No one needs a reason to celebrate, life should be a reason enough. But if you asked me this weekend what I am celebrating, I’d give you plenty of reasons….
For pizza and wine night…..
For finishing up the last bit of moving….
For someone who makes me laugh even when you are dead tired…..
For change (the inner and outer)……
bye bye hair
For friends who teach you how to EMBRACE life…..
HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY to a woman I adore!
A best friend, a sister, a true INSPIRATION!
Dorry, may your next 30 years be just as sweet.
(p.s. her birthday is tomorrow but I wanted to share this before the week started. So if you are reading this Monday, go wish DORRY a WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY !!)
Cheers! Now go celebrate your Sunday.
LC
many great reasons to celebrate 🙂
xoxo
YOU are amazing. I feel so uplifted each time I read your posts! The hair looks fabulous!!!
oh thanks Jess. Well you know where I get my inspiration from….people like YOU!! how’s the spin teaching??
Mahahaha! LOVE the picture with Zoolander! Too funny.
he pulls it off nicely, which is scary!
You’re so right–life is a wonderfully legitimate reason to celebrate every day. But that doesn’t mean those little perks–like pizza and wine night–can’t be reason for *extra-special* celebrating!
I’m loving the new ‘do! So chic! And many congrats on finishing the move! xoxo <3
i think we should celebrate those extra specials every night. Sound good? How’s your monday going friend?
i’m not celebrating sunday because the jets suck! but i will give a high five to you for a fab weekend 😉 blue steele
ahhh, poor jets. But at least they looked better than our cowboys. BOO!!!
For the millionth time, your hair looks great! I’ve been thinking about a sleek, shorter cut but I’m not sure I could pull it off quite so well.. Have a great day!
Do it Caroline! go short and sassy! hehe.
Happy Birthday, to your sweet sister! I love that empty house pic. It’s crazy how fast a room can change.
Have a great week, LC!
i know, it looks so big and empty. Our lives all packed up. Crazy!
Happy Birthday to your friend!! And yay for being all packed up. Your amazing and exciting adevnture awaits my friend. 🙂
it does! and I want to go now! haha. How are you feeling today?
Aww this was such a sweet post! 😀 Happy birthday Dorry!
I know! She makes 30 look darn good, doesn’t she?!
Cute haircut! 🙂
Thanks Friend. Feels good to get rid of the locks. phew!
Happy Bday Dorry! I’m still celebrating my team’s win over the weekend. 🙂
woohoo, yes celebrate that and brag all week, right?!
Aw, such a beautiful post. Thank you for the reminder that I have so many things to be greatfull for 🙂 Sometimes I need that little kick in the butt…
we all need that kick in the butt…..daily! I know I do! how’s school? the job? busy little bee.
yes yes yes! life is about celebrating every last second……and so true having a hubs who can make you laugh in the toughest times. glad you got the moving done and have a great week my friend!
and boy did I need that laugh at that time! tired and hungry don’t suite me well. haha.
Wonderful post, made me smile 🙂
Where did you find those pizza shells? Are those your favorite? I’m still experimenting with pizza crusts. I like premade best 😉
I actually got this one at HEB. Crazy,eh? and its pretty good. Thin crust so not as mushy.
LOVE your hair! I need to cut mine. I like to go shorter in the cooler months, since I don’t need to be able to pull up my hair like I do in the stifling heat.
loved the Zoolander reference! Both my kids made a face as newborns that we always called the Zoolander. “One look? One look?”
haha, i can see your kids doing that look! and yes, chop chop! I bet it would look CUTE!
So glad to hear you had a nice weekend.
What a sweet friend you are for giving a special shout out to your friend! Oh, and congrats on finishing up the packing… that is definitely something to celebrate!!
yes, celebrate getting rid of a TON and living more simple, ya know?! Hows your monday friend?
Love your new do L! 🙂 So beautiful as always 🙂
Thanks Jenny! Hey I heard a rumor…..job offer???
yes ma’am! and it was the one I most wanted so I accepted right away 🙂
Thanks for the reminder to stay grounded and celebrate all of the positive things we’ve got going for us!
[And I love your new hair “do”!]
We all need that reminder from time to time, especially with the busy fall season. Right?
<3
This is so sweet 🙂
So glad you two are celebrating a fun transition!
fun throwing away lots and starting fresh! feels good!
awww you are so beautiful in every way Lindsay!~ And your husband…is awesome….lol. Very brave hairstyle I say! 🙂
haha, brave hairstyle indeed. Although he can’t do much about it. He’s got that natural fro.
aww… I am celebrating sweet Dorry also. <3
love the haircut, and haa HAAA the zoolander reference gave me a needed laugh. as you know, Jason's hair has the same ability to POOF as James. I used to call him Heatmiser when it would get… BIG. 😉
I am celebrating a lot right now, most importantly that I have an awesome dad. he is strong and he is a fighter. he is positive and never complains. I recognize my own traits in him: stubborn, straightforward, set in my ways. fast driver, lover of fine wine, loud music and old cars.
happy week, my friend.
oh i like the sound of your dad. Such similar traits and thank goodness for that because thats what makes you full of LIFE! Praying for strength and healing.
<3
Lindsey- I wanted to share with you that I finished my first 5k yesterday! I wanted to thank you because you were one of my motivations to start running and though I have had a few false starts I am doing it and now I am hooked already planning my next race a 10k in November. Thanks for your continued motivations and many prayers on this next chapter in your lives.
Penny Lane
Penny, you are your own inspiration! This is fantastic! I am beyond thrilled for you. Please keep me posted on how all the training goes. Thank you for sharing this, Made my Monday!

Hugs <3

Pizza and wine….girl, I am so happy you were able to relax a little with your favorites! Can you imagine what life would be without husbands that make us laugh so hard?!?! YAY DORRY….off to wish that gorgeous girl happy bday! PS YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING!
Love the new haircut!
I tried a new recipe today that I love – plus I’m putting the finishing touches on two big meals that my husband and I can eat throughout the week for lunch and dinner. Productive Sunday~

🙂
LOVE this!! Cheers girl – lots to be thankful for these days, right? And happy birthday to be the beautiful, amazing Dorry!! She is the best, right??

Aww absolutely love this post 🙂 You and Dorry look like you guys were meant to be friends! Also, I am totally in love with the hair cut!!
oh we were for sure! and we met through blogging. Love that! Hope you had a great weekend Sarah.
What a beautiful post!! So much to celebrate each day and especially, for you and James as you embark on your move! I can’t believe it’s almost time! Sniff, sniff! And Dorry..yes, I certainly plan to wish her a happy happy HAPPY 30th tomorrow!!!
i know, sniff sniff. any chance you come visit before thanksgiving? pleeeeeeaaaase.
I can always use a reminder that just being alive is enough reason to smile!!! Great post for a kind of dreary Sunday (here at least).
P.S. I LOVE your hair, gorgeous!
well I hope you hang on to that feeling throughout the week Meg. Love you friend!
Looks like a good weekend to me 🙂
Love the hair! & Congrats on finishing up on your move.
Happy Birthday to your sister!!!
hehe, she’s not my real sister. I wish. But I call her my sister cause she feels like one. and she likes purple….like RAVENS! now you gotta love that, right?
Baaaaaaaahahahaaaaaaaa, I love the Zoolander comparison! 😀 😀 😀 Good to know everything is going well with you, and you’re quite settled again. I always feel very unsetteled if I’m not settled. 😉
What a lovely bunch of blessings! happy early birthday to Dorry!!
kinda like your weekend, full of blessings!
Aw, happy early birthday to your friend!! And I love that pic of your husband next to zoolander ;).
he pulls it off nicely, doesn’t he? Male model! haha.
For actually doing core work and experiencing the benefits on a run! (who knew it was reality? 🙂
For having a “weather mom” when you don’t have a TV and don’t feel like turning on your computer to get weather updates! 🙂 (Love her!)
For quiet yoga Friday nights! (Highly recommended if it feels right!)
For sitting in my car in the parking lot and praying prayers of gratitude and God’s guidance for the upcoming week- after a shorter primal scream! (Oh the changes- the first 3 weeks I didn’t do this, nor did it even cross my heart!)
For the random guy in front of me at the grocery store putting a divider and then engaging in a random conversation, which lead me to realizing I need more stuff for our taste-and-describe day in 7th grade Spanish! (Love the random kind now-not-a stranger!)
For good friends who respond quickly to a text with love when you MOST need it! (Even when it’s been a few years since you’ve texted them…they still care and know you need ’em!)
For our PE department sharing their space (the gym) so my Spanish 2s 8th graders could learn all period there! … For my Spanish 2s realizing and communicating excellently that they DID learn! (Love my kiddos!)
For students who put great detail into their work and whose signature is “remember to smile!!!!!!!!!!!!” (just what every teacher needs to remember when she’s checking her work e-mail on a Saturday and Sunday!) (Love my kiddos again!)
For great blogs that remind you of what is important! (Love LC and those who are important to her!)
this really made my day wendy! to hear such celebration makes my heart melt. Thank you dear friend!!
Love your hair! 😀
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
thanks Gen. HOw’s the yoga injury? eeek! been there.
Oh Zoolander – such a great movie! You’re so right that life is a reason enough to celebrate.
gotta loe the zoolander look, reason enough to celebrate LAUGHTER, right Lauren?! hehe.
great post!!
Love your hair – it looks gorgeous!
thanks jess! hows your weekend going? Any big celebrations by dear?
Love this post Linds!!! When exactly are you moving? Your new hair is AMAZING and the Hubs is too funny! 😀
we are moving around thanksgiving but we had to get out of our apartment this weekend. so now we are nomads in Austin till then. haha. Keeps it interesting! haha. Love you!
Pizza and wine…definitely reasons to celebrate!
celebrate we did, then crashed! haha.
So many wonderful things to celebrate! Your new hair looks lovely as well.
i think you have something to celebrate……..21.5??
🙂
Thank you so much, Linds! You are such an inspiration to ME, and I can’t imagine my life without you in it. Thanks for being my friend and my support. My life is so much better with you in it! xoxoxoxo
oh friend, I missed your call. Boo! Hope you birthday eve is awesome! LOVE YOU!
You always have such beautiful posts Lindsay, seriously I enjoy them so much 🙂
Life really is enough reason to celebrate, thank you for this reminder!
Happy Birthday to Dorry! (tomorrow hehe)
well I am so glad you enjoy them because I really enjoy you! It makes my day to be able to read and connect with you. Lets celebrate that!
Congrats on finishing up with the cleaning and moving (well the actual move hasn’t happened but packing is just as difficult!) I love -Life is reason enough to celebrate. So true 🙂
the packing and unpacking in storage and other places is what makes it crazy. So scattered but its alllll gooooood! Hapy Sunday friend.
Your posts are always so beautiful!
I watched Zoolander the other day, LOL, so funny! Love your hubby’s hair style he rocked ; )
LOVE your hair cut, it looks so pretty, I wish I could have mine that short, but its so thick and full, it would not be pretty, I have naturally curly hair : p
Happy Sunday! Hope the rest of packing goes good! Dorry is beautiful! Happy Almost Birthday to her!
well you have beautiful hair and i’m sure it would look great even in a mohawk! Packing is almost done and in unpacked in storage. WOOOHOO!
Lindsay you are too sweet! 🙂 Happy birthday Dorry!
Your hair looks GREAT!
thank you sable! We must celebrate each other, am I right? 😛
p.s.
How was the puppy filled weekend?
i had a friend who died young and unexpectedly. i remember walking around a lake the day after his memorial service thinking, “i’m breathing, and that is enough.”
you’re so right when you say that life is reason enough to celebrate! open up that wine you’re “saving” for the right occasion, wear that pretty dress you’ve put in the back of your closet, get out there & shake a tail feather! 🙂
thanks for the reminder!
yes m’am! I am going to bust out that dress and dust it off. hehe. CHeers!
