I got so many weird looks from students as work today.  By the end of the day, I wanted to yell "THEY'RE JUST PANTS!!"  I didn't though, don't worry.  They're just children.  They've never seen a fine pair of trousers like these before.  It's cool.

In other news, Whole Foods opened in Jackson today.  It makes me miss living there really bad.  I just want to be closer to a Whole Foods.  Is that too much to ask?…not that I can really afford to do my weekly grocery shopping there, but it would be really nice to have the option.  Maybe some big wig from Whole Foods will run across my little blog and take pity on me.  They'll say, "Hey! We should help that girl out.  We'll start building Whole Foods Ocean Springs, Mississippi next week! Sorry for the inconvenience, Chelsea!"….a girl can dream, right?

For the record, H&M can totally open here on the coast too.  They're opening one of them in Jackson soon, and they just opened one in New Orleans.  Something needs to give here, people!!!  Help a healthy food and fashion loving girl out, please and thank you!!

One last random thought…I REALLY wanted to wear my black Chuck Taylor Converse with this outfit today, but my Rainbow Bright shoelaces from the 7th grade are still in them.  Even though they're extremely faded, I felt a little weird about mixing Rainbow Bright with this look.  Thoughts?

The Ice is Melting

Fiancé was just too handsome to not document today!

As I was walking one of my first graders back to her classroom today, she pointed out all the things about my outfit that she wanted.  First it was my shoes.  She really wanted them and did all she could to convince me that they would fit her.  Next it was my sweater, then my bracelets, and finally my engagement ring.  She proceeded to tell me that she knew who gave me my ring.  When I asked her who she thought it was, she replied, "your man."  I laughed so hard while I told her she was right.  My sweet little first grader then asked me if I had gotten it for my anniversary.  I told her no, that it was my engagement ring and that I was getting married in March.  As we arrived at her room, she got the dreamiest look on her face and said, "I can't wait to get married."

Lord have mercy they start young, but isn't it every little girl's dream to be swept off her feet by their prince charming?  I could see that image in her head written all over her face.  I couldn't help but think about how blessed and lucky I am to have found my prince charming.  He is so incredibly good to me, and I can't wait to conquer life with him.

A special thanks to him for taking these pictures! I'm going to teach him how to use that camera well if it kills us!…that might be going a little overboard.  He's such a good sport and makes me laugh uncontrollably.  Hooray for melting ice, by the way!!!
