A Few Things


1. We found out today that we are going to be selling in Austin, TX this summer! I am so excited! For some weird reason I have this thing that I have always wanted to live in Texas, yet I have never even been there! Anyone been to Austin and have some good recommendations for shopping, eating, etc?

2. Shantay let us borrow her DVD of the Dunstan Baby Language and it is seriously AMAZING! We watched the DVD last night and just in the last 12 hours I swear Avalynn has cried 10x less than normal because we are able to tell right away what she needs. If you haven't seen it you should defiantly check it out!

3. My sister, Cami, is a Fashion class this semester and her teacher has encouraged them to participate in "Fashion Week". If she gets other people to participate as well she gets extra points applied to her final! So I thought I would help her out and pass the info along if anyone wants to help her out. Here is what she said in her e-mail:

"Hello my friends and family!
I am taking a fashion fundamentals class this semester and from this Tuesday the 19th through the Tuesday the 26th is FASHION WEEK! whoot whoot :) This means that I get to dress up all 8 days for the purpose of improving my image and building confidence. I am contacting you to ask you to join me. Sorry i should have sent this yesterday to give you a few days notice but I didn't so please forgive me. So if you'd like please dress up with me...if you do the incentive for me is that I get a point on my final for each person who participates and the incentive for you is I will be a better friend to you! great deal huh?
So dressing up means...kick it up one notch from what you usually wear. example...church dress everyday
Don't go buy anything new, just use what you got. Use makeup everyday, accessories, those ties boys, and nice shoes!
If you'd like to participate...awesome! If not no worries, i will still be your friend!
Hope you have a great week! Email or text me YES i will participate in fashion week with you Cam!
Thanks all! Love ya lots!
CAMILLE
p.s. if you think of anyone else that might want to participate please forward this email and then have them let me know please! camillestagg@gmail.com"

I told her I am doing my own version (I'm not wearing church dress everyday), I guess you could call it "not wearing mom clothes"! I decided to wear nicer shirts, heels (not slippers!), jewelry, and do something extra with my hair everyday. So for me thats stepping it up a notch because I would rather wear a sweatshirt everyday! If you want to play along for the week you can leave a comment here as well and I will pass it on to Cami!

I will try it out. It's hard for me to jazz up my style around here, but I will do my best. I am going to school twice a week- so it could work!

Yay! You will love Austin! I hope you'll find a place within our ward. There are several apartments in our boundaries. I can help you with names of them. And a ton of other good things about the area. We live in Northwest Austin. Email me when you're needing more details.
