Eventful Week...

Going to the beach in...hold on while I count...10 days!! I LOVE Navarre Beach in Florida. It is so beautiful. It is one of my FAVORITE places...well, now that I've met David. David grew up going to Navarre at least twice a year. His aunt and uncle have a house there. He also has a good friend whose parents have two condos there. So...it's always a fun trip. I went for the first time after David and I met over two years ago. And, at this point, I've already lost count of how many times we've been. It's just OUR place! :-)

Here are some pictures from our first trip two years ago. Don't ask what is going on with my hair...not the most flattering picture. :-)

So...once we get back from our Easter trip to Navarre...we will be heading to my parents for the next weekend. My parents both have birthdays in April (April 15 and April 17). My dad is going to be SIXTY! So...we are giving him a SURPRISE birthday dinner!! He will be THRILLED! If you knew my dad at all...you would sense every bit of sarcasm that was intended! :-) Well...this was the only way he would let us actually celebrate his birthday. Just don't tell him! So...my mom and I are hosting. I decided to not do the typical black balloons and over the hill stuff. It's a PARTY! :-) So, I'm doing a 50's theme. And Mo...if you are reading...I LOVED your diner from Alphafest and scoped it all out to find some ideas! I'm also putting together a CD of 50's music...hope the two baptist preachers there don't mind! :-) I'll be sure and post pictures as soon as we have them.

And now for the highlight of my week. I was in a wreck last Thursday. My poor poor car. Only 1 and a half years old. My FIRST EVER BRAND NEW CAR!! So, the girl attempted to make an illegal left hand turn, didn't bother checking the turning lane that I was in and smashed into the passenger side of my car. Long story short...the girl stopped briefly and was quite insistant that she get back to work and just wanted to exchange numbers. While she WAS wearing scrubs...I'm pretty sure she was not rushing back for brain surgery!! Anyway...she left the scene and finally returned about an hour later with her mother and another man. By then my stress level was maxed out, I had given the policeman my statement and tow truck my car! I also had and ANGEL who saw the entire thing, stayed with me and PRAYED with me until I left. The policeman said I could go and he would deal with her. So, I'm still waiting on the police report to see how he "dealt with her." As of yesterday, the damage was up to $8,400. He said he was only $3,000 away from it being a total loss. He still hadn't figured the airbags inside and the damage underneath. Anyway...being that my car is only a year and a half old...I'm not sure which way I won't that to go. So...I just pray God takes care of it and I know he will. The IMPORTANT thing is...I am NOT hurt and neither was she. As my dad said...a car can be fixed. So...I will leave you with a few pictures of my car...and I am off to bed!

I'm Still Here!!

Has it really been 3 months?? I'm not so sure anyone is still checking in. Can't blame you...but, I'm back and ready to update!

Well...I've been married ALMOST six months! We are very happy and still trying to get used to all of the madness. Lucie and I had gotten used to our quiet time alone at night. Well, now there is David and me; two girls and three dogs!! It's madness here! But, I love every minute of it!

I think I last posted that we were house hunting. We have put that idea aside and we are just working on updating this house. It's a SLOW process. I am NOT good at picking out paint colors, so my dining room is currently has primer on it and has for about 2 months. :-) SOON...I will have color on that wall again.

Lucie is adjusting, well...she's TRYING. Sort of. She's EXTREMELY jealous of Daisy and we are not allowed to show any affection towards Daisy or Lucie goes NUTS! However, they do like to team up with one another when it comes to barking! In fact, yesterday (keep in mind that I am SICK) the mail lady comes into the yard. I had just gotten home and David had left to pick up the girls from school. I was standing by the door with the door open. Daisey CHARGED at the mail lady with Lucie following right behind. So, the mail lady is RUNNING down the street, the dogs are charging behind her and I am running behind the entire crowd screaming for the dogs! I felt so horrible for the mail lady...but, it was a little funny later. Of course, I knew that they would NEVER bite...but, she didn't know that. Bless her heart. I'm sure she resigned before finishing her route.

Here's a funny! I'm taking a pilates class that is actually intended for women who have had children! It is an 8 weeks class (one night a week). The instructor and I discussed my back pain issues and we both thought I would really benefit from this class. So, I'm two weeks in...I'm really hoping (more than having flat abs!) that this will eliminate or at least reduce some of the back pain I have had since college!

Also new with me...I am joining Junior League here in Baton Rouge. I'm actually really excited about it. I think it will be something fun to do, get me involved in new things...and will hopefully also help me come out of my shell a little. I can very much be an introvert. :-) So...I think this is going to be a good thing for me.

I also did FINALLY pick out furniture...did I mention that already?? Sorry...I've been home sick today and have worked on this update in between naps. So...I forget what I have mentioned. Anyway...I'm going to take some pictures and post for you. I'll also post later about our St. Patrick's Day Party. Not many pictures...but, I'll post a few later.
