Remember this dress from the Design Your Look challenge? Yeah, I didn't win the challenge, but I had to have the dress! I love it. 

I'm so sorry I've been away from you all for the past week! Many things have happened that have kept me busy. 

-I went home to crown the new Mayfete Queen (it's like prom) at Lake Oswego High School. Congrats to Sara! And I got to meet some of my teacher's children. One of which looks like a young Justin Bieber. I got to hold the hand of a four-year-old heartthrob in the making. Girls, eat your hearts out. 

-For Easter, my family and I (including the two doggies) went to Skamania Lodge on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge. The food was amazing. And people were looking at me because I decided to dress up (it's an opportunity! not an obligation) while many people were in jeans. But damn, I know I looked good. (Pictured above)

-It has pretty much poured for a week. So I've been in athletic clothes all week. Sad. 

-I joined Weight Watchers! Fighting with the zipper of that dress was the last stray. Last year I was on a medication that made me ravenously hungry and I gained 40 pounds. I finally decided to get some professional help and get in tip top shape. I'm gonna be the diva I was born to be. 

-And the best news of all! I was accepted into the Oregon State Apparel Design Professional Program! I am officially an Apparel Design Major. Yay me! 

I promise I won't leave you like this again! 

Have a great weekend!
