My first post!

I've been racking my brain for months on what I should write a blog on, and I finally realized the answer was hanging in my closet. I've been collecting dresses basically as a hobby since my junior year in high school, but I never seem to find a chance or think to wear any of them except a few usuals. The challenge: wear every dress hanging in my closet by May 20th, 2011 (my 20th birthday). I must record what I do in each dress, and I must take a picture to illustrate each post. Each dress captured my eye in a store, but I want to remember each dress for the memories and moments I have in them instead of how pretty they look in my closet.

I bought the dress below from American Eagle a few years ago, and I've only ever worn it as a swimsuit coverup. Tonight I changed it up and actually wore it as a sundress with white sandals and a white lace headband.

Me in our apartment!

Today was the first day of my second year of college. I feel like I'm getting old! After a day full of classes and chaos, my roommate, Abby, and I headed to our apartment to shower and change to go out and celebrate our friend, Ben's, 23rd birthday. Abby and I were the first to arrive at the restaurant, but I was anxious for Ben and his wife, Emily, to hurry up and get there! Emily and Ben had let it slip that Emily was expecting the night before at church, but since Abby got caught in traffic on her way back from Atlanta, she hadn't heard the news yet. Luckily, Ben and Emily were the next two people to sit down at our table, and Emily instantly spilled the news to Abby, who of course, flipped her lid with excitement! During dinner, everyone gave their congratulations, and Abby began planning "Team Baby Davis" shirts for us to wear when the baby is born. Katie, my other roomie, Abby, and I volunteered to babysit as much as possible and help paint the baby's room. After a hilarious dinner with Ben, Emily, Abby, Katie, Pete, Brian, Jeff, and Gary, we drove over the Ben and Emily's to cut cake and hangout. After a long day, Katie, Abby, and I headed back to our apartment to crash on our sofa. I honestly think that tonight was the best way to start out a new school year, and I'm ready for all the challenges that school will bring.
