I Almost Fell Off a Rock Taking Pictures

Hmmmm today was a wonderful Sunday! I had all delightful lessons, I only got laughed at once or twice, my new Sunday School teacher is amazing, and my family had a superbowl sunday COMMERCIAL party! ;)

Also today was the first day of Nancy and I's fashion challenge:

We each go through and pick 20 things we don't wear very often, and switch until the end of the month.Simple. Yet challenging. We have to wear all twenty items by the end, and we have to wear at least one every day! That's where it's a bit challenging :P

But Nancy was nice and gave me some snazzy stuff!

Like the below sweater, and the skirt that is actually a dress ;)

Also I took these outside my church building

Outfit Details:

Sweater-Nancy's Charlotte Russe

Dress (worn under)-Nancy's

Tights-Ross

Shoes-Ross

And in this picture, I fell off the rock literally a half second after taking the pictures :)

Love, Sarai

PS: I'm giving a Book of Mormon to someone tomorrow. Pray for him....and me :)

TREAT!

Yesterday was such a delightful day! I was having a fantastic morning, and at lunch time, I got to go hang out with Mozelle! We're friends, but we haven't hung out in a while :(

Well Mozelle, always looking out for me, decided we should go to a cupcake shop! 

If you haven't figured it out, I LOVE cupcakes!. They're my favorite baked good, actually.....

And so of course I said yes! We drive up to this adorable little cupcake store called Treat, and I get the most delicious red velvet cupcake I've ever eaten in my entire life! The frosting, the little heart on top, the cake itself! All amazing :)

 Now, the even more lovely and exciting story behind these cupcakes? The lady who runs it, I met her at the store, might be hiring someone to run the front counter this spring! And I think if she decides to hire I have a good chance cause we talked about it :)

It was lovely, and working in a cupcake shop is my dream! Literally!

I'm so excited I just did a little wiggle! :D

I just realized you could see all the papers underneath my bed... that's what you get for being a dedicated student, butt loads of work EVERYWHERE.

I have a little awkward since I didn't do Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

-snazy coat friend drooling while taking a nappy nap

-hearing my sick self breathe

-knowing someone is listening to nasty music while you can't hear it but they're staring at you...

-a bagillion texts from your neighbor from years ago but now won't leave you alone. (nice kid just a bit clingy)

Peace

Hey Nancy, you've got some skills

Why yes, i do feel pretty darn accomplished right now :) I actually had time to make the blog look a little snazier and I think it looks fabulous! The picture of the rain boots really does me in. Aside from being sick I feel great. Finals are OVER and my scholarship application is DONE! Now I can actually post regularly instead of running around like a maniac all the time without any sleep.

And this amazing woman is Eve Arnold. She was the go to photographer for Marilyn Monroe. I had some extra time between finals and started researching her online. I. Fell. In. Love. I want her skill. Enough said.

Mr. Hudson's Bay Dance and The Yule Ball!!!!!!!

Ah this weekend was literally all about dancing...I went to two dances! One was a school dance, but now worries it was appropro! and one was a church dance..in the form of a BALL! I've always wanted to go to one of those :)

So the first dance was at school, and it was a fund-raising dance for Mr. Hudson's Bay, an organization at school that happens every year. 12 senior guys do a mock miss america pageant....craziness happens :) plus the guys are ALWAYS good-looking!

So I went to the dance this year, and it was so much fun! Turns out my friend Danny is a really good dancer...while I am not a good dancer.... hahahah

And the other was a youth dance that definitely was the most fun I've had in a while! Everyone who signed up for a partner assigned to them, and my partner was a darling guy named Zach! We all just had a lot of good-natured fun! I danced with some people I had never met before, and it was truly an experience to remember! 

Funny story about my dress though...

I had one picked out, decided I didn't like it, so I chose another, then that didn't work, so with fifteen minutes until the dance, I grabbed one out of Nancy's closet, and of course the top wouldn't zip up so we safety-pinned it and threw a shrug over the top!

For the record, I hate shrugs...but the dress was still gorgeous :)

Outfit details:

Turtleneck-Hand-me-down

Skirt-Dress folded under

Blue tights-F21

Heels-Ross

Watch-Daddys

Bracelet-gifted
