I love my...

SJP Bitten Shirt
I bought this shirt for $8 from Steve & Barry's when I was in Seattle for my friend's wedding back in April. I thought it was cute but I thought for sure this thing would fall apart in the wash
by now since it was so cheap but after dozens of washes and wears, It's as good as new!

SJP, can you work on bringing your Bitten line/ a Steve & Barry's store here to Jacksonville??? All SJP's clothes are super fab and under $20!


Saturday morning pancakes


ESPECIALLY when other people/ restaurants make them for me!

Newly painted shutters and door




Molly


Is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen! She's my little pudgy puppers!

Back to work...

Here's my new home away from home! Now that I'm all settled in back at the old job I just recently redecorated my cube. Here it is. It will probably never look this clean again! The only thing that is missing here is a nice big sombrero. AJ Blogmont, you know what I'm talking about! Donde esta mi sombrero?

Happy Birthday Mom!

It's my mom's birthday today and though she probably WILL NOT read this (she NEVER reads my blog!), I decided to go ahead and make a tribute to her anyway.
My mom is a SUPER mom and so much fun to be around! Like me, she LOVES shopping, traveling and is a FASHION QUEEN! She loves her shoes and hand bags! On a deeper level, she is one of the most genuine, compassionate and generous people that I know! She just delights in giving to others and helping people any way she can.
She has always been such a great example to me in many ways. I think most people that know my mom would agree that she lights up a room with her presence. She has a VERY BUBBLY personality and NEVER MEETS A STRANGER! And oh is she a talker! She has a great love for all people and she LOVES her family so much! I hope when John and I have children that I can be HALF the mother she has been to me!
I always joke around with her by calling her a BRUTE because she is REALLY STRONG physically! She gave birth to me with NO EPIDURAL! Enough said!
Not only is she physically strong but she is SO SPIRITUALLY STRONG as well. She's been through a lot in her life, especially recently, but with each trial, she comes through stronger and better. She's my best friend! I love you mom! Happy birthday!



I hope all your birthday wishes come true!

Check out the flip side of our lives!

I just created ANOTHER blog that will be dedicated to our flips that we've done over the past two years. If you'd like to see the before and after pictures of our flips, you can find them all in one place on our new blog "The Flip Side of Life". I've included the link below. I will be sure to post and maintain any new pictures/ details of future flips we do on this blog as well. Enjoy!

Heaven on Earth

John and I went to Orlando today and visited the Orlando Temple where we got married almost three years ago(will be three years on Sept. 17). Time sure does fly! It doesn't feel like it's been three years at all! Our wedding day was probably THE best, most wonderful day of my life! And every time I go back to the Temple, it is such a wonderful experience each time. There's no other place ON EARTH where I feel so close to Heaven. I'm so grateful to have a Temple just two hours away from us. We don't go nearly as often as we should but every time we do, I feel so uplifted and rejuvenated.
I don't know if I've mentioned this in any of my previous posts but I just received a new calling. I'm now in Young Women's as a Laurel Advisor. I'm super excited and have so enjoyed teaching the girls each week. It's quit an adjustment from teaching Relief Society though! So we ran by the church book store to get some things that would help make my lessons a little more interesting each week. I always worry that the girls are COMPLETELY BORED with my lessons. I haven't been in YW since I was a young women! 17! Does anyone have any tips or tricks to share with me? Jill? I know you're YW president. Please share your wealth of knowledge!

Orlando Temple




Here are some pictures we took several weeks ago when we taught a special YW combined lesson on Temple Marriage. We each brought in pictures from our own wedding day to share with the girls. It was great!

Hi my name is Lindsay and I'm addicted to Arby's curly fries...

And Wendy’s frosties... Basically anything that is loaded with calories that I REALLY shouldn't’ be eating! I think I’ve gained back all 3lbs that I lost this summer! I guess it’s my new sedentary lifestyle of sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day! And those curly fries and frosties don’t help either! What is it about these delicious treats that make them so irresistible??? It’s like Arby’s and Wendy’s put an addictive chemical in their food that makes you crave them nightly! They've been talking to the Colonel! (Can you name that movie???)
Why don’t I crave healthy, organic-like food? Why don’t they use this same chemical so I will crave healthy food nightly??? That’s the question of the day. Does anyone have the answer?
