life update with a side of pinning.

Y'all! Whew this has been a dooooooozy of a week and it's just now WEDNESDAY! I am linking up today for some pinning but first I wanted to update y'all on where I've been and my holiday weekend.

I spent the holiday weekend with family, MAJOR family time! Friday, my cousin came over to stay the evening with me so we had girl time! {think pretty little liars, nail polish, deep talks, the usual} Saturday was FOOTBALL, we had my parents over to watch the Auburn game because we are BIG auburn fans and then when they left Tripp watched the bama game and I fell asleep {booooo! bama}

Sunday, my dad's side of the family had a labor day/August birthday bash which involved water slides, moon walks and a shaved ice food truck...no lie, they know how to throw a party, y'all!
 {mother, father and me!}


Monday, Tripp's granddad came down so we had a nice labor day lunch with his family {no pics, poot!}.

So that concludes my holiday weekend, so why wasn't I with y'all yesterday....well every morning when I wake up I walk the two big dogs to their fence outside for the day...as I was walking them in my OWN yard and both on a LEASH, the neighbors Rottweiler ran over and  JUMPED on my chocolate lab while he was still with me and started mauling him. It was horrifying to watch as I screamed but couldn't get him off of Beau and Beau could barely defend himself. It was a good 10-15 minutes before I could get my dogs away and inside enough to survive..literally the Rott would've killed beau otherwise. So needless to say, yesterday was a work half a day and try to get home to get through the day. The pups are our fur babies so it was pretty traumatizing. Then this morning Tripp and I had to take a day off of work just to take beau to the vet where we had to leave him to get sedated and see what needed to be done. SO that brings us to now and how I've missed y'all and how I hope the rest of the week is peaceful! 

So back to the link up with Going the Distance and Jessi's Design, what have I been pinning?! {all the pictures are linked}


speaking of pups, how cute is this print?! NEED!

  4. What a fun weekend! I'm hoping everything goes well for your pup. It's always hard seeing mine when she's sick so I can't imagine seeing her go through what yours did. Praying for y'all!

  5. Oh my gosh, Lindsay, that's terrifying! I'm glad that you and the pups are ok! It's always amazing to me how we need time to emotionally recharge when something that is physically scary happens to us. Glad you could recover :)

    XOXO

  6. Umm can we talk about how much I love your outfit in the pic with your parents? So cute! I am SO sorry to hear about what happened to Beau! I'm glad to hear you both are ok but what a traumatizing experience. My little pup was attacked by a dog without a leash over a year ago and I'm still freaked out to take him out sometimes. It's so scary!
