2 years!

Happy 2 years to love of my life!
No, we haven't been married 2 years but it's been 2 years since we got back together again! :) You see, Eric and I dated several other times before getting together this last time! In high school and college...many fun memories together. But the last 2 years have been the absolute best! Good thing I didn't hold anything against him for breaking up with me all the times before! ;)
He is my BEST friend in the whole world and I can't imagine life without him!

I love you Eric John!



P.S. Pictures are from the spontaneous Cancun trip we took after getting back together 2 years ago!

So I've been good! Your probably wondering what I'm talking about.


I'm getting fit! Healthy and fit!


I've gotten back in the habit of running...I was pretty good about it in college but you know when you get married and your happy and you don't have time to do those healthy things. Or maybe you do but they aren't top on the to-do list! I would much rather cook a yummy meal for my husband, eat dinner together and watch our nightly shows!


Anyways...I've started a few different things! First of all I've been running...for a little while now and it feels great! But also Eric and I started accounts at www.livestrong.com! You log in everything you eat so you can see how many calories, fat, protein, etc that you intake! It's pretty interesting to see all that you eat. But also what is so neat about Livestrong is that you log in your exercise and it tells you the calories you burn!


Now, don't get worried. I'm not doing anything crazy...I'm really just trying to get healthy....lose those few pounds I've gained since my lovely wedding day and get my endurance back from my running days!


I'll keep you posted on how I do! (We do!)

BUSY weekend but such a wonderful weekend! Eric and I headed home Friday afternoon with Lacey Kate! Traffic was horrible getting home but we made it in time to celebrate Leslie's birthday/graduation party! We made her dress in a cap and gown and take pics! It was so fun to celebrate with her! I made cupcakes...but 3 hours in the car didn't do them well. O well.


Saturday was a fun day as well! Got up early to get things done in PTC and then headed to Henry County to see sweet baby Audree! We had lunch with Alex and Elyse! It was so great catching up with them and spending time with them as a family! Audree has gotten even more beautiful in the past week! I just love her so much!




Saturday night we celebrated Mothers Day with my sweet Mommie! We had dinner and exchanged presents with Leslie and her mom and my grandmother. We really surprised my mom this year with pictures we had done by Seth(one of Britta's best friends)...she had no clue about them!! Here are a few of the wonderful pictures that Seth took of all of us! It's a tough job to get 7 people to look good in a picture!












Sunday we celebrated Mothers Day with Eric's mom! Church,lunch,lake and dinner!


Lucy and Coral at Lake Peachtree swimming! Lucy lives for water!



Us with sweet Nana on Mothers Day!

Us with Eric's mom!

We are so blessed! We both have such wonderful families and combined it just AMAZING! Who could ask for anything better?!?!? We got back late last night and were so tired from such a wonderful weekend of celebrations! We look forward to the next weekend we are all together!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! :)
I am the luckiest girl in the world!
First of all my Mommie is the the most amazing person I know! She carried me for 9 long months and raised me right! She always made sure I was dressed perfect with my huge bows! She always made sure I had tons of time with my friends. She always made sure our family was together. She always makes sure to listen to me about everything! She is such a beautiful person inside and out! She has always told me, "Pretty Is As Pretty Does!" and it's so true...but she lives by that herself!
Second of all I have a wonderful Mother-in-Law! I remember meeting her 8 years ago and she is still the same woman but now I can claim her as my family! Mrs. Hammarlund is a DOER...meaning she is always doing stuff for anyone and everyone! Who gets lucky enough to be very close to their mother-in-law?!? Well she is wonderful! Her strong Christianity encourages me to strive everyday to become even closer to the Lord!
Did I say I was lucky?!?! Well I am! I have two amazing Moms!!! Who gets that?!?! I am SO thankful to have two wonderful Moms that love and support me and my sweet husband!
Happy Mother's Day!
I love you both so much!

Okay so who watched Grey's tonight?!?!?
Lots of tears were shed!!!
I cannot wait until next weeks 2-hour finale!!!
Our neighbor Kate joined us for dinner tonight! It was so fun because she hadn't watched Greys in a while, so I got to catch her up on all the Greys drama! :)
Lacey(my sister) has been here all week with us! It's been fun having someone hang out with us and eat dinner with us. Can't wait to have Britta and Kendall come stay too!
So happy tomorrow is Friday! We have a jammed packed weekend ahead of us! I'm sure I'll have pics to prove it! :)
P.S. Today is the first day of 'Lindsay Ann is getting fit' again! It's serious. Like a heart attack! (Not really a heat attack but now you know how serious I am about this!)

Happy Sunday!

It's such a beautiful day! Eric and I have had a good weekend! Friday night I came back from meeting sweet Audree! We tried a new restaurant in town...not the best but glad we tried it! Everything is fried there...even Snickers bars!

Saturday we got up and took Lucy swimming for her birthday! She swam for about an hour and didn't want to go home! Then Eric and I headed to Atlanta for dinner! Our dear dear friend Nader sent us our wedding gift which was a gift certificate to Buckhead Restaurant Group...so we had about 12 restaurants to choose from! We went to the Atlanta Fish Market! It was great! Eric had never been so he was very excited and LOVED his lobster!

Today we've been hanging around at home together! Cooking dinner is on the agenda and wishing the weekend was longer!

BEAUTIFUL and so HEALTHY!
PERFECT!




One of my best friends and sorority sister, Elyse had her first baby! I'm pretty much obsessed with her!! I hope our children are as perfect as sweet Audree!

Such a proud Aunt!!!

Me, Elyse(Mommy) and Lauren! Doesn't she look amazing for just having a baby!?!?!
Sweet Family!!!! I'm so proud of Alex and Elyse! :)

Beautiful Mommy and Daughter!

Look at her!!!!! I just want to eat her up!!! :)
Okay so I've been so excited since the day I found out that Elyse and Alex were having a baby!!! Like SOOO pumped! Well the day that Elyse went into the hospital because Audree didn't come on her due date...she was actually 4 days late....I was so excited at home that I decided that I wanted to bake! Everyone knows I'm obsessed with cupcakes...but I made these from scratch...like the cake and icing!!! My first time!! :) And I decorated them by hand for the first time!! It was a great way to make the time go by fast and let out my excitement for Audree's arrival!!

Finished product!

Yes, I did this by myself!! It's a flower! :)

It's been a wonderful 2 days! Audree was born yesterday and today is Lucy's 3rd birthday! May 1st is her birthday! Eric brought home an icecream cone for her and I brought her home a new bone!! She was very excited!!

Happy Birthday Lucy Elizabeth! :)

Personally I think babies are the BEST BEST thing ever!! I get so excited about people having babies, playing with babies, and all that goes along with it! I'm so lucky to have Aidan and Audree in my life! Two SWEET babies!!

I'm pretty much obsessed! :)

I love you Audree Rose!
