is sweltering hot.
Not to mention Mekaila's last name starts with a T so we had to sit through a whole list of A-S's that we don't even know. But hey, they're someone's kid! So, 'grats class of 2014!

I loved this outfit a lot. I had been looking everywhere for a tulle skirt that was calf length, with absolutely no luck. Because I refused to spend $40 + on it. I was searching online and found this adorable one on Ebay for only $10! I love it so much I want to buy another.

Thursday Things


  • My most favorite cookie Mrs. Fields has to offer. Chocolate chip with coconut and macadamia nuts. Yum. And since I'm a mall employee I can get a cookie and a large drink for only $2. Score.
  • Ever had a song get stuck in your head and stay there for the entire day? Oh yes, that would be this one that happened to me today. Normally when I get a song stuck in my head I'll jam to it, but I was at work all day and I couldn't. So I just doodled the lyrics and sang to myself on lunch.
  • Sunburned little brother. They had field day at school and it sounded like a blast! Tomorrow is his very last day as a kindergartener. Whoah.
  • One of my mom's oldest and best friends had her oldest son graduate from high school today! Tyler is such a sweet boy, and I'm so proud of him. It's crazy though because I still feel like he should be the little boy I remember seeing. I can't believe he's a high school graduate. Con'grads' Tyler!
  • Speaking of graduating, my other little bro is graduating from the 6th grade tomorrow. I'm glad I'll get to go watch with my mom {I told him I'd cheer really loud and embarrass him...he wasn't too fond of that idea ha!} I can't believe he's starting to grow up, and will be a teenager soon. Next year he'll start Jr. High and I don't know what to think of that! It freaks me out to see my brothers so grown up.
    Also: Stella felt left out and had to be included in the photo, haha.
Goodnight :)
