I have had this top for MONTHS, and I just got around to wearing it last weekend. Actually, this outfit was the last time I got dressed which was LAST SUNDAY!!!
The day after these pictures, I got sick.
I know, sad, huh?
As for the fish face….thought I would try something new.
It kinda works, right?
~~~~~~~
So, I thought I’d fill you in real quick on life.
My heart has been heavy all week.
Besides the house of sickness…we’ve had a lot going on.
On Sunday night we received a call late at night that a close family member of Jimmy’s died suddenly from a massive heart attack.
This is the second death within the same family in less than a year….
so it’s extremely shocking and the whole situation surrounding it is really quite heartbreaking.
Along with that, both Jimmy and I have a deep burden on our heart for a little boy we happen to know that has been placed in protective child custody.
While I can’t go too much into specifics,
if you have any, we would appreciate all the prayers you have to give regarding that situation.
And with that….
you see why I may have been a little absent this week….
hopefully I’ll be back on track next week.
So, excuse me while I go eat a tub of ice cream, and if anyone has any cookie dough (suzanne!), feel free to send it along.
mmmkaythanks.
By the way, I’ll be back on the no sugar thing AFTER I’m done with this INSANE flu/cold thing.
{I’m pretty sure I’m dying of swine flu and I can’t go without one last sweet thing in my tummy.}
WHICH by the way, I’m pretty certain Ellen’s been reading my blog, because just this week she decided to give up sugar as well.
Coincidence?
I think not.
Sorry Kathy, but I think she loves me.

And sorry to hear about everything else. 🙁 Eat as many tubs of ice cream as you need to feel better. Than, have an extra one for me.
I read your tweet about this foster child situation. Please know that they’re in my prayers! xo
Hang in there love, will be thinking of you and your fam. You look lovely – love your shirt and style! Hope your weekend goes well.
My sweet, awesome, inspiring, GORGEOUS (and TINY yourself!!! your comments are too sweet, and much needed to hear!) friend – I love you dearly and can’t wait to catch up again soon.
While I only seem to get around to reading your incredible blog once every month now (I know… scared), I’m happy to say, I do believe I have read each and every post 🙂 And I love every one!!! And I’m definitely going to get better at the frequency!!! That should be one of my “resolutions!” 🙂
Anyhow, hope you and your sweet girl are both feeling better. Love your outfit(s), your (very blonde!!!) hair, your rockin’ out tattoo, and YOU! Let’s tal soon. Miss you!!!
That top is so cute, Summer! I love the bow at the bottom. It’s very YOU. I’m so, so sorry for what your family is going through with the death of another family member, and for worrying about the little boy. My thoughts and prayers are with you, girl.
oh look how gorgeous you look even with a heavy heart!
(ok, so maybe the photo was from before. but still. there you are in all your glory.)
i know it’s been a hard week. you are def in my prayers. i know things are going to work out just the way they are meant to, well, just because that’s how it works. in the meantime, while things aren’t feeling so fun, enjoy that icecream, and all the little moments in between all the big ones. that’s what works for me.
you’re amazing.
kisses,
mb
Love your outfit! You are in my prayers. I hope everything turns out well and that little boy finds a loving home.
First your outfit is SO SO CUTE! And second, I hope you feel better soon!
I noticed the Ellen thing too! Crazy!
I love the outfit- very cute.
I hope you feel better soon, no fun being sick. Enjoy the sugar while you can- anything that makes you feel better is allowed.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace and comfort beyond understanding.
And that poor, poor little boy. May God protect cover him with protection his entire life.
You and Ellen really need to get back on the sugar wagon…just look at what it’s doing to your skin!
