1 - That ^ its the longest subject I have ever named a post.
2 - I did some last minute Christmas shopping and wrapping today.
3 - I cleaned my room...it was getting a little cluttered with gift wrapping, tape, scissors, etc. :D
4 - I took a hike up our property today...with Knight. ;)
5 - A verse that I 're-discovered' last night is 2 Corinthians 12:9:
'And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in your weakness.'
It almost made me cry.
6 - We are planning on watching movies and staying up till midnight tonight - and then opening our gifts. ;)
7 - I added some new songs to my iPad (Arietta) yesterday.
This ^ is a pic I took on her recently.
8 - I haven't been sleeping very well lately...and was up till 1 this morning. Reading. ;)
9 - My sisters and I washed our family's cars today. :)
10 - I am beside myself with excitement for my upcoming Winter Ball that I have been planning since October. It is next week...so close, yet so far away!!
AND I would like my readers' suggestions ;)
The ball is formal, so everyone is coming very spiffy outfits. I even convinced a few of my guy friends to come in tuxedos!!!!! ::squeals:: And a couple of them are wearing bow ties - just to make my evening! :D haha
Anyway...I have two dresses to pick from...
1: a perriwinkle/light blue, empire waist, floor length dress. It's very simple, square neckline and thin shoulder straps.
or
2: my black taffeta dress - full length, full skirt, off shoulder...the dress that I'm wearing in the photo in my header. I know you can't see the whole dress, but it's floor length and has a v-shaped bodice.
I think I'm leaning more towards the black one...
but I thought I'd ask y'all's opinion ;)
oh and one last thing!
I wrote this post kinda in a hurry...thus the sad lack of photos :P

Merry Christmas to all my dear readers!!!
I can't believe we're almost to 600 followers!! ♥
19 of your thoughts:
A) I wish you could wear that golden dress you wore for the 12 days of Christmas photoshoot. Seriously, you looked like a 50's movie star -- you were my favorite of the models.
B) I would tell you which dress to wear with a more informed decision if I could see pictures of th dress... but as you stated before, this post had a sad lack of pictures. So, I'd go with the black. I can picture black going well with your skin tone.
and C) YAY! Almost 600 followers!
You should wear the periwinkle dress! It sounds so pretty!
Square necklines rock, Miss Raquel, just to let you know. I had this shirt that was bluish and it had a square neckline and I loved it. I grew out of it a while ago, but it was one of my favorite shirts.
Empire waistlines are the greatest thing on earth! I've always wanted my wedding dress to have one.... really, really bad.
ok. so my vote is obvious.
tuxedos? they are awesome. love! ;)
I think I'd have to see both the dresses in order for me to make a suggestion... ;)
I did 1 and 2 today too :)
I'm sure either dress will be beautiful :) Merry Christmas!
The black one sounds more "ballish" to me... the periwinkle would look fabulous on you, I am certain, but I am going to say black...
I think it has that fashionable air about it that belongs at an event such as a winter ball.
I will be awaiting photos. Have a blessed Christmas! Enjoy the ball! :)
I think the black one. But of course I haven't seen the periwinkle one so... I love the black one though. :)
( I don't know if that was very helpful.) ;)
I think the perwinkle sounds pretty and anything would look good on you, but I loveth that black dress!!!!! Where'd you get it?
BLACK DRESS ALL THE WAY!! I love that picture and it looks really good on you from what I can tell... :)
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Hi,
I love the black dress you are wearing in your header! It goes really well with your hair and skin tone.
I'm not a fan of periwinkle and I don't like empire waist very well, so I'd have to say the black.
I would have to see pictures of both of them to say for sure though. If you have time we all would LOVE to see pictures of both.
Love n Smiles,
Laurel

We better see pictures of you and the boys! I am sure you will look dashing regardless...
And may I just say- I ADORE that verse. :)
Merry Christmas!

I think the light blue one would look lovely with your hair and complexion (black hair is the MOST gorgeous), but I'm sure you'll look great in either. Wish I could come too. :)

Hello Raquel! :o) Liv here. I like your list! :oD Oooh, you're having a ball?? We didn't hear about it! ;) When is it? I think you should wear your black one..sooo pretty. :o)
Here's a [hug] for you! Because we miss you. We should do something together soon. <3
Love,
Livvy :o)
I can believe it. Your blog is great Raquel. Maybe the black one...it is so pretty :) Welll...book lovers sometimes don't get a full nights sleep. That is when they bond with a good book ;). What kind of dancing are you going to have? Like ballroom? Cause if you did the Virginia Reel I'm sure everyone would enjoy it. Sierra
Keep Growing Beautiful♥ (Cause You Are!)
I suggest you go with the black one. :)
Love,
~Bree
I really like the black one...but, as a everybody else said, I'd have to see a picture of the other one to make my final decision :)
Much Love,
*MissLys*
Though I have not seen it I think I would go for the Periwinkle one! Sounds so pretty!
