What I Wore Sunday #5

Can kinda see my shoes here...

This was a "oops forgot to take a picture" moment

Happy beginning of NFP Awareness week!  I know a lot of people are planning on writing about NFP and I would certainly like to add my own piece, I just need to write it!  If you do write something, make sure you join the link up with Katie at NFP and Me

Anywho, back to the WIWS link up.  My maxi skirt is from Target, the shirt...I want to say Kohls, but not positive and the gold sandals I believe are from Kohls or Target?  And the dog is from the Washington Animal Rescue League.

I always love the gospel about Martha and Mary.  Probably because my mom's name is Martha, and she and the biblical Martha may as well have been identical.  I enjoyed the perspective our deacon gave this morning about how more often than not people now a days are "Martha's," always on the go with a million things on their plate.  I definitely feel that way...a lot.  There are times when I feel stretched to my limit between working, balancing time with Chris, our families, our friends, house projects, weddings I'm in etc.  And sadly, I am ashamed to admit, that time sitting at Jesus' feet seems to fall to the back burner.  My prayer life seems to be the first things I neglect...but boy does God remind me real quick about how much I need my prayer life, that time sitting in silence, soaking up His presence.  Without prayer, without that time at Jesus' feet, everything else becomes overwhelming and feels like I can't handle it.  Because I can't.  Not without His grace.  It can be difficult sometimes to find that Martha-Mary balance, but I pray that I find it so that I don't lose my drive to serve others, to be there for others while continuing to keep my prayer life and God as the priority and driving force behind all I do.

I feel like that was quite a ramble...but bottom line, I hope everyone had a blessed, enjoyable Sunday.  Hope the week to come goes well, and again, Happy NFP Awareness :-) Pro Woman, Pro Man, Pro Child

Hello all!

This week/weekend just seemed to completely get away from me.  I missed Theme Thursday (I have yet to participate and have wanted to) and Quick Takes Friday.  Oh well.  I'm here for What I Wore Sunday at least :-) Go check out the other lovely ladies at FLAP

This wasn't meant to get caught on film...makes me giggle tho

The deets:

Dress - Kohls I believe 

Cardi - Aeropostale

Shoes - Also from Aero (I worked there for a bit in college)

Pearl Earrings and Necklace - a gift from Chris' mom

I love this gray/pink color combo...actually, gray and pink were our wedding colors!

Last night Chris and I went to another of our dessert club/couples fellowship night.  This may sound odd...but have any of you ever had a "couple crush"?  I have them.  Meaning, there are couples that we have met that I want to be friends with....are you offically creeped out by me yet?  Anway, we totally met a couple last night that I now have a couple crush on.  I've actually met them before...seperately.  But it turns out they live really close to us, and we occasionally attend the same parish.  So. Meant.To. Be.  Ok, I'll stop now.  But for someone who has had oh, one? friend in her lifetime who was Catholic...it excites me to meet people who I can talk to about things like the rosary, church, Eucharistic adoration and they don't look at me like I have two heads.  

Well, I will see you all on the flip side.  I'm off to crochet and watch The Newsroom with Chris.

Oh!  I have finally succumbed to the Twitter craze.  No idea what I am doing...but, follow me?  I think that's what you say?  I added some buttons over yonder (the right task bar) to make your lives a lil easier.

Happy Sunday!
