Easter Sunday

So I have been admittedly depressed lately. 

I had originally thought it was the result of the anticipation related to my daughter's upcoming cardiologist check-up, but since that appointment has come and gone (with her coming away from it doing amazing!!), I still feel...

Sad. 

So, I immediately got down to business in trying to remedy this problem. 

One of my first theories was the weather. 

Fall/Winter makes me sad. 

There is no sun. No life. No excuse to paint my toenails because nobody will see them. 

It tends to be a depressing time. 

However, today it is in the 70s, is lovely out...took a walk with my girls...

And I'm still down in the dumps. 

So I tried doing some art, a former (and current) passion of mine that usually lifts my spirits. 

Please excuse the painted over outlet cover...we just painted...
This boosted my spirits, and inspired me to start doing my artwork again, 
but again...the thrill subsided and I felt incomplete again. 

Then I hopped onto the internet while my older daughter was napping and my younger one crawled all over my bedroom, exploring everything now that she is MOBILE (baby proofing still needs to happen). 
I thought purchasing a pair of mint skinnies would help.

Buy me!

No...still did not work....
Mood---still not lifted.


Then I happened across a new post my friend Melissa made on her inspirational blog. 
And then I realized something. 
I miss my friends. 
Since moving to Alabama while my husband is on recruiting duty, I have been extremely lonely. 
Being with my daughters all day is a joy, but there are times where you need to be with your girls...
And I have no "girls" here. 
That is exactly what I miss. 
I miss the huge population of stay at home moms, who were always up for a weekday brunch, a night time Mexican dinner, or a play date at the park. 
I had an amazing group of ladies that made deployments, field ops, and day to day stress bearable and fun. 
Ladies...you know who you are...I miss you. 

So, after reading Melissa's blog, I made a decision. 
I would find a new church here in our new town. 
I went to a wonderful church back at our former duty station, one that felt comfortable and like home. 
I have made it my mission to find another one that makes me feel that wonderful. 
And when I find it, I will join a small group. 
I will find a new group of fabulous ladies. 
And I will make this place feel more like home. 

Church is MAJOR down here...as it rightfully should be. High five, Jesus!

Here is what I plan to wear on Easter Sunday. 

Rare floral print dress, £45
Alexander McQueen blazer, £1,145
Dorothy Perkins heel wedge, $69
Chanel quilted bag, £3,725
Chanel chain jewelry, £485
Chan luu jewelry, $115
Carolee glass earrings, $28
Sparkle sunglasses, $10
Essie nail polish, €14


Yes, there is Chanel. And Alexander McQueen. 
Two hot labels that I cannot afford currently (and greatly wish that I could). 
However, I do have a white blazer. And some awesome gold wrist candy. 
::sigh:: Chanel bag...we will meet someday...

I promise to get back to my quirky, upbeat posts.
