Like Icarus Before Me These Wings Are Not My Own

5 things I'm thankful for this week:

Mary Margaret

I'm super thankful that she's my sister.  My life would be completely different without her.

(Happy birthday!!)

Formal Occasions

Sometimes a girl just needs to dress up.  The Crystal Ball gave me (and my parents that reason).

Auburn Hair

I love my new hair color, as I always say when I change the color of my hair.  I might stick with this one.

Homemade Pretzels

I'm extremely proud of my large and tasty pretzels.  It was my farewell present to Will since he went back to college last week.

Life Experiences

I guess this could go under something else, but I feel like my actions are finally starting to reflect the mature state of mind I've been claiming to have for years now.

(I'm not really sure how to put that into a picture.)

Saving Grace

My pride gets the better of me time and time again.  Without grace or mercy,  I would be a lost cause.

Like the title says these wings are not my own.  I could not and would not be anywhere near where I am today without God and the people he places in my life every day.

I'm Never Changing Who I Am

5 things I'm thankful for this week:

Not waking up and rushing off to work half-awake.

Instead I'm going to channel Amy Adams pretty much all week (or at least pretend to).

Being done with my gloves!!

Well, almost done--I just have to weave in the tails.

Putting on a successful Together We Sing.

The Olive Twig Humanitarian Group raised $7,400 through the event!

Having the opportunity to be apart of a group like the Twigs at such a young age.

These women are truly remarkable!

The slew of gorgeous dress photos I can oogle and drool over this week when I want to procrastinate.

Because guess what... It's AWARDS SEASON! (or at least last night was the Golden Globes)
