I have given all I have to give

Dear Grey's Anatomy,
I think we have to break up. We have been in an intense love affair for the last 4 years, but I think it is now time to part ways. I have been a fair- weather fan the last couple of weeks, so I really don't know whats going on. But I saw a preview for you about a Grey's/Private Practice crossover episode that airs tomorrow night and I got a sick feeling in my stomach. We have just been through so much here lately: with Izzy leaving, the orange scrub people coming in, the chief acting all crazy, and Meredith/Sheppard's post-it marriage...enough has to be enough. And now you tell me that the pixie looking girl might be a full time person and Christina and that army guy are breaking up and little grey and Mcsteamy are done? I can't take it! I think we have to break up. Too much emotion for one relationship. I'm sorry, but its over. And I would not like to remain friends at this point...maybe next season when I have had time to chill out.
Thanks,
Kristin Lindley

Yeh Josie!!

This is my husband. Hahaha! Not really, but he did kill an 8 point on Saturday. Yeh for deer meat!!! I like to cook with deer meat because it is suppose to be leaner, and since I am chubby, I need all the "leaner" I can get. So congrats Joey, 50 lbs of deer meat will do our new deep freezer good!

And the boys at Joey's office have found out about this blog. My question is how did this happen? I was under the assumption that only females read this thing. Well they have been teasing him about it. Is this blog embarrassing to my husband? I think not!!! (Atleast I keep telling myself this)

Happy Monday!

That's what she said

So me and Joey have a new love... THE OFFICE. Where have we been for the last 6 seasons? I was first introduced to The Office on our girls beach weekend in October. And I hated it. The humor is different and it takes some getting used to. But I stuck with it, and now we are totally obsessed. Joey got me the first 5 seasons on DVD during Thanksgiving and we have watched it like 3 times since. From start to finish. Now, we haven't caught up with the newest season, but I do know what's going on.

Love it!

And this might sound weird, but I love Dwight K. Schrute, of Schrute Farms. "FACT:" He is so funny!

And Pam and Jim make me so happy. Joey makes fun of me because I get so involved and laugh at the dumb stuff. Yes, I know they are not real people, but this is some funny stuff.

That is all. Have a good day!

Ps, The Lindleys had a great Christmas spending time with family and with lots of wonderful gifts. I will post about that later...I just wanted to declare my love for The Office while I was thinking about it. (But not quite as much as I love Twilight...who I am kidding? Not even close!)

Merry Christmas Part Deux

Hello again. Back so soon, you say? Well I just wanted to go over a few things before I take a holiday break from blogging to enjoy Jesus and Santa Claus (and Jesus is definately more important than Santa Claus)...but who doesn't love to give and receive gifts? First I will start with our Christmas card... drum roll please... (like you really care)

For some reason when the picture got scanned in, it chopped Joey's head off...I assure you that its not really like that in the actual card (again, like you really care). Isn't that sweet Josie cute?? I just loooove him!

Next, I went to Pinelake's Christmas program Best Gift. Man was it amazing!!!! I mean, I am catholic, and I grew up doing the whole catholic thing...but this program made me want to stand up and sing during the program. (and that is a very uncatholic thing since my church is very non-contemporary....I'm not hating on being a catholic, but it is different from a Baptist church for sure!) Anyways, back to this amazing program. Did I mention it was AMAZING? I really felt the power of the Lord and I'm sure everyone else did too. I also cried like a small child the whole time....I am so emotional. My cousin Jessica sang in the choir and my work BFF and fellow DPT, Alyssa sang a solo! She was amazing and everyone who performed was amazing. It is easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas around this time, and Pinelake definately reminded me that HE is the reason for the season. That sweet little baby boy.

This is my friend Alyssa doing her solo thing....She did so so good!!! Literally brought me to tears with her song "Christmas makes me cry"

Lastly, on Saturday night we went to a tacky Christmas party at our couple BFFs Zach and Tara's house. It was so so fun!! So last year, I invested in a tacky Christmas sweater. It was originally 90 bones, but I got it on major sale. So I decided I would wear it to every party I can for the next 5 years. Anyways, we had dance party in their garage and our friend Mitch played alittle. (He also played at our wedding, by the way). The boys played several intense games of flippy cup, while the ladies enjoyed the garage dance floor. We also played dirty santa with a gift under $5. We ended up with chocolate covered pretzels (thanks Shandys) that Joey proceded to devour on sunday during our movie day. Here are some pictures of the evening.

Me and that sweet Joey at the garage dance party...notice the intense look on my face!

So I think that is it for now...I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! (if I don't get to post before then)

ps, just wanted to give a shout out to acouple of my blog friends for a sec.

Rachel and her husband are in New York right now on a mission trip. They are feeding the homeless and telling everyone about the Glory of God. I think that is amazing! We are praying for you!

Missy and Thomas are moving back to Jackson! Yeh!!! I have missed my DPT friend.

Alison and Mark have bought a boat. A very big boat. This has been their plan for awhile and I will let her share that part. But we are very excited for them!

Merry Christmas Part one

Hey there! Sorry it has been awhile...my last post was about New Moon (and I am still loving that movie). Anyways, we have been having a wonderful holiday season. I figured I would make this a two poster because there is alot to talk about and I don't have time to do it all today. First, I thought I would post some pictures of our house with the Christmas decorations.

Here are the cute things my mom made for our front doors. They were selling these at Mistletoe for $120 each and we made them for ALOT cheaper than that! Love them!

Our fabulous Christmas tree! 11 feet of pure joy!!! haha. I had to talk Josie into this purchase, but I figure we will use it for many years to come.

Another view of our tree with the dining room table.

The mantle. Our stocking are from Pottery Barn (and notice that Guss and Riley have mini stockings).

I also ordered a couple more for little future bambinos (and that means babies...but not anytime soon!)

The side board by the front door. Also known as the table that holds "the book," aka our wedding album

And that ends the Christmas decorations portion of the post.

Next up, I had a Christmas party/cookout for my friends from work. Yeh for physical therapists! I am so glad they were able to come all the way to Canton. Most of them live in Jackson and they like to joke that Canton is so far away....So Josie was the grill master for hamburgers and hotdogs and we snacked on some yummy appetizers.

From left to right. Melanie, Susan, Ellen, Misti, me, Wendy, and Ashley

Lastly, acouple of weeks ago, me and my favorite Phi Mu ladies headed to Vicksburg for our annual Christmas Party at Lindsey's house. We had so much fun!!! We played dirty santa and then went to a local bar to dance the night away...like old school Cheers style (if you don't know what Cheers was in Starkville, you missed a great time). Thanks Linds for hosting our party this year. It was so much fun! And thanks to my wonderful Phi Mu friends who are so fabulous! I am so glad to have found this group of women and so lucky to have these best friends. (and we missed the great girls that couldn't make it this year)

We were shaking our tail feather...haha!

And in honor of the girls that couldn't make it this year, this is our annual party picture from last year at my old house.

Up next is a youtube link. I posted awhile back about the Ole Miss Rave they had at the library in Oxford? Remember? Anyone? I guess that's a no. Anyways, well that wonderful school in Starkville had a rave in Mitchell Memorial. Man I wish they would have done that when we were there.

Longest post in history. Sorry about that. But don't worry, there will more than likely be another one tomorrow bc we are going to a tacky Christmas party tonight and I'm sure there will be some eventful pictures. Have a great saturday!
