Blog Explosion!

Get ready, I'm about to post two month's worth of life all in one blog!Much has happened since my last post! In November we went to Destin for Emily's B Party and had a great time!  Thanksgiving kicked off a great Christmas season!  We started with the 2nd Annual Tacky Christmas Party.  Justin and I bought our Christmas present early and got a mattress (yea, I know, not very exciting) but we really needed one and I love it!  The next weekend we went to Emily and Sonny's Wedding in Bham and had a great time!

 

Christmas week was full of activity.  The week started off great;  Tuesday I checked the mail and found out I passed the FE Test!!!

 Wed. night we has Christmas with Justin's parents and Christmas Eve we went to church with his family and had Christma

s with his extended family.  Christmas day we went to my Grandparents house and the rest of the weekend we hung out in Eufaula with my family! Whew! I was glad to get home.  

I had a couple of days off and on the 30th Justin and I left for New Orleans!  Here is a recap of all we did:

1.  We stayed in a bed and break

fast right on the edge of the French Quarter that was run by two awesome gay guys (David and Skyler)!  It was our first time staying at a B&B and it was really neat.  Kinda like having your 

own home in NO.   

2. We ate Wed. night at this really good restaurant called Bayona.

3. Thursday we went and ate at Commander's Place and then went on a cocktail tour.  We went to several cool bars and sampled way too many different drinks.  After that we went to Snug Harbor, which is a Jazz Bar on Frenchmen Street.  Then it was time for dinner.  By the time we got done eating, it was only 10 o'clock!  So we decided to go back to our room for a little while before we went to Jackson Square for the Fireworks,  Bad Idea! Not 

surprisingly we both feel asleep before 12!! Eitherway, we had a great time on New Year's Eve! 

4. We spent Friday morning watching the ridiculous Auburn Game! Then we ventured out and watch several of the other games at a bar.  We met up with Neal Patterson (who lives in NO now)

and some others that afternoon.  finally we left for the Super Dome to watch the Sugar Bowl.  It was a lot of fun!! After

 the game was over, Justin finally got the urge to go to Harrah's.  After Quickly losing money at the craps table, we decided we would whether go eat beignets and drink coffee at Cafe du Monde than hang out at Harrah's!  So we found ourselves at the Cafe at 1:00 am stuffing our faces and realized we had stayed out later on new year's day than new years eve, it works for us! (it also was not near as crowded!) 

5. Saturday we got up and went and had a couple massage and of course it was wonderful!  We left and went straight to The Court of Two sisters for lunch.  We spent the afternoon wandering the French Quarter.

6. And last but Definitely not least, we finished our trip with the best meal I have Ever Had!! No Lie!! We ate at August Friday night.  I am no writer and cannot possibly type out all I have to say about this restaurant! First off, is was beautiful. Justin and I decided to go all out since it was our last night and order the seven course tasting menu.  Next time you see me, just ask and I will bore you with all the details!  

So in conclusion, we had a great time and on the way home discussed all the things we plan on doing the next time we go!

But, on arriving back in A-Town, the realization that not only must I go back to work, but that January has arrive (possibly the most boring month ever) finally sunk in.  At least I have bunco to look forward to!  Oh, and Justin's birthday, I almost forgot! (he will be 27!!!! I guess that shouldn't be too weird, I turn 27 this year too!)

Done!
