A Day Behind

Well I'm a day behind. I don't have internet at my house so unless I get to a coffee shop on my days off of work I have a hard time posting. And I just couldn't find the time to go sit at a coffee shop yesterday. PLUS, the one I really like to go to requires that you purchase something if you're going to use the internet, you can't just freeload like you're at Starbucks, and since I'm doing Blood:Water Mission's 40 Days of Water I didn't want to make a purchase. So, here we are... A day behind. But that's okay. 

I'm in the process of completing a month long total body workout routine that uses body weight to add resistance. Yesterdays plan looked pretty intense as I've moved into using the more difficult workout outline. It consisted of a lot of walking pushups, jumping things, burpees (shoot me) and abs. I'll go ahead and be honest... I skipped it. It was so cold and rainy outside I just couldn't bring myself to going out. Oh well... Like I said, A day behind.  

I joined in on my first team leader call for the Venture Expeditions trip I'm co-leading this summer. We are raising money for International Justice Mission and riding our bikes 509 miles from Cincinnati, Oh to Washington D.C. Stepping into the planning process of the trip is so exciting. I love meeting my teammates via Facebook. I have a game that I like to play; I try and figure out their personality quirks as we communicate over the web. Then, when I actually meet them in person several months later I compare what I thought to reality. It's fun. The thing I love about people is that they always have a surprise for you in regards to who they actually are, and because Venture attracts some of the coolest people that I've ever met, I can't wait to see how my team surprises me! 

So, I'm going to a wedding... This particular wedding has been on my mind for a few weeks because I'm stressing over what I'm going to wear. I'm not normally like this. I can usually be found in some jeans and my Chacos and if I have to dress up, well, I'll just pull some dress out of the closet. But this is a different wedding...It's Kali and Jacob's wedding. They were hipster before it was cool to be hipsters. They invented the term hipster yet they are oblivious to how they have impacted the world. It's sure to be the Etsy wedding of the season so I have to be on my A-game. You never know if you might end up in a reception picture. So, I traveled the long distance to the mall yesterday to find something to wear. I don't like the mall because it signifies everything I stand against but I knew that I had to do it if I stood any chance of fitting in at this wedding. (<---- I know that that statement is contradicting.) Anyway, I went to H&M because their clothes are cute and inexpensive. I tried on so many dresses. I finally got it narrowed down to two... We shall see which one I end up wearing. 

Can you find Rose in each of the pictures? She had fun with all the clothes. She really likes when I get dressed up but unfortunately for her that doesn't happen very often. 

Do you like getting dressed up? What is your favorite piece of clothing?
