What I Wore {Country Rustic}

I just recently went to Target with my mom and bought two tank tops and this green skirt. One of the tank tops I bought was the one in the pictures. I love how the "lace" looks like an old-fashioned doily! I plan to wear an outfit similar to this when the fam goes to New York City for vaca this summer! So excited about that. :)

Hellooo Fellow Bloggers!!!!

Wow have I been gone for a looong time! So sorry about that! The reason is because I just got a job on Monday working at a horse farm, and so I started on Tuesday and have been working very long hours ever since!!!! :) Its my 1st real job which is exciting. The next thing on my summer agenda is to get my temps/license! Which I have noo idea when that'll happen since I work 6 days a week and my only day off is Sunday! haha #problemsofastablehand

So I just wanted to share a few pictures of me at work that my mom has taken.

*me and my favorite pony, Ella*

 

 *all the horses! well, most of them!*

 *there i am, in the Gator*

And then just last night my sisters' basketball coach, and friend Kara, came over to spend the night!! #goodtimes #laughter #memories

We watched 'The Amazing Spiderman', my new favorite movie, and went to see our dad run in a 5K! All in all, its been a crazy, memorable week!!

The End

Sonshine is over, folks. And to be honest, I am sooo flipping glad. This year, for me at least, did not go well. I picked Primary, which is 1st and 2nd grade, and I just can't handle that age well at all. I do better with 2's&3's or 4's&5's, where you get little cuddlebugs, and they can't talk back to you - at least not as much as 1st and 2nd graders can!!! ;) I learned a lot this week. I learned that I just need to go with the flow and not get so uptight about every little thing. I learned that I do wayyy better with tiny little kiddos. And I learned that everything might not go my way, but I need to deal with it in a godly way. Here are just a few pictures from the week!!

The whole crew - or most of them! Can you spot me?? ;)

Nationality Night!

Spy Night! Like my 'stache?? lol

And that's that. I'm exhausted, so off to bed for me!!!

Love,
Manda

p.s. I get to see my friends Phil and Celeste in a matter of like two weeks! And senior pictures to be taken in early July!! Soo excited!! :))
