ENJOY!

and if this inspires you to do some... i HAVE TO SEE! :)

mercy & sin.

i have never ever ever ever never ever thought about it like this before...

there is a TON of mercy in Christ... i've thought that, im sure (in different words)...

there is a TON of sin in us... i've thought that, i'm sure (in different words)...

but put the two together as a 'comparison' of sorts and KABAM!

it's eye-opening (to me)! :)

couldn't have said it any better.

 

{ source + where to buy = typograhic verses}

" He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD requirer of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." ~ Micah 6:8

These seem like pretty simple request but they are sometimes easier said than done...

I know I need to examine these areas on a regular basis... and apply them to my daily life.

FOUND THIS HERE: http://treeofolive.blogspot.com/2012/06/devotional-wednesday_20.html

i could not have said ANY of this better myself...

BONUS: i found ANOTHER person to follow! :) EEK.

lololove this look.

WHO: some random purdy brunette gal

WHEN: a few months back

WHAT: an AMAZING outfit -- just my style

WHERE: at the D.O.T. (of all places, right?)

WHY: we got hitched & needed to change/update our licenses! eek!

  

ever since then, i have needed wanted a denim shirt. i was inspired to have her cutesy outfit... so, the hunt began. UNFORTUNELY and FORTUNATELY, i am cheap. i'm a deal-hunter, a bargain extrordinair, the coupon queen (get the point?)!

***insert random brain thought -- my spelling stinkz stinks.***

anyways, so i couldn't ever justify spending like $50 on a button-up (even though i'm sure i used to when i worked at LTD). puke. one day while shopping with my sista, jillybean, i found a lovely little perfect number at eddie bauer ON SALE. awesome.

REG: something stupid

SALE: still like $30+ dolla dolla bills, yawl. no.

look, i have a good splurge the rest of 'em, but i just wasn't willing to have one on this. eek.

SO, on a little 'thriftventure', i just happened to find some AMAZING goodies. seriously. i have to take pictures. for sheezy. ANYWAYS, i remembered that i had been looking for a denim button-up shirt. women's section? no dice. men's section? SCORE.

so, i'll have to take a picture & get it up here! it's not as long as i'd like, but it's long enough... it's light denim. worn. and beautiful... oh, did i mention it's $3.59 pricetag? it was $3.59 + tax. BAM.

so. i'm packing it up for this weekend (after a good washing, of course).

i say, "hubs! look at my new shirt!" 

he says, "are you serious?"

baha. he thought it was a joke. and when i said something about 'fashionable', he rolls those gorgeous green eyes. for him, fashion is hawkeye sweats & hoodies all day long forever & ever & ever amen. which is totally fine by me because 1. i like that for me, too... 2. he looks so darn cute in his 'fashion'... 

BUT. a girl is gunna wear what a girl is gunna wear. i do agree that you need to wear what you like in comfort & style, but there's nothing wrong with doing a quick google search of 'SPRING 2012' to help get the inspiration juices a flowing! :) this makes me laugh at myself...

so ANYWHOO, i am thinking THIS outfit ABOVE worn by kourtney kardashian will be a STAPLE for me this fall... summers are spent in tanks & shorts -- i'm a sweater, people! :) now all i need is some moccosin boots! :) i already ROCK the leggings ALL.THE.TIME. in the winter. no,seriously. PLUS, this is kinda like the outfit i saw on the girl at the DOT. leggings + denim = love. i am more into the casual look that the picture with the skirt, but hey... a girl has gotta have options.

love & denim (but no canadian tuxedos),

your jay.to.the.zee.

coffee.

i have drank lots & lots & lots of coffee today.

i usually don't drink coffee too much anymore -- sometimes it messes with my tummy. and when i have school at night, i definitely don't want a tummy ache during the massage! how terrible would that be?! have a client on the table, "oh, excuse me, ma'am... i have an upset stomach & have to postpone the massage until after i relieve myself." ...wierd... but today, i'm all out, baby -- going 3 cups strong... 'treating' myself. i can only expect a huge caffeine headache later though.

why doesn't the coffee i'm drinking look this good? oh, that's right; it's breakroom coffee.

lots of bathroom breaks,

your jacie

oosh goosh for the hubs.

i love the silliness between my husband & i... as we were laying in bed last night preparing for the next 8 hours of sleepymcsleeperson, he was doing different voices or tickling me or some shannangan -- i don't remember what... i just remember thinking, "God, why did i get so lucky with this one?" and just thanking the good Lord above for the blessing He gave me with adam... and also thanking Him in addition that there will never be a dull moment because my husband rocks.

it's the little things that i love like giggles before bedtime.

dontcha just DIG our matching neon dice shirts? they rock. got them at journeys on sale for $4.99 a couple years back... we went through this phase of getting awesomely funny matching shirts... we have a few tuxedo ones, joker ones, these ones... now we're just back to normal or sports team matching shirts... i LOVE matching! :)

happily matching hunnies,
your jaceroni

engagement pictures...

...only a few out of like 600+... :)

husband tells me this is my '3 months pregnant' look... :) HAHA...

best.hubs.ever.

 

i heart hubs... have i told you that before? anyways, i totally do FOR SHEEZY. this was our very first official date...! :) i don't think i've ever told the story before... but someday i will! :) stay tuned... it's a simple, but super-cute story, morning glory! :)

falsies!

so...

you could call me a sucker for sales... that would be an understatement...ask anyone. WELL WELL WELL, the other day as adam & i strolled through walmart, i saw a duo pack of maybelline's falsies mascara AND eyeliner! um, hello!? i bought it -- for $4... are you kidding me...?

http://www.maybelline.com/products/67

annnnnnnd...DRUMROLL PLEASE! i hearted it. especially for $4, baby, YEAH! so, i called my sister & told her to go get the rest of them! hopefully there's some left! YEOOW!

i mean, i wouldn't say that it actually looks like you have actual false lashes on like the picture they use to market it, but i definitely think it's a good mascara!

your lashes will look good, BUT your lashes will NOT look like this... rawr.

this is what husband thinks of twilight...

my husband drew this for me one day at work...

isn't that sweet that he was thinking of me? ha.

if you couldn't tell, he doesn't really like twilight... like me, he's a fan of harry potter, but twilight; he'd rather not... however much he hates it, he still comes with me to all the movies, even when i say i'll go with a buddy...he loves me...or maybe it's the popcorn that suckers him into going with me...saying he LOVES movie theatre popcorn is an understatement.

someday when i have kids...

looky looky what i found HERE: http://fellowfellow.com/teddy-bear-breakfast/...!

how adorable, right? we'll put this in the 'someday when i have kids...' file! :)

dreaming of... winter?

 

 

i lololooove the 'winter' with all the candles! tucking that away in this ol' head o' mine!

the cookies are ones that my mom & i made for Christmas a few years back -- she's a PRO! and adam & i at our first apartment on a 'snow day'. sigh, oh how i wish i could go back to that exact moment. he melts my heart without even trying (ps, do you see the drift on the deck?).

 

***i took these pics on the side of a road one day -- the trees were too frosty & cute NOT to!***

i think this picture is just charming. besides freezing, this is perfect.

this is our TRUMAN! he wanted to play on the deck at mom's house! i love the little snow on his chops! it's just so cute -- husband loves this picture, too!

it's not like i'm wishing for winter... im not... i haTTTe driving in winter (you should see my car)! i haTTTe freezing... but there is something just so whimsical & calming about winter... maybe being in front of a fireplace... having hot chocolate with peppermint... cuddling up with the love of your love... snuggling... candles lit... hats & gloves...

some presents i wrapped this year for my bestie, bailey & her girls! aren't they pretty!? all different pinks with black & white polkadots! i loved.

anyways, just wanted to share a few pictures of Christmastime that i love...

oh AND... it is MERRY CHRISTMAS...
