The Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga

So my lack of post yesterday is not my fault.... blogger was acting up and wouldn't let me sign in. Anyway, its been a busy couple of days of packing things up to get ready for the move. We're gonna drive up to the apartment this weekend to take a car full of stuff and so the hubster can finally see it! I have packed up most of the kitchen appliances and things that we received as wedding presents that haven't been used much yet (or may still be in their original box), boxes of stuff from the study that I haven't needed for the past few months, the entire front closet of winter coats and christmas/thanksgiving decorations, and some pictures and decorations that we don't need to have here now. The more stuff I can go through now and get packed up the better for the actual move.
(Taking a break from packing to go to zumba.... Corona t-shirt and a ponytail)

Today was my last Zumba class in Lewisburg. It was a great class and we had cookie cake to celebrate (sort of eating the calories back that we just burned lol). I'll miss those zumbies!

I also started going through my wardrobe to see what outfits I can make. Sometimes I'm just not feeling creative in the morning or before I need to get dressed, if I haven't thought about it ahead of time. I also love checking out other blogs and getting ideas of what works well together... however sometimes I don't have the same pieces or it just doesn't look good on me as it does on other bloggers, but the inspiration is very helpful. I'm excited to show you what I've put together! This outfit is one that I will wait to wear till the fall, but I was inspired by Jessica from What I Wore. Its all about the classics, which is something I'm always fan of. Here's my take on it:
Peacoat: J. Crew / Shirt: Peebles / Jeans: Gap / Heels: Shoe Show


And here's the dinner that I made last night. I make a mean spaghetti. Now what is that supposed to mean.... making a mean dinner? It was seriously awesome. I kick butt at sauce :)

Back to packing, organizing, cleaning, and catching the American Idol finale!

Everybody by Ingrid Michaelson

A day of cleaning, errands, and relaxing in the sun, a BBQ, and watching The Bachelorette. Cute and comfortable all the way. 
Shirt, Jeans, Watch: American Eagle / Shoes: Toms




And here are the photos from the reenactment:

Union vs. Confederate
*History Lesson* The Battle of Lewisburg was fought at 5:30am on May 23rd, 1857 for half an hour. The Union won this particular battle and chased the Confederate to Richmond till the Confederate burned a bridge so the Union could no longer come after them.

Tent and fire... where they camp out for the weekend

Under The Boardwalk by The Drifters

Today I went to see the reenactment of the Battle of Lewisburg with some friends. I went last year and was excited to see it again. The union won this battle that originally took place at 5:30am and lasted for 30 minutes. It now takes place at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon in the same place where it was in 1862. I took a bunch of pictures, which I will try to post tomorrow. 

It was in the 80s today, and I knew we'd be sitting/walking outside in the beautiful sun, so I wanted to take advantage of it and get a little tan! I wasn't sure which tank to wear, but ended up choosing the first one. The second picture is two tank tops, and the third one is the tank I was wearing underneath the darker pink one. 
Top: Hollister / Cami: Aeropostale / Pants: Abercrombie and Fitch / Flip Flops: Abercrombie and Fitch

Dark Pink Tank: Aerie
(I liked the idea of the colors together, but it would be too hot)

Coral Tank: American Eagle
(Really liked this look, tank needs to be ironed, would look great with a long pendant necklace)

Never Alone by Jim Brickman with Lady Antebellum

It was a beautiful Saturday!!! I went to see Something Borrowed with some girl friends, had a late lunch outside with them, and a relaxing evening with the hubster including desert and drinks. Doesn't get much better than that.

I bought and love the shirt I wore today for the saying that's written on it. You can't see it in the picture because its small and in silver writing on the heart, but it says "Your smile makes me smile." :)

Shirt: American Eagle / Jeans: Hollister / Shoes: New Balance


PS I love these earrings!!!

You're Never Fully Dressed Without A Smile from Annie

Tonight is the final choir concert for the high school. I choreographed a little dance to You're Never Fully Dressed from Annie, and will be directing it tonight! I've been so lucky to have made such a good connection and relationship with the high school choir director and all the music teachers in the county. I will miss them all when we move, but am so grateful for what they have let me be able to do while we've been here. There is a banquet before the concert to recognize the choir members and enjoy dinner together. I'm very glad to be a part of it!

I've only worn this dress once, and I was really excited to style it completely different than the last time I wore it. It came with a black belt, and I wore it with black shoes the last time. I knew I wanted to switch out the belt and add other accessories to it. I wasn't sure which shoes to wear, but decided the heels were more formal than the boots. Here's the boots:

Cardigan: American Eagle / Dress: Peebles / Belt: Charlotte Russe / Boots: Steve Madden


And here's the dress with heels...
Heels: Shoe Show



Have a great Friday night!

Don't Stop Believin' by Journey

Its a cold day. I feel like its fall day, but its still spring. Since I was in a fall mood, I wore the colors of fall foliage. Orange is popular color right now, so I found the warmest of the three orange shirts I own, and decided to wear it today. With brown shoes and belt and jeans, it was a perfect fall outfit.



Shirt: Peebles / Jeans: American Eagle / Shoes: BareTraps

Its been an enjoyable day. I'm about to make dinner, show the house, start some packing, and then hang out with the girls for the Grey's Anatomy finale. Its also The Office finale, which I'll have to watch tomorrow on hulu.

Three Nocturnes by Dan Forrest

Today was a good day to clean the house and run errands. I didn't get a sub call, which was expected because of testing, so I enjoyed the day off. It was rainy too so I didn't mind being inside for most of the day. We tidied up and showed the house, then I went to the bank and to get groceries, paid bills and balanced the checkbook, and made dinner of stuffed peppers and salad. Now I have a relaxing evening with the tv and painting my nails. So far, no work tomorrow and we are showing the house again, so I'm planning on going for a walk if it doesn't rain.

The hubster has his OSCE test tomorrow and a practice Boards on Friday, and then he's officially done with his second year of medical school!!!! I can't believe we are moving out of Lewisburg in a month!

I should really start packing.... maybe tomorrow :)
