Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!!

I love Friday Night Lights! I started watching it over the summer and quickly became a groupie. The characters are so great. Season 2 has a few story lines that we aren't quite sure about overall I'm still a fan.

Here is a snipet for those of you who neesd a reason to watch:

Finally! Some pictures of our house.

I guess I "finally have time to upload a few pics". Okay, okay, so with a husband in law school who studies a good 12 hours a day I probably have had time to do it before now- I've just been lazy. I hate that I have to upload them one at a time. Any one know a better way?

Without further adu, here they are:

Scrabulous

What did people do at work all day before the internet? How did they look busy while not really doing anything important? These days (and like the last four years for that matter) I am an internet fiend. I weaned myself off a few summers back when Sarah and I didn't want to pay for internet... but I fell of the wagon shortly thereafter- and I fell hard. Luckily, (or unfortunately- you decide) Regan is equally addicted. Add in my computer/pop culture savvy brother and you've got a recipe for disaster. Don't get me wrong, its not like we sit at home on Friday nights playing World of Warcraft or anything socially abnormal like that. No, we prefer an edgier, more intellectual type of pastime for our Friday nights.

Clayton introduced us to the best way to pass time at work, school, or while you are waiting for Christmas to come around:

Scrabulous.

You might notice that Regan won in this game- but I was a close second. I should have posted the game that I actually won but I think I must have deleted it.

Life Immitates Art

Although, our's was a better cause...not that we knocking rabies awareness or anything. Today we went to Tanglewood Park for the annual Buddy Walk to raise awareness for Down Syndrome.The special guest for the event was Chris Burk. You might remember him as Corky from "Life Goes On".

I'm pretty surprised that Regan actually wore his shirt. What a good sport.
All in all it was a good time. The walk was only about a mile so he "suggested"that we head over to Shaffner Park afterwards for a better workout. I think we went home and ate pizza afterwards. Makes sense right?

The Dash

Despite the fact that living in the Residence Inn was awesome, we decided that getting an apartment was probably a good idea. We were really lucky to find a great place only 2 minutes from Wake Forest campus. Our new friends and neighbors, Andrew and Tiffany helped us move in, which we decided was SO much better than moving out. Check out our new place!

Actually, due to the fact that posting pictures on blogger sucks, we're not going to do it. Maybe later. Sorry.

We Made It...

In more ways than one. Today was our one year anniversary and we got into Winston-Salem at 10 pm after driving for 34 hours. We found our hotel with out getting too lost and then ran across the street to Chili’s. Not our first choice for places to celebrate but you do what you can with what you have, right?
Shout outs to:

1. Ann and Ben for their HOURS of packing, steaming, and cleaning.
2. Jordan for being the master packer and getting our stuff down to five feet (that was the minimum we had to pay for), and for the “war chest” full of goodies for our trip.
3. Neal and Sarah for housing us for the night at their apartment in Nashville... and for taking us to lunch to celebrate our anniversary.
4. Our neighbors and friends who helped us pack and clean, including the people who were renting our apartment after us who showed up to load our truck.
5. Todd for fixing the breaks on Lindsay’s car.

And So Our Journey Begins... (a repost)

So... WE'RE MOVING. TO NORTH CAROLINA. Regan got into Wake Forest University and will be reading/writing legal jargon for the next three years starting on August 13th (his 26th birthday). We are really excited/scared/stressed/etc. We have been running nonstop trying to get everything done. AND WE LEAVE PROVO TOMORROW. The bad part is that we are both going to drive our cars out so that means we both have to drive the entire way. Luckily, we're planning on having some CB radios : )

I don't have job yet, we're not positive where we are going to live. Oh and we've never been to Winston-Salem. We're crazy, right? We plan to get to town on our one year anniversary. Yep, we are officially nuts. Haha, hope it all works out.

We are definitely sad to leave all of our family and friends in Provo, we have had a really fun first year of marriage with so many loved ones nearby. We hope that Winston-Salem (which Lindsay already lovingly refers to as "the dash") will be just as good to us. WISH US LUCK!!

Over and out.

So, I attempted to abandon this blog and start a new one for just Regan and I but I decided that perhaps I'll just wait until we have a baby or something to keep it up (Disclaimer: if I change my mind-as I am prone to do- it is not an indicator that we are at that point...) . I got about 6 or 7 posts in before I decided that it was too boring even for the world wide web. But a blog about yours truely? Now that's a way to stop traffic on the information super-highway. **No offense Regan... most of these posts will still include you as the main course... I just feel bad posting all my own thoughts and calling them "ours". Plus, if its all girly no one would beleive you were a contributor, anyway.** Luckily, no one actually saw the other blog. I never actually sent anyone the link. I was just waiting until I had either

a) written something brilliant
or b) was at least steadily writting semi-brilliant posts,

which (d. none of the above) never quite happend. So in a nut-shell, I'm back. Or at least I hope be start posting again.

First things first: and update on our lives to come.

Little update...

I seriously am horrible at keeping this up-to-date... one of these days I'll get the hang of it.

School and work are keeping me busy but the LSAT prep is keeping Regan even busier. Only one more semester and then I have to find a job. I'm a little aprehensive to enter the real world but luckily since I don't know where we are going to end up I can only worry about it so much.

NEWEST OBSESSION: VERONICA MARS. Best show EVER.

I am really looking forward to the holidays. My bday is only a week away. I'll be 22. I know that that that isn't old but it sure does feel more mature, haha. AND, of course I always love Christmas. This year I'll be spending it with Regan's family. BUT, I head to Richmond, VA on December 27th. I CAN"T WAIT!!!

Out for now...

Mrs. and Mrs.

Here I am in all my wedded bliss with my best chrissi! It was such a great day and I am sad that it all went by so fast.

I'm getting hitched!

Here is my husband-to-be. Isn't he sooooo handsome?!

I'm really going to try to do better at posting...

Last night Regan and I went to dinner with my old roommates and their husbands- which I have to say was SOOOOO fun. We ate at an Indian restaurant in Provo across from 7/11 and I was pleasantly suprised by how delicious my Chicen Tikka Misala was- like so good. Mmm mmm. Can't wait to go back there. I really wish I would have gotten a picture of our food. This one will have to do, instead.

Afterwards we played Clue at Chrissi's house. Regan and I won the first game... as expected, I suppose. (haha!) All in all I think good times were had by all.

Auf Wiedersehen!

As my time in Washington DC is quickly coming to a close I thought I would post a picture of me at the glorious Heritage Foundation. All I can say is that I hope I never see another RSVP again. No but seriously, I am so grateful for all that I've learned during my time at the HF. And especially for all of the free lunches!

It has been a good semester but I am loving the fact that I only have 5 MORE DAYS until I'll be back in Provo. (And only three more days of work!)

Wedding Pictures

So it seems like this blog gets its share of wedding picts... but really, can anyone get enough wedding pictures?

Perhaps just the people who have to be in a million of them... or the babies who can't sit through them.

ANYWAY, here are a few* from Regan's sister's wedding.

Worst Flight EVER

Okay, so not like I haven't told every person I have talked to in the last couple of days how awful my experience was with Frontier Airlines... but I thought I would also let it be known on the world wide web.

Best quote (from the man with the foot long mullet behing me in line for cusomter service):

"This airline shouldn;t be called Frontier. They should call is CRAPtier!"

Well said.

HOWEVER, despite how horrific sitting on the runway in SLC for four hours without air conditioning and three screaming infants was... it was definitly worth getting to go on my trip. I had a really great time. Maybe I'll post some pictures next.

My new pet peeve...

So I know I complained about people not having elevator etiquette around BYU but my new pet peeve is OH SO MUCH WORSE. I really really can't stand it when people stand on the left side of the escalator. Maybe some people aren't aware of the unwritten rule so I am going to do my part and try to get the word out:

Stand on the right; walk on the left!

I'M COMING TO UTAH!!!

On February 14 (my favorite day of the year) I'll be hopping on the metro and heading over to the Reagan Airport where I will catch my flight to Salt Lake City. Can't wait to see everyone!

YEAH YEAH!!!

So I have been making $10 a day at my internship but upon speaking with my supervisor on Friday I discovered that she had budgeted $50 a day for me and accounting messed up my check. SO they are going to correct the mistake AND MAKE IT RETROACTIVE. You know what that means... LINDSAY'S BUYING A NANO! AWWWESOOOOME.

If you couldn't tell I am pretty psyched.

Foggy Bottom

Still on my quest to find a tshirt that says Foggy Bottom (the name of my neighborhood and metro stop). I may just have to make my own.

Highlights of the week:
Gettting my George Washington University gym pass.
Meeting and shaking hands with Mitt Romney (awwwesome)
Meeting and shaking hands with Orin Hatch.
60 degree weather today!!

My Life in the Capitol City

So, sorry to all my fans that I haven't posted in ages (all two of you). Life has been... new here. Between starting my internship at the HF and downing the entire network where I live I've been keeping somewhat busy. Nevermind the fact that it is 9:20 pm on a Saturday night and I am hanging out in the computer lab alone. Everyone else is down watching some sort of football game and the idea just isn't too appealing to me.

The Highs:
-Finding my way around on the metro
-Living in Foggy Bottom- very close to Georgetown and a Chipotle
-Running by the Capitol AND getting
-Beautiful weather (up unitl today that is)
-Buying a plane ticket for a trip back to Utah in Feb.
-Getting a call to meet the Bishop for a calling
-Not working on Fridays

The Lows:
-Having to use my key card to get in and out of every room in my building
-Getting an evil stare from some batty old women for eating on the metro (I didn't even know that that wasn't allowed)
-Paying $2.30 to get to work everyday.
-Only making $10 a day and my job.
-Feeling guilty for not giving money to homeless people (and sometimes lying- saying I don't have any cash when I really do).
-Shutting down the network where I live (I won't even get into that one- but I am pretty sure that it was my fault.
-Having to wake up SO freaking early to get to work on time.


My apartment is really nice- it is more like a dorm, though. I don't have much in it as you can see from the pictures but I kind of like that, too. Maybe I'll become a minimalist. I get a long with my roommate- and she showers at night so I don't have to fight for the bathroom in the morning, which is AWEsome. I thought that the whole community kitchen was going to suck... but it really isn't bad at all.

So anyway, I'm getting used to the homeless people and getting excited for the seminars to come at my work. Hopefully I'll have some better pictures to post soon.
