I have had a wonderful five days off of work! First off, our house is coming together so quickly and we are hoping to be moved in by the end of the month!! It is so neat to see all the details we picked out together come to life. Ben and I are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives together. We have used these past few days to visit the house often to see what's new each day and to shop for decorations. I must say, we are working very well together when it comes to picking out furniture, colors,ect. I am one lucky girl!
The porch posts are coming up and we now have a poured porch to walk on:)
It is like Christmas morning every time we go to visit!
The painters are doing their thing! Woohoo!
On Saturday I was invited to be in the "New Castle Spring Fling Parade" in Henry County. I ran into their County Fair Winners who were so adorable! My escort for the day was one of the Henry County School's past superintendent's. He was so generous to allow me to ride in his car and I had a great time getting to know him... did you know they have a "Drive Your Tractor to School Day?" How awesome is that. I am thinking my hometown would love that idea!! After the parade we walked around their town center where arts and crafts booths were setup. There were so many neat things to see.
My Mom and Grandma came along for this fun event.
We had a great girls day out together, and even color coordinated
without meaning to! Love it!
After the parade my grandma, mom, and I went to see my house....I just can't look at it enough:) We then had a girls lunch and then returned to Meade County to pick up my other grandma for a Belmont party. My cousin is originally from New York so they celebrate this race each year. So, it was back to Louisville for some more fun time! We had a blast at their cookout and then I joined my husband and brother for a CD release party for our friend's band- Elephant Room. They went to high school with us and I am so proud of their accomplishments. It was great to see them perform and to catch up with some friends.
The next day I volunteered at the First Annual Miss USO Pageant at Fort Knox. This was a benefit for the Red Cross of Fort Knox and was produced by Kyle Hornback, Miss Heartland Outstanding Teen. Each girl competed in "Patriotic Wear" and "Formal Wear." I had so much fun crowning the winners and handing out awards.
She was TOO cute!
The supreme winners!
With Kyle Hornback (Miss Heartland Outstanding Teen)
and Hayley Franklin (Miss Heart of the Parks)
The grand supreme winner, Erica Grossberg. She is a MRS too!
Love this and love her!
With Eileen Horback and Deanna Cox. They helped Kyle with
the pageant. They are two amazing ladies. I am honored to get
to work with such involved community members!
After the pageant I decided I should cook supper and make some goodies for my family. Everyone that knows me is very familiar with the fact that I am no Paula Dean. I do not like to cook and hardly ever step into the kitchen unless it is to use the microwave or grab something out of the refrigerator. Well, this night I made chicken parmesan and cake balls. My mom was determined to capture this "Lindsey in the kitchen" moment. This may not happen for another few months...poor Ben.
