Redheads Do Have More Fun?

It was time for a change. Fall always brings new exciting things to my hairstyle. I'm fortunate enough to have a stylist who understands exactly my style and perfects it every time. Usually I'll get a streak of a fun color or what now but this time I wanted a drastic change. I have been trying to grow my hair out and it is slowly getting there so a trim was only necessary. The drastic part I wanted was bangs, only if I didn't look 10, and color. I've always been a blonde. It's just me and my natural color. So I decided to go red and caramel for the fall! Platinum will return in the spring but for now I'm in love with the new do! So without further adieu. Meet the new and improved Lindsey!

Bolting For Myra

My aunt Myra is a survivor of breast cancer.  During treatment I was born and it's always been a special bond between she and I. This year our precious town had its first annual "Booby Bolt" 5k.  Lindsey and I decided to sign up and join our team at our church. We made shirts and the whole shebang.  The lady who organized it did a fabulous job! Being a survivor herself, she stated that she simply wanted just 50 to sign up and in her dreams 100.  We had over 250 participate!  How successful for a first annual event. It was very well organized and it was so overwhelmingly emotional running and finishing this race for my Aunt Myra. Today we celebrated her and God's amazing healing on her life! We love you Aunt Myra!

Homecoming 2011

This years homecoming was stretched out over the course of a few weeks due to a few cancellations and such.  Here's a break down of the days in pictures!


Hawaiian Day--spent with Bob Marley music and the sound of ocean waves throughout our classrooms.  It was a sunny day for sure!

And teaching in sun glasses and a big floppy hat is quite challenging to say the least!
Wacky Wednesday--A floral hot mess was the theme I went with.
We had a blast in classes making finger mustaches and having "wacky instruction"
Teacher/Student Switch Day--Spent looking like a super student!   I loved this day and to me it was my favorite one.
There were so many "Mrs. Mahollands" running around.  I should say hobbling around by the end of the day in their heels.


They were all precious but here are a few of my show choir girls.
My homecoming week at SMS took a pause to help Michaela out all day with her high school homecoming court events.  After three dress changes, three events, one gorgeous hairstyle and make up session we had one fabulous and successful day.

I absolutely loved spending all day with her and Ladonna.

I soaked up every second it my time with them!
Wasn't she gorgeous!  Drop Dead!!
Homecoming week continued in my world for Era day!  We had everything from Bible times to futuristic costumes.  It rocked!
Of course I just can't divert from the 1980's!

It was a rad day in music!  Madonna blasted all day!
I failed to get a picture on black and gold day but I sported a black sweater and my gold glitter heels all day.  All 14 hours at school.  From teaching, to setting up concessions, to leading the show choir in the national anthem, to watching the game, to tearing down concessions.
It was a amazing day!  The choir sounded fabulous and our football team stole the show!
I am so thankful to have a job that I love and look forward to going to every day!  This year is truly wonderful and God has blessed us beyond.
