So, this weekend I wanted to try finding something trendy and cheap at Forever21. Can someone please tell me how to shop there? Not only is the place MASSIVE, but I can never find clothes there that fit me just right. They are either too loose, which makes the tops low cut, or waaaaaay too tight. For me, paying an extra amount of money for to go to a store that has a limited set of options that fits well is something I call an "investment."
Second thing, we saw Mosters vs Aliens this weekend. I highly recommend it. It was too funny!!
Third thing, and I will end the post on a more poignant note. Tim is ending out his six week shift where he works on Sundays, so I only have two more "single" Sundays left! Point being I got complemented today on how someone thought that it was so great that I went to church even though it is definitely a little harder without Tim. And the first thought that came to my mind was, "My mom would kill me if I didn't have a good excuse for not going to church." Now, I know I am a grown adult and I make my own decisions, and my mother would not somehow punish me if she found out I did not go to church for a period of six weeks, she respects that I am a grown woman and can make decisions. But what I think that says is that, values have been ingrained in me by tireless efforts from wonderful parents. God uses your voices even now to speak to me. And to close, I am glad that I got up and went to church today without my mom's voice telling me to do so, but I thank God for any of the reinforcement in my life that gets me there!
I understand your sentiments about getting to church....I've had the same thoughts myself. Thank God for parents who instilled good habits into our lives. We are truly blessed.
ReplyDelete:) I hear you about Forever 21. Amy can ALWAYS find stuff there and look super cute. I'm more into "investments"!! hee hee.
ReplyDeleteIsn't funny how we went to church for 20-something years of our lives "by ourselves" and once we become married it seems so difficult to do anything like that "alone"? I was really challenged while Destin was in med school by a girl who always came by herself while her husband was at the hospital. As you can imagine...I have many Sundays by myself. :)
Right there with you girl! Foever21...impossible to shop! I too, like the investment...unlike Emily who has the uncanny talent of putting together $100 outfits at Marshall's for $20...awe, the things we envy=)
ReplyDeleteOh, an the church thing...been there, done that, with the kid too=) Thank God for friends=)
