Hopefully when we get back next Sunday I will be much tanner, relaxed, and have lots of goodies!
I am really looking forward to spending some time with the family. This will be Annelise's first vacation! :)
Our flight leaves at 6am tomorrow morning, so I am off to bed!
I will post pictures as soon as we get back

"Big, orange ball, sinkin in the water
toes in the sand, couldn't get much hotter
little umbrella-shaded margaritas
coconut oil tannin' senoritas
oh now i know how jimmy buffet feel..."

Paige's Visit

One of my really good friends from college, Paige, came to visit us last weekend from Midland, Texas. It was such a wonderful 4 days for us to get to catch up and have some girl time together!
We took here around Baton Rouge to get some Cajun food when she got into town on Friday. Saturday, we went to get pedicures, did some shopping, and then took her down to see the main sights in New Orleans, including Bourbon, Cafe Du Monde, Jackson Square, etc... definitely a must for first timers!
Sunday we went to Mandeville and Covington to have lunch with Stori and Elysha. We did some more shopping (I was looking for a china cabinet) and then got some cheescake at Copelands. We took it easy Sunday night and rented some movies and just enjoyed our time together.
Monday, she had to go home :( . We got some lunch and I showed her around Ponchatoula for a bit before taking her to the airport.
Thank you Paige for coming to see me! You have no idea how much it meant!
P.S. I posted the rest of the pics on Facebook if you want to see them
