A Few Recent Snapshots // Christmas & Snow

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 05:33:00 +0000

Hey y'all!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I did. We just stayed home like we always do... cuz there's really no place like home for the holidays. ;) I just thought I'd share a few pictures I took on Christmas Day. Well, not all of these were taken *on* Christmas, but they're all Christmas-y pictures, so.... yeah. hahah :P Hope you enjoy!

Sam was glad once we opened presents, because he loves laying under the tree. ;)

Oh yeah....

and we had a white Christmas! :)

A family picture for the holidays! We're squinting like crazy because the snow was so bright. :P And I'm still wondering why I'm wearing that bulky coat while the rest of my family is toughing out the cold and looking so nice. Hahah... ohhhh well.

** Happy New Year, everybody!! **

{much love}

Wishing you...

:: new shoes from TJ Maxx (Thanks Mom!! :D)

:: our adorable pets (Toby and Remy)

:: fall colors and sun flare and beautifulness (ohhh yeah <3)

Hope you enjoyed a little peek into our backyard. I'm pretty sure I've said how much I enjoy fall a fewww times before. Okay, so more like a million, but yeah. :P I just can't help it -- this is the best time of year to me, and I'm love love loving it! :)

Yellowstone | Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:27:00 +0000

Okay, y'all... here's part 2! Hope you enjoy. :)

Mammoth Hot Springs (North Entrance to Yellowstone)

We stayed near the north entrance to Yellowstone, so we went through Mammoth Hot Springs whenever we entered/exited the park. These elk were around almost every time we drove through there! It seemed to be a favorite hangout spot for them. And it was SO neat, because we got to hear the males bugle several times!

Lower Falls...

Lamar Valley drive. We saw so much wildlife on this drive - lots of deer, bison, and antelope, and the views were beautiful!

Josh enjoying the view (and being silly). LOL

We saw this huuuge rock near the side of the road, and Josh wanted to climb it. So of course I had to get a picture. :D

Beartooth Highway. This road runs between Red Lodge, Montana and Cooke City, Montana. It winds back and forth all the way up to Beartooth Pass, which is 10,947 feet high! I think we all agreed that this was our very favorite thing we did on the whole trip. The views were just breathtaking!! It literally felt like we were in the clouds, and it was SO quiet and peaceful. More views below...

Cooke City, Montana

Cooke City General Store. This place has been opened since 1886!

Montana Moose Tracks ice cream. It was YUMMM-Y!

I love Pop's "serious" face. :P

( Mom didn't get any ice cream. She was shopping. hehe ;) )

Mammoth Hot Springs walk.

Bein' silly. =P

Feeding Goldfish to the park "wildlife." hahah!

- - -

And... that's all! Hope y'all enjoyed! I'm soo glad we were able to take this trip. It was a blast, and we really made a lot of great memories. I already can't wait to go back! :)

much love,

Lindsay

Yellowstone | Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 21:32:00 +0000

Hey everyone!

Soooo... I've finally been able to sort through the 800+ pictures I took on our Yellowstone trip. As you can imagine, it's taken quite awhile, but I think I'm pretty much done. And of course I'm posting some here, just like I promised. :)

(Also, a side note: These pictures aren't in any true order, as far as when we did certain things, but I'm okay with that. Hopefully you are too. ;) )

~ Part 1 ~

To start things off, unfortunately I didn't take that many pictures before we actually made it to Yellowstone. I do have a few random shots I got on the road though, so we'll start with those.

We stopped in a little town for lunch during our second day of driving, and this cute dog came up to us and watched us eat :) We were in a parking lot near a neighborhood, which is where he came from, so apparently he was just being a bad little dog and wandering away from his home. He was soooo adorable though - I had to get a couple of pictures. ;)

Making lunch -- peanut butter jelly time! hahah

(P.S. - Yeah, Pop is pretty hilarious. :P)

Idaho scenery.

We made it!

Not even twenty minutes into the park, we came across a herd of elk right by the road!

The famous Petrified Tree.

Yes, those are black bears! They were pretty far away, so I couldn't get a good picture, but we were able to look at them through binoculars. There was also a brown bear with them, but you can't see it in the picture. Next time we make a trip like this, I definitely want to have a zoom lens. It's almost a must when there's so much wildlife around.

Upper Falls...

Old Faithful!

Me and Josh. :)

Shopping in West Yellowstone...

Sunset at our cabin.

- - - -

I've still got a lot of pictures I want to share, so stay tuned for Part 2! :)

xoxo,

Tumblr Thursday // Vol. 2

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:09:00 +0000

Well, it's Thursday, and since it's been *two months* since I posted my first Tumblr Thursday, I thought it was high time I posted another one. I said I was gonna do these every other week, but I obviously didn't really follow through with that. So I'm thinking once a month might be a better idea. That'll be the new plan... at least for now. :P

So here it is -- this week's/month's Tumblr Thursday:

- - - -

A few thoughts about this month's selections:

1. Taylor Swift, why are you making me want bangs again, even though I know they would drive me nuts like they always do? I will not do it. Will. not. Ah, the never ending story of my life. :P

2. I love fall. A whoooole lot.

3. I could probably watch Pride and Prejudice every day. For real. And that scene where Mr. Darcy actually smiles? I die. <3

- - - -

Did you have a favorite from this post?

new design (yes... already)

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 06:16:00 +0000

Hey everyone!

So if you've visited my blog in the past week or so, you probably noticed things were a little crazy. That's because I decided to make a few changes around here. And... after a change here and a change there, it kind of turned into a complete redesign.

The header.
The sidebar.
The page menu.
I even added social media icons! (Are they cute or what? ;) I was so excited to figure out how to make those. haha)

I hope y'all like it! It took me forever to figure out exactly what I wanted to do and then actually design it. I went through a million different headers and color schemes until I finally settled on this. It should be around for awhile though - longer than my old design at least. Then again, that's not saying much. lol :P

So yeah... nine posts into my new blog, and there's already a new design up. What can I say, yolo. No, just kidding! ^_^

Happy Monday, y'all!!

We're homeee.

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:12:00 +0000

{Lamar Valley :: northeast Yellowstone}

Yes, we are back from vacation. We had a *wonderful* trip to Yellowstone. It was so beautiful, and I enjoyed every minute of our time in the mountains. We're already planning on going back again next year (and I already can't wait!). :) Of course it's always good to get back home and fall back into the routine of things too. It's definitely a bittersweet feeling.

Right now I'm working on editing alllll the pictures I took. I'll be posting some of those here soon. I took about 800 total, so I'm gonna have to narrow it down a bit, I think. heheh ;) I also filmed some videos. I'd love to make one video with a bunch of clips from the trip, but I seriously have zero video editing knowledge. Zero. So... you probably won't be seeing that on here. We'll see though -- maybe I can figure something out.

Anyway, I'll definitely be back with a big picture post soon!

Until next time,

~ Lindsay

Vacation Time!!

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:02:00 +0000

random Photo Booth pics of me and my bestie, Sammy ;)

Hey everyone!

So when you read this, we'll be hitting the road and on our way to beautiful Yellowstone. That's right -- it's vacation time, and I'm sosososoooo excited! I won't be on the internet while we're gone, so I'll talk to y'all once we get back!

xoxo,
Lindsay

Midweek Randomness

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 00:25:00 +0000

Hey everyone!

So is it just me, or does this totally not seem like a Wednesday? Labor Day has completely thrown me off, and this just feels like such a Tuesday to me. o_O Haha, anyway.

Yesterday I got this adorable laptop case in the mail. I've had my Macbook for about six months now, and I thought it was probably a good idea to buy a case for it. So after looking around on Amazon, I decided on this robin's egg blue one.

Isn't it pretty? I loveee the color!

side note: Yes, that's a Bambi pillowcase in the background. Oh yeah. :)

And I didn't even realize this, but it matches my current desktop background (which might look familiar *wink*) perfectly!

See? ♥

- - - -

Now, I've also been on the lookout for a purse I can bring on our vacation. (We'll be leaving in a week and a half... sooo exciting!) I want something pretty simple, that I can just throw my stuff in and go. So while I was in Target this weekend, I found this cute messenger style bag.

I really like it, but... I'm not sure. They had one just like this in a solid black, and I'm thinking maybe I should've gotten that one instead. Don't get me wrong, I lovee this floral one, but black goes with literally everything, so that might be the better choice. I don't know! Should I bring this one back and exchange it for the black one? They're only $14.99, so maybe I should just go back and buy the black one too? lol :P I'm so indecisive, it's not even funny.

- - - -

Okay, I guess that's it for today! I'm off to watch some baseball and enjoy a bowl of spaghetti and a salad. :)

xoxo

We went to see The Dark Knight Rises (again), and it was ah-mazing (again).

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 06:40:00 +0000

Ahh, I love this movie so much, y'all.

The whole Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy is just so freakin' awesome, and this last movie is my favorite of the three, for sure.
It's wayyy up there on my list of fav movies ever, if not at the very top.
Oh yeah.
That's how awesome it is.

So of course going to see it once in the theater wasn't enough.
Neither was going to see it twice.
Nope.
My Batman-lovin' sister and I went to see it AGAIN, for the third time on Tuesday.

All I can say is...

Best movie ever.

Best soundtrack ever. (I love you, Hans Zimmer.)

Batman is officially my fav super hero.

And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is just... asdfghjkl.

The end.

P.S. - Those (dorky) pictures of me are courtesy of my sister and her iTouch. :)

It's always a good time...

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 05:55:00 +0000

... when Owl City releases a new album!

YES.

Owl City (aka, the wonderful Adam Young) released his new CD The Midsummer Station today!
I've been looking forward to this album for what seems like forevvvver.
I've literally been counting down the days for like the past month (just ask my sister, heheh). ;)
So needless to say, I went straight to Target and bought it this afternoon.

Oh my gosh.
It's ah-mazing.
It's perfect.

AND I LOVE IT.

The first track, "Dreams and Disasters" might be my favorite.
But I also like "Gold", "Good Time","Embers", "Metropolis" and.... okay, forget that. :P
The whole thing's just great!

Anyway. This will be on repeat over here for the next few days.

xoxo

Tumblr Thursday // Vol. 1

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 20:48:00 +0000

In case you didn't know, I kind of love Tumblr. For the longest time, I just wondered what the whole dealio was all about. But... when I finally decided to make my own Tumblr, I figured it out pretty fast. Now it's one of my favorite places to go for a little inspiration, laughter, and of course, to fangirl over my favorite movies/actors. (That last one is what I do most of the time, just so ya know.) heheh :P

Anyway, I've decided to post Tumblr Thursdays here on the blog. I'll probably only do these every other Thursday (cuz I don't want this to turn into my Tumblr away from Tumblr - haha), but I'll have to see. This will just give you a peek into what I'm loving at the moment.

So without further ado, here's Volume 1 -- just a few Tumblr favs from recent days. :)

- - - -

Yeah, lots of Batman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have been happening lately.
Not a bad thing... at least in my opinion. ;)

And ohhh my gosh. When I saw that last picture I just about died from laughter. So funny!

You can check out my Tumblr for more awesomeness. :)

{much love}

A Little Weekend Shopping...

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 02:55:00 +0000

On Saturday my mom and sissy and I made a little trip to the mall. I bought a couple of things at Ross. They always have the best prices, and you just never know what you're gonna find in there.

First, I found this gray/black ruffle shirt. I thought it was really cute; anything with ruffles always catches my eye. I actually wore it today -- hence the pictures below. ;)

(And here we have a random self-portrait, just because. ;) )

Moving on... I also found a box of SIX Essie nail polishes for $17.99! I was SO excited. I thought about not getting them, but I knew I'd regret it if I put them back. I love Essie, and for that price I just couldn't pass these up. (They're usually around $8.00 a bottle at Target.) Gotta love a good deal like that!

Aren't they pretty? I love all the colors. The orange is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I like it. Oh, and the purple one on the far right has sparkles in it! ♥ I can't wait to try them all.

Colors from left to right: Super Bossa Nova, Braziliant, Silken Cord, Power Clutch, Antique Rose, and Wild Thing.

- - - -

Ah, I love shopping. :) That's all for now!

Until next time,

Lindsay

Splash of Sunshine Blog Party

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 20:48:00 +0000

Just hopping on to participate in Ashley and RJ's summer blog party. Cuz who doesn't love a good blog party? The prizes are preeeetty nice, and the questions look like fun. So let's get started!

1. What word are you totally loving at the moment?

Well, I say "whatever" a lot. Kind of a funny answer, but..... whatever. (Hahaha, yeah I can be pretty corny sometimes. :P)

2. Any tv shows/movies you are excited for this fall?

Hmmm, I don't know. I honestly don't watch too many current TV shows, so movies? Does The Hobbit count? It's coming out this winter, but oh well. I am so excited for that!

3. Anything that symbolizes something to you?

I can't really think of anything at the moment. Of course I probably will later. heh

4. Two favorite songs at the moment?

This is such a hard question! I listen to A LOT of music. I could never have just two favorites, but a couple of favs right now would be "Runaway" by Mat Kearney and "Good Time" by Owl City.

5. If there was suddenly a world taker over by an evil dictator what would you do?

I don't know.... call Batman? LOL, yeah... I don't know.

6. What is your favorite summer activity?

Staying inside all day long in the air conditioning. :P Just kidding. Well, actually not really, because that's pretty much what I've been doing all summer. But I guess I could go with swimming too. Although I haven't done that once this summer. HA! Why don't we pretend this question never happened, because I'm not making any sense. ^_^

7. What has been your favorite summer vacation?

Our family vacation to Yellowstone in 2005. It was the best time I've ever had on a vacation. I loved it. (P.S. - We're going back in September!! As in, this Septemeber! I'm suuuuper excited.)

8. If you received an unlimited shopping spree to any store, what store would it be for?

Oh boy. Probably Target, Kohl's, or Forever 21. I think Target would be my first choice though. I'm kind of addicted to that store. ;)

9. What is your favorite summertime food?

Berries, hamburgers, lemonade, and my favorite ever lime sherbet punch.

10. What is your favorite summertime movie?

So I don't completely understand this question. Favorite summer movie *ever*, or favorite movie of this summer? I think I'll go with the last one. So my favorite movie I've seen this summer would HAVE to be The Dark Knight Rises. It was sososososo good. I loved it!!

- - - -

Well, that's it. If you'd like to participate, just go here or here. It ends on the 10th though, so don't dawdle! ;)

much love,
Lindsay

Heeere we go.

noreply@blogger.com (Lindsay) — Mon, 06 Aug 2012 22:59:00 +0000

Hey everyone!

Yes, it's true. I'm returning to the blog world, after almost exactly a year since I last posted on my old blog, "Content in Christ." Since it's been so long, I thought it would be best to start with something totally fresh. So that's what brings us here, to my brand new blog! "She Is Lindsay" has kind of become my online name for a lot of the social media sites I'm on, and I thought it made a pretty great blog name, so... "She Is Lindsay" it is.

As you can see, things are lookin' pretty nice here, right? ;) It's definitely different than my old blog, and that's what I was going for. Something totally new and unique. I'm sure I'll be changing some stuff, but that's kind of the way I roll. Always messing with something. haha

Anyway, I'm so excited to be back. I've missed blogging a lot, and really missed keeping up with all my online friends. ;)

So yeah. Heeere we go... again!

xoxo,
Lindsay
