Easter Dress Etc...




This is the dress I wore to church on Easter Sunday. Sorry about the blurry pics. Just as soon as I stepped out to take them it stared to rain, and continued to rain ALL day. These were the only two shots I got. The dress is from Modcloth and the pearl necklace was a gift from my husband.

On another note I am going stir crazy! My house is empty and the weather is terrible. There are streets closed and trees down everywhere, so I can't go anywhere. All of my stuff is gone so I can't sew or start on anyother type of project. I can clean, but seriously, how much can you clean an empty house.

I keep thinking about all of my stuff that is in storage until we get to Virginia. While we were preparing for the move we got rid of A LOT of stuff, but now I can think of so much more that is going. When all that stuff gets unpacked I can't wait to go through it and get rid of more. I am still struggling with being materialistic. The truth is I like my gadgets. You know like my computer, cameras, kindle, ipad, nice tv. Ok I am making myself sound really bad here. Is there away that I can enjoy having these things, but not feel selfish? I do give back in many ways. I give money to various organizations and I volunteer my time to help other Army spouses. For right now I am going to concentrate on getting rid of more stuff when we get moved. All of which I plan on donating to the Back Door Boutique. I am hoping that these things are a step in the right direction.
