Hubs and I are in a couples bible study called "A Grace Filled Marriage". Each week we go through a chapter of Tim Kimmel's book and dissect it piece by piece. It has been such a rewarding thing for us; to learn more about what grace means, how to forgive our spouses, and the unrealistic expectations we place on them. "Grace is giving your spouse something they deeply need but don't necessarily deserve." This quote really stuck out to me because I've been in PA school for our entire 2 years of marriage and more days than not I am grumpy, stressed, and not an extremely pleasant person to be around. Throughout it all, my husband shows me grace, cooks my meals, cleans the house, listens to me complain, etc. etc. and I promise I am not deserving of it. Gosh I love him.

I treated myself to a much needed mani yesterday. Don't know the exact color name because it's shellac but it's a dark navy and I'm loving it!! I adore Fall/Winter nail polish!

I have been dreaming about Twine & Twig necklaces for well, forever. Well my sweet sweet daddy spoils me and gave me one last week. Y'all, I'm obsessed. I have a hard time taking it off! Side note: my dog is slightly obsessed with it too. Her favorite bones are antlers so when I brought this necklace home she may or may not have thought it was for her. I cannot get her away from it! It's hilarious [and scary because if she ever chewed it up I might have to put her up for adoption… just kidding]!

You guys HAVE to watch this commercial. I'm not an NBA fan by any means, but this commercial gave me chills. Stephen Curry, the 2015 NBA MVP, reads his own draft report which says that he is below average, won't be successful in the NBA, etc. Such a perfect reminder to me to let me actions prove people wrong. Great motivation!

Loving your Fall mani girl! You totally have my convinced that I need to get a navy polish in my collection!
ReplyDeleteI love that sentiment from your couples' group--and glad that you have someone who gives you grace, and supports you :)
Hope you have a great weekend!
Totally obsessed with your mani (and your rings)! I love the concept of your marriage bible study! I'll have to see if there's anything like that available here!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I got the same mani color - bobbin for baubles :) That is a great video - there was one similar about the ballerina last year and it's true sometimes negativity fuels us to become great!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeletei love the marriage book rec!! that sounds like such great wisdom!! and totally beautiful nails!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely bookmarking that marriage book! It sounds great! LOVE Twine & Twig!!
ReplyDeleteOh girl. I definitely have those days when I am in complete awe and disbelief of the grace my husband shows you... particularly because I feel the same way you do - that there are times when I definitely have more grumpy days than good days!! I'll have to check out the book!! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving your mani color girl! Do you know if it's Essie? I have a color that looks really similar to that! Loving that necklace too! That's hilarious your dog thinks it's for her haha! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

Your nails are fabulous - perfect for fall! And I love how much your husband is there for you as you finish up PA school which I'm sure drains you on all levels.

That sounds like a great Bible study - wish we could find a group that does stuff like that. That quote is perfect and definitely a HUGE reminder for marriage. Loving your nails - I saw them on snapchat and loved them!
ReplyDeleteI may need to look into that book! I think a bible study is a great thing to do as a couple!

Love your mani and that necklace!! And I love that quote too.. PA school has definitely been stressful (especially being long distance) but the end is near and we're lucky that we have such good men to be there for us and support us! Happy Friday love!

Love your nails. Dark Navy is such a great color for fall. That necklace is so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love your mani and that necklace. I'm all about dark nails right now. My dog would think it was a toy too. Antlers are his favorite chew toys and the one thing he can't destroy!
ReplyDeleteYesss to dark nails; can't get enough! Your dog is so funny with the bone; their noses are so ridiculous. Happy weekend, girl! :)
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe I won. Thank you so much for the giveaway and the opportunity! I'm excited to build my new planner :)
ReplyDeleteThat manicure is gorgeous. I love dark colors. I'm not supposed to wear nail polish at work, but I might just have to bend the rules a little bit...
Love the manicure♥♥

That is one of my favorite manicure colors! And I love love love your Twig & Twine! My boys are doing the SAME THING as sweet Bells. And that Stephen Curry commercial gives me chills. SO. GOOD. xo, Champagne&Suburbs
ReplyDeleteToo funny with your dog and the antler! My dogs are obsessed too! We have an antler set that we inherited, and plan on putting up in my son's room and the dogs are crazed for it. I am slightly nervous that one of them will rear up on their back legs and try to get it (being great danes it wouldn't be hard.) I hope your pup doesn't steal that necklace--it is so cute!
