My Flowers

Here are the flowers Mom and Dad sent us. Luke says the chocolate is really good!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Today Luke and I have been married 4 years! It's hard to believe that we have been married that long. Four years sounds like a long time but it feels like it was just yesterday. Mom and Dad have showered us with a huge arrangement of Sunflowers and Chocolates. I'll take some pictures and post them later. Thought ya'll would like to see some of our wedding photos. Dad designed the "set" and even constructed EVERYTHING the WEEK of the wedding! What a fun time we had with family. Of course, Luke and I were just looking forward to Alaska!!!

Don't ask me about that dumb cupcake tree. It was NOT what I wanted....I wanted flowers in between....and there were supposed to be, OH WELL!!! The caterer was crap but the rest of the wedding was WONDERFUL!

Family Vacation Pics

Ok, so now you're thinking ENOUGH of the old pictures. But, I found these and thought my family would enjoy them.

Some Old Lindley Family Pictures

This is Grandma Lindley. She worked in the school cafeteria in Sheldon, MO.

This is family at a Lamar, MO picnic. We used to have our family reunions there in a pavilion. There is NOTHING in Lamar to do....but they do have a water park (which consists of 1 pool and a water slide! woo hoo!)

This is Robert Warren Lindley...my Pa (or Dad's dad). I never knew him but eveyone talks about how special he was. He called me Tweety Bird for my BIG forehead!

This must be Aunt JJ's wedding (I think it is!) and Pa is talking to Holly maybe???

I love this photo. Aunt Lottie is pictures on the right.

I did Dad a favor today and scanned in some pictures given to him by Uncle Clinton. This weekend we are traveling to Kansas City for Uncle Clinton's 90th birthday. I found some of these really neat. I LOVE family and old pictures. It makes me sad to see pictures of people in flea markets.... I mean those are somebodies somebody! Now, Ms. Patricia uses those pictures in her house as decor and calls those her instant ancestors!

My Baby Pics

As I have said before I have been scanning some pics for scrapbooking. I haven't had a chance to scrapbook these yet, but here are some of my baby pics!

I can get my car out!!!

And I am SO excited! The garage door guy came today around one to fix our lovely door. Can I just say Royal Overhead Door is wonderful. The guy, Ray, was really nice and only charged us $140 bucks. I was thinking it was going to be around 400 so we were really excited.

In all the excitement someone came and knocked on our door. It was some weirdo that said he needed help with Polly across the street. Now, if you don't know who Polly is, I'll enlighten you. Polly is my sweet 85 year old neighbor directly across the street. At least she started out that way. I tend to feel sorry for people and it usually always bites me in the butt. She started calling non-stop to our house. First for her mail and then for me to fix her BREAKFAST at 6 am....toast and coffee. Her daughter is so mean to her and I really do feel for Polly...but come on!!! So we disconnected our home phone, my Mom called her daughter, and needless to say she has left me alone for several months.

Well I was really hoping she was ok....and she was. The guy at her house was trying to fix her car and couldn't find the battery??? Now how do you do that? I mean it's a big thing in the middle of the engine....go figure! So I left quickly and went and closed my door. I am so glad our Bradford Pear has gotten bigger, because I now feel like I can go outside and not have to dodge her hollering at me from across the street.

Well enough for now. I'm going to go open the garage (now a quieter garage) and go to scrapbooking!!!

Our Garage Door

Luke and I decided to go out for supper last night. On our way up our steep driveway we noticed the garage door wouldn't open. We could see the light on, but couldn't get it to open. Luke went in to investigate and found out that the spring holding the door broke! Thank God we weren't inside and it didn't fall on us. So today, it's a call in to Royal Door Company to see how much this lovely thing is going to cost us! Garage doors aren't a DIY thing. The bad thing is, my car is stuck inside!!!! I guess no going to Wally World until tonight...oh well!
