love it!


They just released the New Moon one sheet (teaser movie poster). I could analyze this poster and tell you what I do and don't like about it, but I will spare you the boredom. Just thought I would let you know...yeh for November 20th! I will be there waiting in line with the rest of the 17 year olds...and drag Joeybear with me :)

Lately

It has been kind of crazy here at the Lindley household. First off, I finished my last clinical in PT school and completed the VERY expensive board review course with my class last week. It wasn't really what I expected, but whatever. I did learn that I have ALOT to review before I take that test. This is my thing with boards, I made it all the way through PT school (and had good grades too), but non of that matters if I don't do well of that national test....5 hours, 250 questions, one 15 minute break, and our review instructor said we had roughly 72 seconds to answer each question. 72 SECONDS? And these questions are easy either. Also, did i mention that I have 3 review books? Each book is 500 pages. Really? So I have begun the study process, meaning I will study 3-4 hours a day for 6 weeks. That is my plan as of now.

Next, Joey and I have made a big decision in our life. We have decided to move. With the new addition to the family (see pictures below) and our massive amount of stuff, we are BUSTING out of this house. We need more square footage, as they say. So we are looking at houses and meeting with builders to see what our options are. I would love to be able to pick out the plan, fixtures, etc but I don't know if it will happen. But the houses that we have looked at have been beautiful and built within the last 2 years. All in Madison, of course....Frank (my dad) likes to have the least miles bt us and my parents as possible. He actually once WALKED to our house from his. (3.5 miles over the interstate gluckstadt bridge), but that is a whole other story. So all prayers are welcome as we start this whole process (and for my boards too if your list isn't too full).
Lastly, I wanted to posts some new pics of the pup. Riley is getting so big and she is so so pretty. She is sleeping through the night too. Her and guss are getting better, but they still fight all the time (also see picture, Guss goes in for the kill). We have just started to teach her how to sit, stay, and all that stuff...but she is not taking to it so well. She really doesn't listen to any commands...and she is only 11 weeks. We chose not to watch Marley and Me (heard it was too sad and I am such a cry baby), but from what I have seen, she could be that pup's double. She acts exactly the same.



(I had to throw one in our me and my sweet heart. LOVE HIM!)
One more thing, so I am still stuck on Twilight. I have read the 4 books AGAIN and I can't seem to get rid of this obsession. I have even stooped so low to start to look at blogs about Twilight (sad, I know). But I did find this really funny one....and I put it on my blog list. Twilightwidower.blogspot.com. Its from the perspective of a husband who has lost his wife to edward cullen. This is a really funny blog...I was laughing out loud last night...but I was also laughing because some of the things he says sound like me and Joey. He HATES Twilight. Check it out if you are a fan.
I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

I'm Back!

Hey there. So i am officially back from my break from blogging. Twilight was AMAZING and i highly recommend it. I have watched the movie a half a dozen times, read all four books in a week and a half, and now own the soundtrack. I know i sound like an obsessed teenager, but i never get this way about things...might as well let myself indulge every once in awhile. But i am back now and with tons of things to talk about. Plus, i now discovered that I actually have readers...who knew!

First, my friends Becky and Ben got married a few weeks ago. Their wedding was so much fun and they are a wonderful couple! Congrats Becky Eidt, we are so happy for you two!!!
Next, my one of my very best friends Jessica Bailey is getting married (yeh!)...and her wedding festivities have begun. Definately fun times ahead. Her wedding is May 16th in madison. This is a picture of her and her fiance, Derek.


Lastly, we finally got our puppy!!! RILEY is here. She is so so sweet and super cute, but I know that we will have our hands full with this one. We got her last night, and she has kept us very busy ever since. Today, we went to my parents lakehouse and took both Guss and the new addition. We got to hang out with my mom's side of the family. Of course, they loved her too...and were tickled by the way she would fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I could barely concentrate on the 70lbs of crawfish without worrying about Riley or Guss getting into something that they shouldn't...note to self: they are dogs, let them be dogs, they don't need to be watched like a hawk.





On a side note about the new pup, my first child Guss is not taking it too well. He doesn't quite understand that she is here to stay. Hopefully they will be BFF in no time. Also, i thought this was funny...last night (our first night with her), we put her in the kennel as far away from us as possible. I knew that she was going to cry, but Joey was convinced that she loved her kennel already and she would be ok. So in the middle of the night, we hear the screams (they were bad), and Joey actually asks if i thought Riley was trying to commit suicide in her kennel...REALLY JOEY? i had to wake myself up for that comment and laugh alittle. No, she was not trying to commit suicide, she was just scared of her first night away from her mom and brothers and sisters.
We are welcome to any suggestions/tips on puppy training a lab....we need all the advice we can get!
hope everyone has a very happy easter!!!

ADDICTION

I am taking a vacation from blogging...why you ask? Because I am totally, completely mindblowingly OBSESSED WITH TWILIGHT. I read the first book in 3 days, and I will finish the second one in 2 days. (bought it yesterday, and haven't been able to put it down). I always said I wouldn't jump on the bandwagon...but now I am the leader of the bandwagon. Its sad. And Joey feels as if he has lost his wife to a vampire (and right now, he has).
So until I get over my obsession and finish the entire series...and watch the movie a million times, I will not be posting. Back to the vampires!
