Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Another lovely chance to win a Shabby Apple dress!
It is the Ooh La La Dress and it is gorgeous!
Giveaway hosted here by Le Blog de la Mome!


It's the dress on the left.
So chic, huh?
And I love the red!
I'm crossing my fingers this time,
I really hope I win.
But I'm going to share this giveaway with you all.
Last time I entered a Shabby Apple Giveaway
I was selfish.
I didn't blog about it,
or tell my friends about it.
Because I didn't want to decrease my chances of winning.
Well I entered the giveaway secretively,
and then the next day my dear friend Amy
shared a link with me on facebook for another
Shabby Apple Giveaway.
I felt horrible.
So of course I shared the link with her to
the giveaway I had found.
She commented back and wrote
"Consider me entered."
"P.S sorry for decreasing your chances of winning."
I feel like such a jerk at this point-
that is exactly what I had been thinking.
Well I checked back every hour after the giveaway ended,
and who do you think won??
Sure enough, it was Amy!
That is karma people.
I texted her to give her the happy news,
(Ok, so I was jealous, I really wanted to win)
so it was bittersweet for me.
But I love her to death so I really was happy for her.
Deep down.
Way deep down.
But consider my lesson learned.
I will now share any Shabby Apple dress giveaway I find.
And wait patiently for the day that I finally win!

TRIA Beauty Giveaway


TRIA Beauty Giveaway here.
Win a TRIA Laser Hair Removal System.
It is just what I need.
I shave and two hours later my legs are sharp enough to cut someone.
Anyone else have that problem?
Well now that you all know about my hairy legs,
peace.
Oh and Happy Fourth of July!
Hope you all had a happy patriotic weekend.
And remembered to be grateful for all those who have fought and died for us.
So that we can have FREEDOM.
Here's a few pictures for you to enjoy.
I have many more to post later :-)


          















We love sparklers,
can't you tell?

I woke up so grateful today for so many things. So first I'd like to thank my Father in Heaver, and His Song Jesus Christ, for everything. Because I owe all that I have to Them. 

Other things I'm grateful for (order does not signify importance):

My family.
My cousins.
My friends.
Kelsey moved back to Oregon.
The gospel of Jesus Christ.
My beau. (Old fashion for boyfriend).
Prayer.
God  hears and answers my prayers.
I can change with the help of my Savior Jesus Christ.
The Atonement.
Lucky. (My kitty-an answered prayer-literally sent to me from God- found him at Church).
My vitamins. (without them I'd be in unbearable pain each day).
Sunshine.
Rain. (It makes Oregon so green and beautifu, its's fun to dance in...ok and to kiss in :-) )
Honey. (My horse...Ok and you too Casey haha wink wink--inside joke)
My life.
My passion.
Love.

Karlas smoked salmon and oysters. Yum.
Trials (strange I know, but after I quite banging my head against the wall, and humble myself,
they help me to become a better person). 
Any blog readers that I have out there. You rock!

The above list doesn't even begin to cover all that I am grateful for.
But I am grateful for all that I have.
And recognize that all my blessings come from God.
