Another one bites the dust!

This is my BFF Lizzy. She recently got engaged and is a new bride-to-be!!!! We are so excited for her and Woody and looking forward to May 1, 2010. Lizzy was my maid of honor in our wedding, and I am so happy to be sharing her special day with her as a bridesmaid. Can't wait for the festivities to begin.

Have a great weekend! I'll post later about our Halloween weekend. Boo!

Beach Bunnies (or penguins)

So while my friends are having fun in Starkville, I am blogging. Fun times. Here is a recap of the last week:

Last weekend Lexie, Kelly, and I went for a quick girls weekend in Orange Beach. We had a great time full of shopping (lots and lots and lots of it), eating, and watching movies. We even watched a couple episodes of The Office...funny show in a dry, dirty kind of way. "You have won a tiny Dun-dy"
The one thing we didn't expect...IT WAS FREEZING. Hence the title, beach penguins. But we did get the opportunity to see a cute, old man in a speedo...now that was entertainment. Here are some photos of our weekend.

So happy to be at the beach...in our sweatshirts

Look at that height with me in the pink hoodie

US at the Original Oyster House. Yum!

Next was Joey's Birthday celebration at Buffalo Wild Wings on Thursday night. Joey turned 27 on Friday. Happy birthday Joeybear...I love you so so much!

I couldn't get a good group shot with everyone in one picture. The boys are Joey's bests friends from high school...and the ladies are all the wives who are now BFFs.

For his birthday, Joey has been collecting things over the last couple of weeks (presents from me, from himself, and from our parents): a new scope for his gun, a pair of hunting boots, a new safety harness, a cooler for deer meat *notice a trend with these presents?  And some non-hunting related items: new tennis shoes and some polo shirts.

So Friday night, we went to eat at the Crab Shack in Jackson... it was really good and its one of the few places around here that serve really good seafood. On Saturday, Joey's dad is coming to spend the night with us for some father-son bonding time. And on Sunday, his mom and sister are coming for an early afternoon cookout.

Tonight we are watching the Bulldogs play...GO DAWGS! We will be keeping our fingers crossed.

Have a happy weekend!

Letter to the editor

Dear New Moon soundtrack,

You just came out, and I have one question for you: Will you be as good as the Twilight soundtrack? I thought the world of the Twilight soundtrack and listened to it for 3 months straight. Will I do the same with you? You seem to have some good bands like Death Cab, Ok Go, and The Killers, but will I really LOVE you like the other one? Will I found that one song that I still obsess over, like Eyes on Fire? I guess I will find out this afternoon when I purchase you...I am really hoping for the best. As you know, I pretty much love anything Twilight related so I hope that this doesn't disappoint. And my plan is to know every word to every song by the time the movie comes out. Can't wait to meet you this afternoon.

Love,
Kristin Lindley

Things I know...

5 things I know for sure this rainy Wednesday:

1. New Moon comes out in 36 days!!! (really 35.5 because I am going to the midnight showing)
2. God has truely blessed me with an incredible husband. He is more than I could have ever dreamed of.
3. I shop at forever21.com atleast once a week...its an addiction
4. I am looking for some classic fall boots
5. Kelly, Lexie, and I are heading to the beach this weekend for a girls getaway...totally excited about it!

Have a wonderful day!

Have you seen my husband?

This weekend is the start of what I like to call the "dark months" around the Lindley household.

OPENING WEEKEND OF HUNTING.

Now in Joey's defense, he made it perfectly clear before we got married. "Now Kristin, I love you baby, but I also love to hunt...and I am going to be doing it every year.....FOREVER." Well, I added the "forever" part, but he might as well have said it because it's totally true. So this weekend is the start of bow season. And after bow season comes regular gun season. And after regular gun season comes muzzle-loader (a special gun that you can only use for 2 weeks) season. So basically my husband is disappearing every weekend until about February. This weekend is the start of it all. The only good thing that comes out of this is some goooood deer meat.

I would just like to say goodbye to "weekend Joey", because I won't see him much until around late January....you will be missed and I love you...and I guess I will have to squeeze all my quality time in with "weekday Joey"

ps, i will just have to drown my sorrows over the loss of "weekend Joey" at my favorite retail stores....hello shopping!
