A couple of weekends ago, Brent and I attended an 80s birthday party in honor of our dear friends Terri and Bracy Cross. I was so excited about it, and started planning my outfit the weekend before. It really blew me away that a lot of the accessories that I got were actually on sale!!! This is the trend these days, so it's true that style trends to come back around. If that's the case, I can't wait for the modesty of the late 90s. (Maybe not all late 90s trends though).
So anyway, I got the gloves at Claire's the clothes at Walmart, and the shoes at Savers. I even got some blue eye shadow and applied it liberally! So I got all ready, and we headed to the Oyster Bar. I was feeling really good until I realized I was going to have to walk into a full restaurant in this outfit. HA! Brent wouldn't even walk beside me on the sidewalk - he was laughing at me 10 paces behind.
But I do love Teacher Terri and Big June, so this is what we looked like:
Here are the birthday folks.
Brent didn't have time to find an outfit at Savers like everybody else, so I got him these flip up sunglasses like the guy on A Different World. And there's really no words for Bracy. He said this was his Miami Vice look.
I got this picture from another blog, so pardon the pixelation. The person shall remain nameless, but he had the best costume of the night. I don't know anybody else who would go out in public (or at home for that matter).
Since the party, we've had a really busy couple of weeks. I had it in my mind that I was going to begin school at PTC this semester and teach another group of industrial students. I had my first night class papers all printed out and ready to go, and then I got an email from the department saying they had given my class to a full-time professor. At first, I was aggravated, but then I realized that I would have a free night, and then I didn't mind so much. I think maybe God was closing that door in preparation for another door to open, but it hasn't yet.
For all of the other things that have been going on, we have been put into situations that have made us totally rely strictly on our Heavenly Father. We've seen Him answer prayer in our lives, and we're now waiting patiently to see what happens next.
Ok, I guess that's all I got in me tonight. Time to find some dessert and watch the DVR!
