Oops all Storms!

I get busy. Most of you know that. I thought I'd share a few of my recent experiences and at least one outfit that I really liked wearing! I am currently taking a summer class, which basically means my life revolves around that class for the duration of the summer semester (thankfully only 6 weeks). It is difficult to do much else because so much work is crammed into such a short period of time. Also, I recently received a promotion at work and will be transitioning from my case manager position at the women's house to an outpatient counselor position at our outpatient office! I'm super excited about the change (and the promotion, of course). So I'm busy trying to train for my new position while still working my current one. By July 1st I will be in my new role full-time. I also got permission from work to be gone for four weeks to go on tour with Rodeo! It's going to be one crazy summer for me, but I'm real excited and just so glad that things have worked out. In July I will also be flying out to Portland to see my bud Danielle, who is being ordained as a minister! Then I'll fly home, work for a few days, and meet the dudes on tour in Chicago.

Also in recent news: there was a tornado in Bloomington! The tornado sirens went off at least 4 times that day. Each time the sirens went off, my brother Zack would put on his bicycle helmet and walk outside to check out the weather. Needless to say he looked a bit like someone with some serious special needs walking around like that:

That night we had many discussions about whether we should seek shelter (it's hard to know about storms). At one point I decided to sit in the bathroom for a bit, just in case. So I grabbed some snacks, my homework, and King James and hung out while the storm raged on:

Of course snacks are necessary for survival (as is the Clinical Handbook for Psychological Disorders).

I was a little nervous about the storm. For a time we also just sat in the hallway, looking out the window, trying to decide if we should wake up Jared or not. Ultimately we let Jared sleep and the storm was over pretty quickly. I didn't realize how bad the storm was, or that we even had a tornado, until I was driving to work the next day. Rogers street looked like a battlefield! I read today that the city lost almost 500 trees due to the storm.

In less scary news, this is an outfit I wore last week to work/school. I recently picked up the skirt at Goodwill but had trouble figuring out what to do with it. I've seen a lot of bloggers tying their shirts and sweaters up so I decided to go for it! Turns out it was super fun! I also have mixed feelings about longer skirts, but it worked out alright.

I love the detail on the bottom of the skirt! It's so flirty! I gotta get my legs out for summer!

Well, that's all for today. I hope you are safe from storms and tornadoes and don't have to choose between sitting in the hallway or the bathroom (neither one is desirable).
