The tree

This year has been all about change for me so I decided that I am going to change the theme of my Christmas tree this year from formal (what it was last year) to multi colored and fun! My cousin Kristin and I went shopping for new ornaments and worked on my tree last night til like 2 a.m.! What a great cousin huh! Thanks Kristin! Well, here is the finished product. It reminds me of a party! Maybe I'll have to have one now...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I can't believe it's almost December! Christmas is right around the corner so I decided to change up the blog a little for the holidays. Next step is to decorate my house!

Thanksgiving in Tennessee

We just got back late last night from our Thanksgiving vacation in Tennessee. I'm a little hoarse today from belting out songs from Sarah McLaughlin unplugged during our 9 hour drive back to Florida but it was a lot of fun! Especially for John, he just loves listening to me sing!
We had a great time in Tennessee with John's parents and it was so nice to see the beautiful fall leaves and feel the crisp fall air that we rarely have in Florida. While we were there, we went to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, which is about two hours away from Knoxville. It was so much fun to walk around the cute little shops and charming restaurants. It was really nice to visit with John's family, eat delicious food and watch good movies and marathons of I love Lucy, one of my all time favorite shows! What a cozy Thanksgiving holiday we had! Thanks Marlene and Nelson for showing us such a good time! Here are a few pictures that we took from our trip.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We're off to Knoxville, Tennessee tomorrow for Thanksgiving with John's parents. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday full of good food and even better company! Don't forget to feed your pets a special treat too!

And I just realized that Emily tagged me like a week ago, so now I am supposed to share 6 facts/ habits about myself. Here goes....
6 facts/habits about me:

1. Embarrassing Fact: I cried last night while watching the season finale of the Bachelor! Poor little Jenni! And poor Deanna for that matter. He didn't choose either one!!! What kind of crazy is he???

2. Fact: I LOVE baking heart shaped cakes for my husband who thinks I'm a great cook! (Even though I'm not!)

3. Fact: I love my dog Molly.

4. Fact: My favorite holiday movie is Elf. That movie just keeps getting funnier every time I see it! Will Ferrell is so hilarious! Fine holiday fun!

5. Habit: Without fail, I hit the snooze button at least three times every morning. This drives my husband crazy! I would lay in bed til 10 am if I could!

6. Habit: I have a tendency to be a little on the late side sometimes. My concept of time is definitely what we might call a "development opportunity".


So there you have it! Now I tag anyone who would like to share 6 fact/ habits about themselves with the world!

Tribute to the "402 Girls"

This post goes out to Emily, Sarah, Michelle, Lisa, and Nicole- The best college roommates EVER!

Before the husbands, children, and "real jobs" came along, these crazy college girls spent their days laughing, watching old episodes of Friends, and getting into trouble! Oh how I loved the days of midnight Maverick runs, end of finals week breakfasts at IHOP, Woody's Fry Night, hanging out with "the boys" (Sam, Andy, Biehl, and Woody), our Vegas trips, Mill Hollow ice cream, intramural tennis, leaving Taco Time with empanada sugar on Sarah's ear (and Charlie brushing it off for her an hour later ha-ha!), shooting clay pigeons with Woody, $1 roller skating, snowboarding class, and most importantly, seeing my best friends every day!

I love and miss you guys! Let's get together for another reunion soon!
Love, Linds- your crazy old roommate that would leave half drank glasses of water everywhere in the house and was always the first to fall asleep watching a movie on the couch.
