A Month Later...

Well, officially summer has started. It's most definitely gotten much warmer around here...and the way I know this, every time I walk outside you just start sweating. We can't complain too much because we did have an awesome little break called Spring! We have done a little cleaning around the house and outside in the yard area. Paul came over and helped us pressure wash the house and also the bricks on the front. I really wish we had taken a before and after picture because it is like 1000% better. The bricks have never looked like they do now. And he even did it on his birthday. We are so happy to have him in our lives. That same day we pulled out Rebound's pool...and needless to say, he was really really happy :)


For Amanda's birthday I bought her Carrie Underwood tickets. I know her birthday was in January, but we have been looking forward to her birthday celebration since then and we definitely were not let down. She was amazing!!! You hear her on the radio or on the tv and she really sounds and looks like that. It was just an amazing show and she sang all of our favorite songs! :) Amanda was in heaven!



Amanda's friend Megan from college is coming this weekend and so we're excited to be tourists with her. It's always fun to find new things in the city you live in. Can't wait to see what kind of trouble we get in! :)

Now, we are just waiting on our vacation to get here. We are going to Puerto Rico the last week in May. It is a much needed break and we're ready. Tristan and Russell are coming with us and I think it's going to be just a great time to relax and have fun with friends.

I am missing my family, but I did book a trip for the weekend of the 4th of July. Amanda is not able to come with me, but we're still going to have fun! I cannot wait.

Things are just wonderful for us here in good old New Orleans. We are loving living here even more than we thought we could have. I absolutely love it here and I love the culture that we are surrounded with every day. I think I have fallen in love and Amanda might have to drag me kicking and screaming...haha, no no, not really, but I do love it here. This would be a perfect place if the schools were better and it was maybe a little less hot! Ha.

Hope all is well!

Now, to answer your third...I'm commenting because I have to tell Amanda this...

I still, everytime your name is mentioned, think of that hideous picture I got when you bandaged up my poor brother's hand with duct tape in college...and I start laughing every. single. time. It's it weird...the things we remember? hahaha
