I realized how simple my outfit was, after the fact. So it's kind of a lame what I wore post, but it is in fact what I wore... I wore this on my date with Elisha to the zoo and downtown ft worth. I love love Summer dresses! The back is my favorite part^_^ Happy Independence Day!

Date Day!

I love love date days! The Mr took me on a perfect date day!! We started the day by going to our favorite taco stand, Salsa Limon, then stopped to grab a smoothie! then he took me to the Ft Worth zoo; I love love animals and even though it was crazy hot, it was lots of fun! Afterwards we went Downtown to eat and then joined some friends for some delicious dessert. It was quite the day, and I felt like such a lucky girl. He's so good to me:) OH and just fyi, this is probably a picture overload, so brace yourself.

Can we just take a moment to talk about how weird monkeys are? Cause for reals, they are so creepy. They look like hairy people and their little hands freak me out. Those orangoutangs were extra weird. That one, kept carrying a crate around, holding it with his feet and then sucking on it. That qualifies for weird people. So what do you think? Do monkeys freak you out too??

Camp.

I know I've mentioned that the Mr has been helping out at the youth camp, so I thought I would share with you some of the fun going on out there. I went last week  to take photos and forgot to charge my battery, oops! I was able to get a few shots though. Below are some photos of the camp shop which I helped decorate! I organized where the fixtures were going to go and I made all the pretty decorations! It's supposed to be UOesque. The Mr designed that way cool banner in the back. He has also been making quite a few videos, which are pretty great! AND the last photo is of the stage, which he also designed. Yes, each of those banners was created by him. Isn't my boyfriend cool? The answer is yes. I am seriously the most proud girlfriend ever! He makes it so easy to be his biggest fan though^_^ SO cheesy, but so true! ha! Have any of y'all ever gone to a youth camp?? I only went once and it was as a leader; I totally missed out!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Anything exciting happen?

Baby you're a firework

Our city had a big Fourth of July Celebration yesterday and our church helped volunteer. It was a blast! I had the lovely job of taking pictures throughout the day. I also enjoyed a pretty amazing fireworks show; I love love fireworks. You know the ones that sparkle after they've burst?? Those are my favorites because they look like God is pouring glitter out; I think. Anywho, I got a few great shots and others that are just fun, so I thought I'd share a few of the fun... and by a few, I mean around twenty, ha! I think that's pretty good considering I took about 350... right?? I just love sharing photos!!

This last one is of Elisha and some of our students from the youth group. It has weird spots on it, but I think they're crazy and loved it, so I threw it in to show you! Also, I think it's strange that we had our church name on the car that everyone smashed... Is that weird? Yes, yes it is, but at least now people will know our name^_^ 

The Mr is taking me out on a date today and I'm so so excited! What are you doing this lovely Fourth of July weekend?? Have you signed up for the Shabby Apple Giveaway below? You should. Want to know why? Because you could win a really pretty dress. So, there. Have a wonderful day friends!
