NEW MOON MANIA

So ask me what I did on Thursday night at 12:00 am. Go ahead, ask me! While most of you were dreaming soundly in their beds, me and my dearest co-worker and friend Alyssa had a date with Edward Cullen. That's right, Edward Cullen. I am in an intimate relationship with him (sorry Josie). Me and Alyssa have been looking forward to this for soooo long, and I've had the tickets for atleast 2 months. And if you are a true follower of my blog, you'd know I've had a new moon countdown since March. That's right, I'm hardcore.
So, we arrived at the theater at 10:45 pm to find a LONG line of twi-13 year olds, some twi- mid-ish 20 something women (it is sad that I am in that category now), and some twi-moms. This thing brings all ages together. So we had to have a short photoshoot with our date for the evening...

He gave me a welcome icy-cold kiss (get it, vampire?)

He was distracted by all the screaming girls, he couldn't look at the camera

So we fought the crowds and ran into our theater to get the best seats. See, I put alot of thought into our seating situation. We figured it would be best to sit in the middle, but on the end...some of the girls can get out of control and we didn't want to get trampled. If something were to go arye (like people figuring out that Edward is REALLY into me and not them), then we would have a easy get away....always thinking ahead.

So we grab our seats first and have a quick photo session...

Yeah for midnight showings...and fighting back the yawns while we wait an hour for the movie to start

So excited...and we just can't hide it!

So, like I said, it was a LONG hour to wait...we were getting pretty ancy. I even had a few a SQUEEEEs because I was so excited.... then, the lights dimmed. And it was time.

Approximately 2 hours and 1 minute later, it was over. And it was a glorious 2 hours and 1 minute. Full of laughes and almost tears (I am alittle emotional about this movie...and the books....well anything related to "the saga" really).  It was so good that Josie is taking me on a date on Sunday night, and what will we do? Well I think that we'll go to the movies. To see the blind side? Nope! Hello New Moon squared. I plan to see it atleast 2 more times....and maybe even more. Call me 13 years old, I don't care. I am loving every minute of it!

ps, 220 days until Eclipse....let that countdown begin!

Amazed and tired

NEW MOON IS AMAZING! I am so happy that we went to the midnight showing, but i am feeling it this morning. I will blog later, complete with pictures and details about our evening being a 13 year olds.
For now, I'll leave you with this.....

So last weekend, Joey and I took our annual Christmas card photos. I am pretty hardcore about these pictures, and ALOT of planning went into them. But Joey threw me for a loop at the 9th hour when he walked out 5 minutes before we were about to leave in a shirt we did not talk about...and refused to change. He can be such a diva sometimes. haha! Anyways, the photographer was great and we had alot of fun...and Joey's "surprise" shirt actually looked good! Here are some of the shots. I am not going to show the one we have chosen for the actual card....not yet atleast :)

I like this one...

And I really like this one

And she took some silly ones of me for her website...

I know I don't look like a model, but I can't say I don't love getting my picture taken.

Should the Lindley's send out all holiday cards?

Happy Vetern's Day, Love the Lindleys?

Happy Groundhogs Day, Love the Lindleys?

No? ok, well then we will just stick with Christmas for now.

Anyways, they did a great job!!! And they had great prices...I will definately be using them in the future!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

ps, I would just like to say THANK YOU JOEY for not making too big of a fuss about getting our picture taken for 2 hours. He said it reminded him of our wedding day (when our photographer stayed for 12, I repeat, 12 hours to capture every  moment of our day)...not quite Joey, but you did great!!! And we even got a couple with that sweet smile of yours :) love you!

OMG!!! I DIE!

Looky what I found...The Eclipse NEW teaser poster

SQUEEEEEEE!!!

Countdown to the New Moon midnight showing = 14 days! Who's ready?

Halloween and such...

Happy Fall everyone!! Or should I say Merry Christmas, because Christmas stuff is EVERYWHERE. Me and Trish (my mom) shopped until we dropped today at Mistletoe Marketplace in Jackson. So much fun!! We got alot of great things (clothes, jewelry, christmas stuff, MSU stuff), but we also got alot of ideas for my house because Trish is real crafty...and we can make some of it for cheap! Too bad I didn't inherit that gene, or the cleaning gene for that matter. Anyways, here is last week's recap

We spend Halloween at Joey's coworker's house. And for this party, your costume had to start with the letter "P" So I give you..... the Principal on Probation and his star Pupil... haha!!!

Luckily, Principals don't smile too much...and neither does Joey (in pictures). He had a paddle that doubled as a shot glass and my pin star said "star student." I wore my hair in pigtails, and I will use any excuse to wear it like this...halloween is always an important one. I got my plaid skirt from walmart via the Miley Cyrus collection. I had an old one that was used for swaps, but it was way too short...did I actually wear that out of the house? Yes, indeed I did. In college, swaps = time to skank it up (but that is a whole other blog).  Here are some other pictures from the evening....

All of Joey's coworkers (the Pitchman, the Pope, the Pilot, the Pilgram, and the Principal)

 they were so fun!

Me and the newly engaged Policewoman

Next, OUR CURTAINS CAME IN!!! finally. Those 5 year old children in India must have been working hard for the last 2 months because they look great!! Tara came over and helped us install them. She is pretty crafty herself (again, wish I had that gene).

Oohhhhh Ahhhhhhh

Loves it! I kind of closed them to illustrate that now, no one can see in at nighttime (Joey was just convinced we had peeping toms because we made it so easy for them)

This is an upclose picture of the pattern...its called Gold Medallion something

And these are my Fall wreaths...and look who is a "pick-a-boo" little Riley Lindley

Lastly, I saw this on "Flipping Out" and I want one. Santa? If I am on the good list can I have one?

It just zooms around and picks up the dirt...such a smart little piece of technology

THIS WEEKEND: We are taking our Christmas card photos. As some of you know, I am pretty hardcore about our Christmas card. Joey, on the other hand, could care less and this little session almost turned into a fashion shoot with just me. He was refusing to go, but then I put on my best pout face and now he's in....the pout face always wins! Anyways, we are meeting our photographer for some cute, action shots. I will post more about it after this weekend!!!

Have a happy day!
