This top is all like "YES, long live summer!" and then this handbag is screaming "I"m SO fall" and I was timid to start carrying it, but I couldn't help it. lol I love leopard too much!
I never really got into Vera Bradley but when I saw this leopard bag I LOVED it. It reminded me of a bag that was in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale last year that I always wish I would of grabbed. It's on sale right now for a great price and I love the size of it. It is structured, detailed, and can also be a crossbody, which is IDEAL for mama. As you probably know, since I carry it almost everyday lol, my Kate Spade Hayden Street bag is so perfect for everyday. I'm hoping this one does the same for me as they are similar in shape and size! Plus- leopard goes with everything, so this was a no-brainer.
But.. onto my exciting news:
I have a new job! This job was SO NOT ON MY RADAR and things have moved pretty quickly with it but I'm so excited!
My husband teaches at a private Christian school here in Fort Worth and also coaches football, and helps with baseball. About two weeks ago, I got a call asking if I would be interested in helping with the Cheer program! I cheered all through middle school and high school, and then also 2 years in college at Kansas State University. I immediately said, YES, but had to hold my excitement with BUT, I have two kids and they come first right now. So we ended up working it out with the school to where I would help out with a few JV games and some practices here and there to help assist the head coach. Perfect.
Fast forward to last Friday. One week ago today, due to some changes that had taken place, they offered me the position of the head coaching job.
So, to make this long story short and to not bore you with tons of details... I can only say that this is all a huge work of the Lord, and that I'm going to be the head cheer coach!
God really worked everything out, even down to the biggest and littlest details on practice, scheduling, and child care. I'm also so excited about the lady who is going to be watching Haddie and Louie a few hours a week so I can coach and I think they are going to have a lot of fun with her.
Getting into 'cheer coach' gear has been a total change in mindset this week, as I already have my third cheer class today, but I'm excited to see where this year takes us. Just getting to meet this group of sweet girls this week has me really excited for a great year with new relationships and new opportunities!
