Random Weekend Events...

Well...I think the interview went well on Friday. I don't want to say too much right now...but, we'll just have to wait and see if I am what they are looking for. I also have another interview on Monday.

We've had a fun weekend. David and I rode about 5 miles on our bikes on Saturday morning...around the LSU lakes and back...well, not all the way around the lakes...just the small one and a few small detours and back home. Then, I played golf with him. Just 9 holes. I did OK...not good...but OK. I shot 55 on 9 holes. I think par is like 32...so, whatever. It's only the 2nd time to play in my entire life. So...I'm proud of it. The fact that I FINISHED was accomplishment enough. It was HOT out there! In fact, I almost quite after 7 holes...but, I decided I couldn't quit! I'd never hear the end of it. :-) I actually did bring the camera to take pictures....but, I was hot and sweaty and NOT feeling real cute for pictures. MO...if you're reading...I was wearing my Jake Owen Raborn Foundation shirt though!! Sorry...no pics though!

Last night we went to a couple's shower for Kasey and Trey. Their big day is in just TWO WEEKS!! OHH...speaking of big news. My friends Tiffany and Josh had their baby this week. She has kept us in suspense on the sex and name of this child. So...baby Ory is officially Jonas Arthur Ory!! I don't suppose I have to say...IT'S A BOY!!

Hmmm....what's next?? David is in Houma playing in a qualifier for some National Amateur game in...Milwaukee?? Or some place like that. Then, next week he will be competing in the City Amateur Tournament. So, his girls and I will be on our own. Hmm...what will we do??? He mentioned they need new clothes...so, maybe we'll do some shopping!!

School is getting ready to start!! I'd say UGH...but, I've been there all summer...so, it really doesn't make any difference to me. In fact, I think I will like being back on a regular schedule. Orientation starts this week...wish us luck that we survive two days of that!!

I don't have any new updated pictures so I'll leave you with a few of Lucie from her visit to the Dog Park a few months ago.

She looks like she was enjoying it other than trying to claw her way up my leg...and it was all fun and games until....

another dog came over to say hello! Do you see the cute dog at the bottom of the picture?? Lucie buried her head between my legs! Silly girl!!

Jones Reception...

I am EXHAUSTED...but we had such a fun weekend!! Here's a brief rundown of the weekend and a few pics...then, I am off to bed early!! I need some rest before my interview tomorrow...more on that in a bit!

Ok...so, I arrived in Monroe Friday afternoon...just in time to visit my friends at the CVB where I used to work. I always think of them as my "out of town" moms when I lived there. I miss them so much...so that was a nice visit!



That evening, Brandy's sister and brother-in-law hosted a fajita dinner for family and ME who were just in from out of town. Afterwards, Brandy and I escaped the chaos and treated ourselves to a pedicure! The first one I've allowed myself to indulge in this summer...so, that was a nice treat!



Saturday was a long and busy day preparing for the reception. I'm not much on the creative side...but, I take orders well! The reception was beautiful and LOTS OF FUN! Brandy's 3 year old daughter, Larra, entertained us all on the dance floor ALL night! Man, to have that girls energy and DANCE MOVES! She is precious! The reception was held at Aubrey Hall in Monroe. LOTS of dancing and a few drinks later...the limo picked us up and took the bride and groom and 9 of us friends from out of town to Chris' parents house boat. GORGEOUS! We slept on the houseboat and woke up to a brunch cruise on the River with the rest of the family. It was a wonderful weekend and I am so very happy for Chris and Brandy. They are such a sweet couple!


Now to brag a bit. My honey didn't make the trip. He was supposed to come but at the last minute realized he had one last opportunity to qualify for the City Amateur Golf Tournament next month. So, he stayed in Baton Rouge to play. So, I told him if he was going to skip out on being my date for the weekend...he better at least play well! SOO...he just went ahead and placed FIRST with a score of 69! For those of you do not know golf...that is really good! And he even made the headline in The Advocate today!!

Job Hunt: Now, I am on a job hunt! For my one co-worker who reads my blog...SHHH! :-) I have a few opportunities that I am looking into right now. I just want to see what is out there and what might be a good fit for me. I'm not necessarily looking to make an immediate move...I definitely want to take my time and make the right decision!


Ok...Lucie and I are pooped! She spent the weekend with her mawmaw and pawpaw. She LOVES visiting them because it is out in the country and she can just run free without a leash! So...we are off to get our beauty rest!! NITE!


Soo...wish me luck!
