Happy Face

boots: dsw   skirt:  old navy   sweater: diy (tutorial here)

I'm pretty confident that I could dedicate at least a post a week about how Chris and I are different.  In so many ways we are complete opposites.

Here's yet another.

In high school there was this "joke."  I say that in quotes because while true, it didn't make me laugh.  Which maybe it should've and it would have helped me with my problem.

The joke was that I looked angry all the time.  I'd walk around the halls and my friends thought I was mad or sad or some negative emotion, because my relaxed, normal face apparently looked unhappy.

While I doubt I have a picture of me in high school, as I'm sure it was unattractive and I wouldn't keep it around, I imagine looking something like this.  Which actually just looks a little more annoyed than anything.  Apparently my mom only kept smiling pictures of us.

Chris on the other hand, walks around looking like something straight out of a cartoon, because his face was and is always smiling.  Which is why when I saw this shirt on pinterest I immediately thought of him.

I actually used to have to remind him in pictures to have a normal smile, because his was hugely wide open, extreme smile, and just looked silly.

(I realize he isn't actually trying to smile in this picture.  But I looked for one for about 30 minutes and gave up and really wanted to include a picture.  This was the best I could do.)

I even tried it.  Walking around with this big smile.  Well it looked fake and was awkward and didn't last long.

And I'm even outnumbered in my house because I have a dog that constantly smiles too:

Yet another thing I admire about my husband.  He really his happy about 98% of the time.

High Five for Friday

sweater: DIY  chambray shirt: old navy ($15)  pants: target ($13)  boots: dsw (similar)

1.  I made this heart sweater last year and am still loving it. Loving that it cost me $8 too! Check out the tutorial here. 

2.  When I was training for a marathon I often made smoothies and added protein powder to it, but that was the only time I ever thought about doing it.  I want to do a better job taking supplements or vitamins, plus I think just doing it would automatically make me feel healthier, right?   I'm thinking adding something like Bio-K+ supplements to a smoothie recipe like this, which I've made before, would be a good idea.  

3. This picture on pinterest really made my laugh this week.  

Especially with the caption:  full body sweater for when you're having one of those days.

4.  So happy and thankful for my birthday presents this year.  You would think I must have told my family somethings that I wanted or something?  Two favorites are these necklaces.  One from my parents and one from Chris. 

5. I think I have the funniest nephew in the world.  He recently started pooping on the toilet and today he said, "Mama, I know you are excited when I poop on the toilet.  But please don't clap and cheer anymore.  Just say, 'That's correct.'

So happy I get to see his sweet face one week from tonight.

Happy Friday friends! Hope you have a great weekend.
