This week was rough. You know when you just have some weeks where everything seems to go wrong? Work was so stressful and life just seemed to beat me down this week. There isn't much death in orthopedics, which is one of the reasons why I went into this field. I'm too emotional to deal with super sick patients. So when death happens, it hits hard. Makes you step back and realize how precious life really is.

I got this dress at a boutique in my hometown a year or so ago and honestly forgot about it. I pulled it out of my closet and paired it with my Twine & Twig [duh] and loved how this look came together. I am all about dresses that cover my shoulders/arms these days.

Last night my dad rented out our local movie theatre for his referring dentists and their staff to see Finding Dory and of course we invited ourselves tagged along. It was SO cute! All your mommas with little ones, go see it ASAP!

I've mentioned my precious neighbor Georgia who lost her battle to leukemia multiple times and how her mom is making/selling necklaces to honor her. I have been rocking my Anchor Beads lately and I don't plan on stopping! The best quality necklaces AND 10% of the proceeds are donated to childhood cancer research… you can't beat that.

We have made it to the beach almost every weekend so far this summer. Every Sunday when we are headed home I am plotting ways to move here permanently. My happy place for sure!

FoF: vet bills and new purchases

[O N E]

I mentioned recently that our doggy has to have ACL surgery later this summer. Well last week we noticed she was drooling from one side of her mouth so straight to Google I go. Terrible decision. Doctor Google told me it could be liver failure, kidney damage, dental problems, etc. So back to the vet we went and found out that one of Bella's molars was cracked from chewing her bones. So on Wednesday she was put to sleep to have her tooth pulled and the rest of her teeth cleaned. Broke my doggy momma heart. And we are officially ready for the universe to give us [and our wallets] a break.

I had so many questions about this off-the-shoulder top I wore at the beach recently. You can find it here on Chicwish. Once again, credit goes to my girl Lindsey Thorne because I totally copied her!

I came home one day this week to find this on my doorstep. Champs + the sweetest note from two of my best friends? Made me so happy!

My sister got the pictures back from the photographer from my nephew's first birthday party and I just love these pictures! Will definitely be printing them!

I have been on the hunt for a pair of distressed white jeans but I refuse to spend an arm and a leg on jeans with holes in them. I found these at Old Navy and for $32 I am thrilled. The perfect amount of stretch and they fit almost as good as my high dollar jeans!

FoF: new vacuum and books

[O N E]

Our vacuum bit the dust [no pun intended] a few weeks ago so I have been on the hunt for a new one. Luckily my sister lives right beside me so I have been stealing borrowing theirs. I have wanted a Dyson forever but just could not justify spending that much on a vacuum. I think Brittany was reading my mind when her post went live. Maybe I am easily persuaded or she's just a really good saleswoman but this Dyson was purchased 5 minutes later. And the fact that it was on sale… score! It arrived last week and I am in loooove. You seriously would have thought it was Christmas morning at the Davis household. We took turns using it and squealed with delight at how easy it was to push and how great the suction is. We are officially an old married couple.

Last week I started a new devotional all about "waiting" because let's be real, that's what my life has consisted of for the past year. I am not exactly a patient person, just ask my husband, so our season of waiting has been especially hard for me. I find myself wishing time away which is terrible. This study is helping me understand why God puts seasons of waiting in our lives and how I can grow in my faith during this season.

I recently got this dress from Anthropologie after seeing my girl Lindsey's post and I am obsessed! I have already worn it multiple times and I know it will be on repeat all summer and into fall. It is flattering and the perfect dress for baby showers, brunch, date nights, etc.

If you follow me on Instagram (@mrsordavis) then you have already heard, but our sweet German short-haired pointer Bella tore her ACL and needs surgery. My doggy momma heart has been SO sad lately because she hasn't been able to run and swim at the beach which is her absolute favorite thing in the world. Have any doggy mommas experienced the TPLO surgery for ACL reconstruction? How was it? We are putting it off until August because we have so much going on right now and I am just dreading it :(

Now that I'm no longer in school I have so much more time to read for pleasure. It is one of my very favorite pastimes! I have been flying through books like I did before PA school. I saw that the movie "Me Before You" is coming out soon and I always like to read the books before seeing the movies. So far I am halfway through and I'm loving it which has me super excited about seeing the movie.
