Catch Up!

Hey everyone! I'm back...finally! I'm sorry I was gone so long. But I'm going to be blogging like crazy now! :)


I'm gonna try and catch you up on what's been going on with me since my last post. Well, first off, I graduated college! I can't believe it! I now have an associate degree in Technical Arts in Law Enforcement and an Associate in General Studies. I received honors with both degrees. And what was most special about graduating, was that I got to walk with my mom.

There was no order in which the graduates were suppose to walk, so I insisted that my mom go first, since it was a bigger moment for her, it was her first time walking at graduation (she got pregnant with me in high school and wasn't able to graduate). But she said I HAD to go first, that she was too afraid she'd trip or mess up somehow. Haha. Gosh, I love that woman.


I was nervous with all that attention. Notice the crazy gum chewing and how I was racing to my seat? :D




My grandma made me this sign: "Now that you've graduated, I made you this just in case your college stuff doesn't work out, you'll have a back up."

My grad party...my cousin Avery being a cutie! The ice cream cake was too cold for him.
There have been some other changes too. I have been looking for a new job, which has been soaking up my energy and time. Bath & Body Works just isn't cutting it (3 hours a week? No, please). So I'm waiting to hear back from a couple places. Fingers crossed! I also worked over the last weekend temping for DKNY for their big holiday sale. My first time working in a clothing store! And I didn't make it out without buying something! Or a few things actually! $30 for a pair of pants normally priced $89! I mean come on! :)

And I'm sooo excited for this! I will be getting my very first DSLR camera this weekend! I've been dying for one for so long! But I'm debating between the Canon Rebel T1i and the T2i. Decisions, decisions...
Let me know if you have opinions on either one! I need help choosing!

Stay tuned for videos, hauls, and outfit posts! They're on their way! Once I get my new camera, there will be no stopping me! :)

XOXO,

Courtney

Obsession: Bright White

There is something about the mixture of warm weather, white clothing, and sunshine that I love. I'm working on introducing more white and pale colors into my wardrobe before summer gets here.







The guy featured in the photos is Dave Franco, the younger brother of James Franco. Ain't he cute?! :)

Again, sorry for this blogging absence lately. Still no internet at my house and work has been crazy, on top of getting the flu twice, and being out of town for work. It's killing me not being able to blog and comment you all back regularly.  I hope that I'll be back up and running soon! I'm completely lost without internet.

XOXO,

Courtney

My Day In Photos

This was actually my Sunday. I spent the day with the whole family at my aunt's house. We were celebrating the March and April birthdays in the family, as well as visiting with my aunt who is here from Alabama for my cousin, who is currently going through chemotherapy (as I explained in my Video Sunday post).



We had a potluck dinner with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Here's some of my family chatting at the table.



After dinner, we had some fun with my camera. My mom and I.



Gotta love goofy photos! :)



We got a little carried away with the freaky faces. My camera is full of them! My brother, Stefan, and I.



We shared some videos on Youtube. My mom, and cousins Iain and Mark.



My Cousin Katie, Dad, and Aunt Stefanie.



My two younger brothers, Stefan and Austin.



Met my new cousin, Viola, for the first time. She was born on March 7th.



My baby cousin, Avery.



I told him to smile and this is the face he gave me. Haha.



He then showed us his new dance moves. Haha.



Then all thirty or so of us piled into the living room and chatted and watched tv (Tosh.0) before parting our separate ways and going home.

XOXO,

Courtney

Inspiration: Miley Cyrus

I know this photo-shoot of Miley Cyrus was from back in Marie Claire's February issue, but I love these photos. The photography is gorgeous! And I love Miley's hair!
