it gets boring reallllly fast.

but i had this one stuck in my head all day.

new life motto?

i think so.

--------------------------------------------------

in preparation for my trip, we've been trying to "fix" all of my clothes, 

so that they will be somewhat cute, while still modest...

i'm so glad my mom is amazing.

and knows how to sew...

we had pants to fix, shirts to fit, buttons to sew... 

it kept us busy pretty much all night long!

but they will be worth it!
