i'm BAAAAAAAAAAACK!

i know i know, it's been a while....but we moved to a new state...GEO-gia!, set up house, explored new city, trying to plan wedding, etc etc.  this is going to be a long one....just to give updates, and i'm going to really try to stay on top this time.  so first things fist...
Augusta, GA.  it reminds me of baton rouge growing up...bigger than clarksville, tn not as big as atlanta.  we've discovered a few good eats....rhinehart's oyster bar....and LOTS of mountain biking trails.  btw, i'm an extreme adventurer now.  HA! background: back in clarksville, brett bought me a bike so we could ride together.  he ended up trading his road bike for a mountain bike and then we had to upgrade mine from a recreation bike to a mountain bike so i could keep up! there are a zillion trails here to discover so its been fun.  did ANYONE think that i, LINDSEY, would be an outdoorsy, trail riding kind of gal!?!??!?!  nope, me either.  i was doing so well....until last monday.  there was this bridge thingy with bricks and i crashed.  not like flew over handle bars, but couldn't get up without help b/c i was IN the woods.  then i started riding scared so i had minor incidents after that and now my legs look like....let's just say bad.  have i mentioned i bruise easily???  its fun though and its something that brett and i enjoy doing together.  hooray for family time!

Next, wedding.  i guess me blogging about wedding stuff will be therapeutic and maybe it'll help someone down the road.  in our group of friends, no one has ventured into a planning everything backyard wedding event so this is unchartered territory.  it's going to be at Sandy and Josie Macmurdo's house in baton rouge.  gorgeous house with grand yard, ponds, oak trees, the works.  i'm heading into town this week to do some marathon planning.  we need to decide where to have ceremony in the front yard, where to put what for reception, florist, cake, dj, caterer, haircut, and brett's sisters wedding may 8th. whew! i'm going some things myself, like most of the flowers....my bouquet i'll have made.  i got a steal of a wedding dress (!!!!) after falling in love with a way too expensive number.  i think i know my shoes, about to order invites, and the 50 meetings this week.  i'll update soon!!!!

hurley man is going great!  loving his new backyard but missing his doggy dates at the apartment.  i need to make a bestie who has a dog so he'll have a PIC.  there's only so much fetch he wants to play....which by the way he is doing PHENOM at.  especially in water.  we took him to the savannah river yesterday and he fetched in and out of water for at least an hour!!  and he was still raring to go but i was getting grumpy-hungry so we left. he's growing so much!!!!!

and I GOT A JOB!!!  hurray!!  i'll be doing client relations/sales at a laser hair removal spa.  it'll be nice to start up working again....i'm getting bored.  there's only so much wedding planning i can do from 10 hours away.
please stay tuned....i'd like to think i'm writing all this for SOMEONE out there?
can i say i'm so excited to see that j.peirce/samet has started blogging again??!?!?!?  love.  and of course sari.  and now kelly!  woah, love it.
xoxo
