Fashion Friday

As I mentioned here, I've wanted to wear this little gem with jeans. It's satin-y, so its a little bit fancy. Luckily, a New Years Eve early evening drink is a perfect opportunity to be a little bit fancy! I added the rhinestone belt, necklace and earrings and was ready to go! I really love this piece. It gives me more curves than I actually have because of how beautifully it's made. For as figure enhancing as it is, there's no boning and because it's a leotard, it never moves around or needs adjustment. It's super comfy. I felt pretty elegant in this simple black/denim/rhinestone combo and will definitely wear this outfit again.

January 6.

January 6 is a big day at our house. This was surgery day two years ago. Between December 3 and January 6 we talk a lot about how we spent that time between finding out John had cancer and the surgery to remove it. The surgery was by no means the end of that journey, but the very crucial step that allowed there to actually be a journey. I'll never forget how hard it was to leave my husband that morning and how happy I was to see him that night. Nor will I forget the time I spent in between. John goes in tomorrow for the results of his two year scan and we look forward to it being clear and having something to celebrate. I love you, JJ, and am proud of how much you are committed to this fight.

Happy New Year!

A couple weeks ago, we heard about a masquerade party in Pendleton that we wanted to attend for New Years and then found out that JJ had to be in town for work. Luckily, the stuff he had to do got moved to Thursday and we decided at the last minute to head out to Pendleton! It was a beautiful drive through the gorge and we arrived in Pendleton for a late lunch and a couple beers....
We grabbed a bottle of champagne on our way to our hotel and chilled it in a snow filled garbage can while we watched a movie... Classy, right?
We went out for an early dinner and came back to get all masked up for a night on the town!
It was a super fun party with good music and good food and lots of masked folks wandering throughout Hamley's giant upstairs bar. We had a blast.
Happy New Year!
