so after seven. entire. months. [literally. we left in mid september] of this:
i got to see my amazing and adorable family, who met me in Hawaii for less than forty-eight hours of shopping (of course, right? i'll show you pics when i wear them, y'all will die...strapless, ruffles, mini, nautical...i got them all!! I EVEN GOT A ROMPER!), dining and drinking.
amaze, right? ya...except that, tomorrow morning, i get to see THIS:
san diego!
i know, y'all are just as excited as i am! finally, no more boring posts about deployment, right?
and hopefully no more embarassing online shopping posts. speaking of which, my debit card and i may or may not have had a last hurrah on the vickie's website...i will soon be the proud owner of this adorable dress:
in navy, bright melon, beach blue, diamond blue, tropical turquoise, white, black and tropical pink!
they were only $29 each...so economical, right? and inevitably i'll return a couple if they're too close in color (those blues all looked pretty similar)...haha those colors look hideous in the text format!
and i wanted to thank sweet College Prepster...i won her Kiel James Patrick giveaway, and y'all know how i love me some KJP!
and thank you to Desperately Seeking Seersucker, who gave me the awesome love your blog award:
