Orts in Montana

Fashion show day :)! I've been encouraged by Sarah Mae's gracious, encouraging words on her blog (see link above). I'm still open to learning more on the topic of modesty, but I'm usually put off by the condemning attitude of some. Her thoughts over the last few days have been kindly and lovingly presented, and I'm feeling much more receptive to thinking about the topic ;)! Today, she hosted a fashion show, so Kara and I attempted to join in. It is a little difficult to take pics of yourselves (especially with the dog and little brother trying to enter the scene :)! I LOVE jeans - not too fond of tights . . . So living in Montana, I've started a fun habit of pairing my jeans or slacks with skirts or dresses. Last Sunday, I even put a gray wool dress with a black sweater over my jeans. Maybe a bit quirky, but I like it :)! This skirt was a thrift store find (my favorite place to shop) which couldn't be mended, so it had to be cut off. It's a bit short on it's own, but on top of my jeans, it works. I would also wear this jean jacket everyday if it didn't get dirty!! I love to layer!
I've also joined her 5:16 club. I think God must like the idea of me getting up early, too, because either Hazel (the dog) or Simon wake me each morning before my alarm (causing me to get out of bed instead of hitting snooze). Gratefully, Simon seems to fall right back to sleep, so I still have time to read my Bible and peacefully drink my coffee (free tip: grind the coffee the night before, if you don't want the whole house to awake with you).
