that one time i almost emptied my entire savings account because i feel in love with this little muppet puppy.
 
i then found another little teddy-bear for 1/4 the price, but i let logic be my guide, and we are still puppy free.
this picture is making me rethink my decision though...
my sister and i may or may not have followed this old man home to talk to him about his amazing car!
turns out if you wear an orange tunic to the home depot, you will be confused for an employee by at least 6 senior citizens.
apparently i'm always on the search for rainbows.
 
more proof.
girlfriend has a serious shoe problem.
had fun with ashley from the shine project, meeting her amazing new group of shine kids at the high school!
the great thing about my mother in law is that her house is always full of fresh flowers!
date night at the temple with my siblings and their spouses. isn't it a beauty? i remember when i didn't like the mesa temple because it didn't look like a castle. now i think it's my favorite.
my mom ordered me to sit, and then she proceeded to braid my hair. i will never complain when someone wants to play with my hair. unless you're a creeper. then i will complain, but just a little.
 
sierra's beatles baby shower//date night with my boy
a new thrift store opened up the street and i've already spent $100 at it. this could be a problem.

Happy Day!

Those puppies are so cute! I would of definitely be tempted to clear out my savings account for that little cutie!

You should consider adopting a dog from a rescue shelter. When you take one home with you, you save two dogs' lives.

If you're going to get a dog, adopt! It's the best feeling and you will not regret it. (Plus if nothing else, it's cheaper!)

And I second your hair sentiments. I LOVE for people to play with my hair.

That puppy is so adorable...we have gone to that same store so I could get my puppy fix.

The Home Depot thing made me laugh :)

My son thinks temples are castles. It's cute! And those puppies? Oh my gosh, my heart melted a little bit!

wait, you don't work at home depot?!?! i'm shocked!

Your mom has mad braiding skills. 


I also considered spending an inordinate amount of money to adopt a puppy, but my fiance talked me out of it. Then, we found the perfect little puppy for a very, very small adoption cost. She's now the center of our universe. 

XOXO, Lindsey

New thrift stores opening up down the street are NEVER a problem :)  I love what your mom did with your hair!  So cute!

Jennifer Kay said...

karly said...

love those rainbows~! so fun! exciting that you got to meet ashley! sounds like a good time! 

talley said...

first, your braided hair is AMAZING.
and second, somehow i have found myself reading a lot of fashion blogs run by mormons.  i'm not sure how that happened, but i like that you guys dress fairly modestly, and i like to do that, too!  so please appease my curiosity - what is a temple date?  i see bloggers talk about this a lot and have often wondered what it is.  thanks!

talley, first, i LOVED your comment on the social butterfly post! i admire you so much, part of the problem is that I do look around so much and i am so amazed by the world we live in that i want to document every sunset, every flower, and every happy moment! that's why i have such a hard time keeping my phone away! i do however want to make an effort to spend less quality time with this electronic device, so thanks for the encouragement. secondly, you can read more about the temples here ( http://www.lds.org/study/topics/temples?lang=eng&query=temple) a temple date is just a date night that we go to the temple to worship and provide service and a general life up-lifter :)
