N'awlins

J went to a conference class for his seminary class in New Orleans and then I came down and met up with him. Now I've been to New Orleans once before when I was a wee one but the fam and I only went to the aquarium. So needless to say I've never really experienced the city of New Orleans.
Before I got to New Orleans I wasn't too thrilled. I didn't really know what to expect. Well those thoughts went by the way side when I finally arrived.
I loved the history and beautiful architecture of this city!!! I got to enjoy this city with the man that I love. We had such a great time!!

Here's the city of N'awlins from the interstate and on the ferry.



Here's J and I when I first arrived on the Mississippi.

And I FINALLY got to experience Cafe Du Monde!!! At the corner of Decatur and St. Ann Street lies Cafe Du Monde.

This place was absolutely wonderful. Cafe Du Monde is famous for their French doughnuts; beignets!! Beignets, pronounced bey-nyay, are delicious deep fried pastry coated with powdered sugar. It's a bit of heaven people!! They are soo good! If you're ever in New Orleans, this is a MUST!





As we walked around town, we passed by the St. Louis Cathedral. This is a statue outside in the courtyard of Jesus shadowed on the wall. It's so beautiful.


Here's the front of the cathedral.


In honor of Memorial Day J took me to the WWII Museum in honor of his Papaw, Mr. Ervin W. Miller. He fought in WWII and survived. It was so incredible to see where he fought and all the history that lies within all the veteran's stories. J's papaw passed away a few years ago and in his honor his family placed a brick among many others leading to the entrance to The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. It was an honor and a joy to share this moment with J.


We had a wonderful weekend in N'awlins. Great food, good music and good memories. We can't wait to go back soon!!!

One day at a Time

Oh my! it's been almost 2 months since I've posted a new blog entry, my deepest apologies. Between finals week between myself and the Hubs, end of school stuff for my work and endless graduations and end of the year activities, plus planning new things for the busy summer schedule, and being super sick, there's just been ZERO time. But I've finally found time to sit down today and blog!

So class is out for the semester but have no fear I've got LAME summer classes to do so that should be TONS of joy. Now if I can just get done with work I could go swimming and get my tan on!

J and I have been planting flowers. We planted Sunflower and African Daisy seeds. Unfortunately, the daisies were flooded out due to the excessive rain we've had the past two days so I'll have to replanted some more daises. However our sunflowers are on the go! They have grown SO much! I'll post pictures later of them.

J and I also have been to one wedding so far this summer and we are going to one next month and July. This is SO exciting for us. We've really had a good time. Not to mention we've almost been married a YEAR!!! I can't believe time has gone by this fast!!!!



I'm SO glad summer is here. I need some time to not think about much of anything.

Happy Summer Y'all!!
