For some, the new year brings with it hopes for the future, a fresh start pr a time to turn over a new leaf. Sadly, for others, the new year brings resentment towards people and things that didn’t fall into the perfect plan they had concocted. Everything didn’t go quite as planned.
I wonder how many of us stop to understand that sometimes not getting what we want can be a blessing. Not getting what we want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of good luck, because it forces us to reevaluate things and before we know it, new doors to opportunities are opening and experiences you would have otherwise overlooked suddenly becomes clear as day.
What am I saying? The next time you begin to count all the many “unanswered” prayers you’ve sent up, stop and realize that God always answers prayers. The answer may not be what you had envisioned, but God always answers.

We are finally getting our Christmas decorations up today. That’s the plan at least. We had our Christmas cards mailed the second week of November and then one thing led to another and we just got busy. The funny thing is we’ve had our tree for a little while now, we’ve just been to busy to bring it in the house. In other news, tonight my hubby is sponsoring a Christmas party for our church’s choir. It should be fun. I’ll make sure to take some outfit pics, although I still don’t know what I’m wearing yet. Next week’s going to be pretty busy. I have a project for work on Monday that will put me out of the office for the whole day. Tuesday I’m attending a field trip with Jaxon’s class in the early part of the day so I’ll be heading into work late. Wednesday and Thursday I’ll be playing catch up between work, gift shopping and wrapping, and WORK. Friday I’m off. I’ll actually be taking a personal day to be with my family. Every year we spend the Friday before Christmas shopping and eating. The kids will be at school so it should be very productive. I’m really looking forward to it, as I do every year. How am I doing guys? Are you all done and already into New Year’s planning?
Practically my entire outfit was purchased at various sample sales. My shoes are: Ziggy Soho/Purse: Louis Vuitton Speedy 30/watch: Michael Kors
I managed to squeeze this in right before Labor Day. Although, I hear that the no-white-after-Labor Day law is a joke in California since we pretty much wear whatever, whenever! Consider this your cue to pack it up and move on down to California.
Special thanks to Jazzy from Ohio for submitting this Copy Cat Challenge idea. While Jazzy doesn’t have a blog she is an “avid follower of all things fashion”. I laughed when I read her email because she didn’t know who the celebrity was…sadly enough neither do I. I hope I did your submission justice, Jazzy!
