Today has been quite the emotional day. For those of you following along religiously {thank you} not only for your support as I experiment with Smitten By You and what doors may open, but for listening to me when I'm being a complete sap. I'm a very passionate person..with that being said..some would say {ahum, my future hubs} I feel every emotion deeply. I consider it a blessing and a curse. A blessing because my dad could so very much relate. 

Today was my dad's birthday. While I'm at a place of peace with his passing, there's so many emotions flaring today. I had a list of "things to do" as always and today I thought...I'm going to take this time to unwind, watch a Nicolas Sparks movie {my favorite}, and let whatever emotions spill out. Well, it happened....and I can't help but chuckle because it was over a youtube video of Sara Bareilles {sweetest ever} helping two couples with their engagements. The ending...where the other person is surprised...yeah, that face.. it totally got me. Done. Full tears. Anyways, the moral of this post...let those feelings go! Feel on! Even if its deep and raw...chances are you'll end up smiling because you let go {#frozen...sorry}. 

Anyways, I really hope boyfriend jeans/shorts don't go out of style anytime soon{ish}...because I wear them like they're going out of style. They're like the ice cream to my cone, the peanut butter to my spoon, and the shoe to my closet { ha ha...I'm losing it}. And this lace maxi cardigan though?! The other day I went to the mall and I'm not lying when I say it's slim pickins' here in Cedar Falls....but one place I can always count on is The Buckle. Fact: I use to work there in college...Fact: I never came home with a pay check. Anyways, thank you to the Cedar Falls Buckle for picking out the cutest lace dress for our Couple's Shower and this lace maxi cardigan. Definitely a repeat for summer! Oh my and i can't forget these Mia shoes here. These lovelies caught my eye from a mile away!! Fierce fringe! 

Thanks for stopping by and a wonderful cheers to my Daddo up in Heaven!
