The Thursday Edition (...on Saturday)

^^chambray:  F21 jeans/shirt: OldNavy boots:Lulu's                                               


I promise we didn't plan this, but for our Thursday Edition last week we both rolled out in our go-to chambray's. Chambray's are by far one of my favorite styled looks right now and you can probably find me wearing it at least once or maybe even five times a week...
This week's Thursday Edition landed on Valentines Day, hence the subtle pink accents!

I'm all for a holiday that honors love through the consumption of chocolate.

Yesterday was Valentines day, one of the most outrageous holidays by far, but I am still a fan. I think that has a lot to do with my Valentine though. By the end of the night, both Teig and I agreed that it was our favorite Valentines day together out of all 6 of them!!

We also tried something new yesterday as a couple. We have both noticed that we spend way.too.much. time on our phones, especially during dates and therefore we made up the rule:

                                                       NO PHONES ON DATES!**



**except when taking pictures

And we absolutely loved it! This culture and our generation is held so captive to our phones, its a bit sickening.  To be without them and spend quality time together was better than any chocolate or flowers or jewelry (okay, maybe not that one) that I could have ever received. You should try it out!

Our night consisted of:
Teig giving me the H&M coat I had by drooling over for the past month or so,
Dinner at the Elephant Bar (double yum)
Seeing Identity Thief, nope try again. We were THOSE people who ended up seeing Safe Haven (good,but not great) because our first choice was sold out by the time we got to the theatre.

And the night ended with a single red rose and warm stroll down a vacant Victoria Gardens...

Our night was simple but perfect.



  
                I basically live in this coat now ^^                   Styling in his new kicks I picked out ^^



                                                         CLOSE YOUR EYES KIDS!

One of these days I'll start remembering to bring my nice Nikon along on these dates so that we do not have to settle for grainy IPhone pictures...

I hope you had a lovely valentines days! 

xo, K

Francis and Faith.

Francis Chan spoke in chapel today. This is the fourth or fifth time I have heard him speak and the "celebrity-gawking" face is well past over, however I reeeeeally admire the guy. Every time I walk away from hearing him, I am always impacted in such a way that makes me want to live life differently.
What I admire most about Francis <besides his impeccable ability to get the entire audience to laugh> is how he never takes credit for his words. God is always evident in his passionate speaking, in his ministry, and his time here on Earth. Today he spoke on Faith and the vast difference between our faithlessness as humans and God's unending faithfulness.


IT. HIT. HOME.


I don't think I have given the topic of faithfulness enough thought. Looking back on my nineteen years,  there is no evidence of God's unfaithfulness. When I haven't been able to see Him visibly in my life, I've felt His calming presence, and when that warm fuzzy feeling rubbed off, He remained consistent, whether or not I was present in the relationship or not.
As I transition into a different season of life and face obstacles that don't seem fair, relationships that don't make sense, and no strong sense of direction, I can fully rely on the fact that
>He has always been there.
>He is here right now.
>He will always be there.


>He is faithful.
