New Cookware

A couple of weeks ago, Ms. Linda came over to our house to watch the kids. While she was here, she tried to make them lunch. Well, I guess the state of my cooking pots and pans horrified her because yesterday she donated a new set to us! It is a beautiful set of stainless steel pots and pans that are GUARANTEED to last--Thanks, Ms. Linda! I hope I don't ruin them!

What a season!

We sure did have a great season, but as the saying goes, "All good things have to end." I think Chad took it especially hard. This is how I found my Saints Fan Hubby --and YES, he's sleeping. (A.K.A. passed out!)

GO SAINTS!

Ladies' Night

Over the holidays, I had the chance to meet with some friends that I haven't seen in a while. Jenny, Elaine, and Christy all came into town so we decided to have a girls night out. We started with dinner and drinks at Lucy's in Mandeville then headed to Daiquiris and Creams to listen to some good ol' 80's music! It was so good to get the "gang" together again. CONGRATS to Natalie who announced she is expectiong another baby! Special thanks to Julie for being my Designated Driver(who, by the way, didn't know a lot of the songs because she's TOO YOUNG--UGH!)

Great Guys

On Friday the boys brought home their second quarter report cards and we are VERY proud to announce that BOTH Mace and Jake received straight A's - - - They also had EXCELLENCE in conduct (we're not sure where they get that!) The boys had been asking for Saints jerseys so we bought them their favorite jerseys today for their reward. Way to go, guys! We are so proud of you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

10th Wedding Anniversary

On December 27th, Chad and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. We took a trip to Destin, Florida, where I surprised Chad with a fishing charter in the Gulf. Well, without giving too many gruesome details, the 12 foot seas didn't exactly cooperate with my stomach!
It was a very LONG 6 hour boat ride! The rest of the trip was wonderful! At our dinner at Ruth's Steak House, Chad had a beautiful bouquet of tulips delivered to our table. We had a very nice time and MANY thanks to Julie, Tory, Mom and Dad for watching our "crew" for us! (Now you know why we needed the vacation so badly!)
