So my friend texted me asking if I wanted to go to the White Water Center and I seriously laughed out loud, knowing they had absolutely gotten the wrong number. This person knows me well and let's just say I'm not really the "rafting type". Well, it turns out they didn't text the wrong person.
I'll be the first to admit I was 100% wrong and we had such a fun day! Sunday was the 9th Annual Hope Floats Duck Race benefitting KinderMourn, a charity that provides support to families that have experienced the loss of a child. The entire event was so heartwarming and dare I say it?? Yes, I even enjoyed the White Water Center! Ricki and her friend were dying to rock climb, zip line, and God only knows what else so I promised we'd go back another weekend.
If you read my post about first dates, this was up there as far as trying to figure out what in the world you're supposed to wear.. So, after tearing everything in my closet off the hanger, this is what I came up with..

My girlfriend introduced me to your blog and I don't know how I missed the memo you had started one!
Glad you tried something out of your element with the "outdoorsy" stuff!
Happy Monday,
your new follower, Heather permalink

EM, you and Ricki are gorgeously beautiful in that photo, as you usually are. Glad to hear you had such a great day! Love to you both. Gary permalink
I vote for you posting your outfits everyday!!! permalink
On the Bachelorette you claimed that you have slob days ( i.e. leggings or pajamas days) and I highly doubt that. You always look so cute. I agree with Jessie to post more ootd's. permalink
You responded well to Ricki. X permalink
God willing, I'm going to marry you. What else can I say? That thought was enough to get me out of bed today. Hope your golf venture is a big success. permalink
Emilyyy omg I have watched two seasons of the bachelor just for you! You are such an inspiration to me. You are sooo sweet, so nice, so beautiful always smiling :)
And your trick about your lovely curls helped me to this day!
So thank you so much and via twitter I found your website! YAY

This is the best beauty & style blog out there. I hope you continue this for a long time. I don't know anyone who wouldn't want tips from you! You are so sweet to share your style and beauty secrets with us. I know a few single mothers who get sidetracked when trying to find new love, sometimes acting without class and forgetting what should matter most...their kids. You seem like an awesome mom and you were always so classy on your seasons of the Bachelor. You are a such a role model. permalink
I love your blog! It's so cute! You're such a classy lady! I really look up to you ;) have a great day!!

Thank you for blogging about clothes, makeup, hair. Is there anyway you could blog about the colors that they use on your hair? I have dark hair but I color it blonde but they never can get the right colors I like!!
So please could you tell us the numbers and colors they use so I can write it down next time I go in I can have them use your colors. I just love your hair and the colors!
Thank you!
