March happenings. I am currently blogging in my new room. Nope, not in Alaska! I switched different rooms in the house and my sis-in-law Jacky took over mine, so I moved just next door…but it’s bigger, so yay! I’m not a very big fan of rearranging furniture and remodeling rooms and my husband LOVES it, so we’ll see how he likes it when he comes home. Chances are, he’ll probably want to make a few changes. Until he’s home (around 3 weeks!!!) I’ll just enjoy it the way it is. I’m actually quite proud of the way I set it up. Maybe I’ll take some pictures.
It’s looking like for a little while I’ll be posting mostly “What I wore” photos. Mostly because I don’t really have any other pictures to post. You would think that with this new camera I would be going out and taking photos left and right. Well, I have…but only of my outfits. I haven’t really gone anywhere special lately. But things are going to start getting busier at the end of this week when I go on yet another road trip back up North. I’m going with the family to a Matthew West concert! After that, I decided to spend time in my hometown with my newly engaged best friend Ashley and my other bestie Taryne to help with some wedding plans. Then before I know it, my handsome man will be home!

As most of you remember, I went to Texas to see him for his graduation weekend and what an amazing weekend it was. But, he had curfews and had to be back at the base at 6-8pm every night so I made sure to cherish it, but it didn’t quite feel like we were reunited fully. When he comes home, it’ll be the first time we can be together and I won’t have to see him off at the end of the day. It’s been almost 5 months that we haven’t been living together. Can you believe that? I’m gonna have to give myself a big pat on the back for that. And him too, of course! Words cannot express how excited I am for us to reunite and to not have to count down until we have to say goodbye again. (Until deployment rears it’s ugly head) I miss him SO much.
So other than an outfit post, I’m writing this post to announce that I’ll soon be starting a blogger of the month series! I’m so excited about this and although my blog is small and personal and I sometimes struggle with putting myself out there, I’m looking forward to getting in touch with some of you and other bloggers and hopefully some ladies will participate! I would also like to get into guest posting too eventually, but for now I’ll start with interviewing bloggers. My first thought was to try focusing on ladies who will be willing to answer questions about young marriages…their own marriage, their opinion on marrying young, and so forth. BUT, I also follow a few mommy blogs so I’d like to go in that direction. And it’s pretty obvious that I like clothes, so I’ll be getting in touch with fashion bloggers as well. I decided to just keep it broad. I figured it would be fun to interview about different topics that more of you can relate to! A dear friend of mine, who happens to be one of my favorite bloggers is willing to be interviewed so my first blogger of the month post is already on it’s way! So excited, guys! If any of you are interested, let me know and I would love to talk interviewing you!
yay! i love when blogs do blogger of the month posts–i’ve found some of the best blogs that way.
also, can i just say how much i admire you {and your man} for all your relationship has been through? long distance is so tough and i’m so impressed at the way you go about it.
Great boots & I’m really excited for your blogger-of-the-month series!
first of all, your outfit is amazing of course!! and I definitely agree that when you’re both home together after him having curfew it’s AMAZING. I am so glad he gets to come home soon
second of all, I love your blogger of the month idea!! If you ever need one, I’d be more than happy to participate. I’m not married yet but I’ll be young and married soon
and I’m a mommy so would you look at that? haha
You’d be amazed how much time you can spend apart and how used to it you get! Seems hard to imagine until you do it.
I looove this outfit! That sweater is perfection.
Girl, I love this outfit of yours. So cute.
Just found your little blog today and it is so adorable. Great posts. Excited to be following your blog.
suzy- same here! i’m always checking out new blogs so i thought i’d help contribute
and thanks so much for the kind words!
brooke- i’m beyond excited. i know military wives always say not to count down, but counting down makes it all the more exciting, if you ask me. and i will totally get in contact with you soon! haha you’re right, interviewing you would be like killing two birds with one stone. except i really like birds so i wouldn’t do that.
sophie- i got pretty used to it already, i think. i’m sure a deployment will have a totally different feel to it, though. i’m still new to this life so i’m learning as i go
missy- thanks! and the feeling is mutual
i love your blog, i found you through amber (iloveyoutothemoon). excited for your posts!
Just want to say how much luck I wish to the two of you!!!
I got married at 20, so I would certainly help you if you ever want.
You look beautiful and I love your tam/hat that you’re wearing.
I think that is really great that you are going to connect more with bloggers. hope it goes well for you!!!
I love this outfit! It’s so comfy and chic looking.
I am IN LOVE with your outfit. It’s so simple and perfect! The detailing on the sweater is lovely.
Thank you so much Jen for your kind words!! I’m so glad I have such great blog friends who are going through the same thing!
What for was he at? My husband had his training there too. Isn’t curfew the pits. LOL. I love your bag by the way and your shoes.
Write it in lipstick
Oh goodness, I love your outfit! Having been separated from my husband through months of deployment, I feel your pain & have such a strong respect for you! We were only dating, so I can only imagine what a journey it must be to go through this while married. You two are an amazing couple! Have fun planning the wedding & hooray for your mister almost being home!
I’d love to take part in the blogger series. We married at twenty, so we too have the young marriage thing going on.
Hope you have a wonderful week!
i’m so glad i came across your blog! you are just so perfect and love love that beanie i need it!!!
You have such great style girlie! I bet you are going to be so excited to see your man. I have to hand it to you, because I don’t think I could do that! You are so strong!
Blogger of the month? Awesome idea!
I like how you’ve styled this outfit so much,looks lovely! Nice blog,just followed you!
I love your blog, i’ve had a chance to look through it today and wow! I have so much respect for you. I just don’t know if I could do the whole long distance being married( i mean i do, just not to your extent!).
I think the interviewing is brilliant. I’d be up for an interview one day if you need someone, just give me 2 more months until I get married! We’ll be venturing to the amazon for 2 months so I might have some cool stories to share.

Enter my GIVEAWAY ay-sap!
Such a pretty outfit as usual. Love the detailing on the back of the sweater.
Can’t wait for your new lil series.
:]
Berry- THANK YOU!!
Victoria- I actually thought of interviewing you. I love reading your posts and what you have to say on marriage and especially on dressing modestly. I’m definitely going to get in contact with you and possibly ask to interview you on both subjects
Brooke- That’s what I’m here for! And thank you for doing the same
Melissa- He’s in VA for tech school to finish up the last bit of training. And yes, curfew was SO not fun haha. And thank you!
Sarah- I had no idea your husband used to be in the military! I’m assuming he’s not anymore, right? It has definitely been a journey for us. Thank you for the encouraging and kind words, you are so sweet
I’m definitely going to keep in touch about interviewing you, you are one of my favorite blog ladies!
Brittany- Wow, so I’m gonna take that as a huge compliment because I LOVE your blog and photos. Thank you
Jennifer- Thanks girl! And seriously…words cannot describe how excited I am!
Breanne- Actually, I think it would be cool to interview someone who’s engaged and going through the process of planning so maybe I won’t wait two months! Hehe. Thanks for following me back
Congrats and have a fun and stress-free time planning your wonderful wedding! I’m looking forward to your posts!
Candace- $20 at Target

Hey! I just recently discovered your blog from google. I was actually on a mad search to find where the bag was from lol! I still have trouble finding it though. Would you happen to know the brand of the bag or its make? It would be extremely helpful because I feel like I’ve been glued to this computer trying to find it! haha
