Confession time...

First confession...
I am blogging on a Friday night.
Loser much? Ya....
I have to be at our new house at 7 am tomorrow.
Our furniture is being delivered between 7am and 10pm.
No that is not a joke. They did say it would probably be earlier since we are more "north".
So probably like 9pm.

It isn't a big deal because I have SO much to do over there, but still.
I would have liked to sleep in a bit.

Confession #2
I NEED to see this movie.
The Lucky One.
I read all of Nicholas Sparks books turned movie in like...high school.
So they have a special little place in my heart.
I still read most of his books, although they don't do as much for me.

Confession #3
There is a place to eat next to Chich Fil a. Del Taco.
Never eaten there.
Because duh, Chick Fil a trumps all.
But...I feel BAD for Del Taco.
There is never a car in the drive through. It just stands alone.
I picture the Del Taco employees sneaking over to Chick Fil a for lunch.
Is it that loved in all places or just here??

Confession #4
A lot of times when I am in the car, it takes me like half the song to realize it is a song I hate.
I have even been singing along.
Then I get mad and change the station.
I realize this probably only happens to me.
Because I am the last person on earth that listens to radio.
I get so mad when it happens though.
It usually gets stuck in my head too.



Goodnight now.

The freakin weekend baby....


I'm bout to have me some fun.
TGIF!
YES the weekend is finally upon us:)
I told you all about my RIDICULOUS Monday.
What a way to start off my week.
But the rest of my week went off without a hitch.

Weeks are going by faster every week!
5 weeks until our wedding. AH!!

ANYWAY this weekend we have a lot of things to do.
First and most importantly after getting off work I will head straight home for some wine.
This is true, correct?

Saturday our furniture is getting delivered to the new house.
I am so excited for this.
I will also be working on the house all day Saturday with my mama!
Painting, shelf papering, hopefully some decorating!!
I will try and get some before pictures while I am there.

Also, just found out today that David's parents will be coming to see us.
This is so exciting because they haven't come here yet.
They want to see our new house, where we are getting married ect.
We are going to take them to the place we picked for our rehearsal dinner too.
Since they are paying for it I thought we could let them approve first.
I know they will otherwise bridezilla might come out.
Totally kidding but not really.

I hope everyone else has a good Friday and a FUN weekend.
Go link up and celebrate FRIDAY with Lauren!

No good, very bad day.

I am probably going to be a total buzzkill right now.
My my entire Monday was pretty ridiculous.
You might as well chalk the day up as a loss when you get in your car
first thing in the morning and your gas light is on.
So, I head to the gas station and go about my day.

Enter lunch break.
I go to the bank to deposit some checks. No debit card.
No debit card anywhere. Awesome.
I had it 4 hours ago which means I dropped it somewhere.
And since I ddint drop it in my wallet or my car or my purse, I am left with the gas station.
Ok whatever fine. At least I was at the bank. Quick fix.

SOOO then after work I go pick up my WEDDING INVITES.
So fun and exciting.
So I meet up with mom and sister and then remember about the invites in my truck.
I run outside, grab one out of my trunk run inside and show them.
Time to go....Where are my keys??
OH in my trunk where i set them down when  I grabbed the invite.
Did I mention my car was locked?
I called our AAA service which is roadside assistance that my parents pay for every month.
I will spare you details but they were about as helpful swimsuit in a snow storm.
Like unbelievably incompetant. So after 3 hours I cancelled the whole thing.
Needless to say they got a phone call the next day.

At the end of the day I just had to laugh.
The rest of my week has been significantly better.

Crawfish boil

Saturday we had a crawfish boil in Baton Rouge.
I had never been to one before I found my little cajun.
They are so much fun.
It helped that the weather could not have been better.
We just hung out in the back yard, ate lots of crawfish, Easter candy,
and had fun hiding eggs for the little ones. Over and over again.
Then the adults got involved and got a little competetive about who could hide eggs the best:)
I forgot my camera! I was very upset, so all my pictures are iphone pictures.
Oh well:(
Crawfish, corn, and potatoes.
Those suckers are hard for this Texan to peel.
They can peel about 5 to my 1.
Don't worry, David slipped me some of his....
Brothers eating crawfish.

Our nieces playing with the LIVE crawfish before they were dinner.
They were entertained for hours! Carrying them around like pets.
Some of those things were huge. Looks like a lobster!

We had so much fun! The next time I see all of them, it will be my wedding weekend!
So crazy.
David is going back before for a deep sea fishing trip, but I am staying here.

A very busy weekend!


We had a very busy Easter weekend.
We went to Baton Rouge to spend it with David's family.
We flew out Friday morning. It was our first time to fly there together.
We had the pleasure of driving a U-haul back 500 miles:)

Friday we got there around 10 and he loaded the U-Haul with his dad.
I went shopping with the girls:)
After that we ran some errands.
We were on the way to the fish market when I spotted something.....
There used to be one around here that me and my mom would go to but it closed.
I had to have one. It was just as good as I remembered.
I know they sell them at like every gas station but its not the same.
These were straight off the conveyor belt.
Fish market!
You can get FRESH shrimp for less than half of what you can get it here.
We got 10 pounds and froze them.

Then we went to my  in-laws and dyed Easter eggs and went to dinner.

My precious nieces dying Easter eggs.
They are my flower girls too:)

Today David and I drove a U-Haul with the rest of his stuff back to Texas.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be in the fact it only took an hour longer than normal.
BUT it was super loud and bumpy. We survived though.
Cozy in the U-Haul.

David's family had their annual Easter crawfish boil yesterday and I will post about that tomorrow!

We had a girls night Saturday night and the shower was Sunday.
A perfect weekend.

My bridal shower was beyond perfect.

The paper on the right was my shower invitation. I loved it.
Just a few of my very best friends:)
Beautiful flowers and amazing food!
Delicious cake!

The cutest bride to be sign

I could not have asked for a better shower!
David and I got so many things we needed.
I have the best friends in the world.
And they will all be making the trip again in a few weeks for the bachelorette party.
Best friends ever!
