Hi Everyone!!!
I'm so sorry I have been MIA over the past few months, I didn't even realize it! I'm so glad Adair started this blog BC its a great way to keep in touch and I miss all of you girls soooo much!! So Thank You Adair you are always thinking ;) Well there really isn't a whole lot that has been going on, but I'll start at the beginning... James and I had the time of our lives on our honeymoon (pics on facebook), but when we came back reality just had to show its ugly face, so James went back to work and I just pretty much tried to get comfortable in my new cajun skin. ha ha I have since found my way to the grocery, tj maxx & marshalls, the mall, the gym (which I need to go), and a few other vital places in my everyday living needs. I now feel as if I have made monumental steps towards being a independent women in the sense that I have learned to be comfortable being alone. It is so great when James is home and I miss him when he isn't, but the reality of it is he just is not able to be home 3/4 of the time. Don't get me wrong though I have enjoyed being here in Lafayette, it has all of the culture of Nola and none of the crime. Plus the food is AMAZING! Which by the way I totally felt like that episode of sex in the city where Carrie learns how to go to lunch alone with not even a book...I know you girls know what I'm talking about LOL But on the upside I have meet a group of fun girls, not as fun as y'all! and we get together usually once a month for book club which should be named wine club! I was also excepted into a Mardi Gras Krewe, which is so so so much fun. It reminds me of a sorority for after college, minus the drama, plus more drinking. I have even meet all the alumni AOII's in the area, which they are so nice! It seems like its been one holiday after another and mardi gras around here is as big as Christmas, so I have been immersed in preparations for everything. FYI I do not know why I did this but I signed up and am dancing in the mardi gras ball show...girls I'm freaking out ha ha its going to be in front of over 2500 people and I'm going to be up there just a shaking it to tina turner! Crazy I know. Plus on top of all of that I am finally finishing up my degree at Univ of LA Lafayette and will be done by may... so keep your fingers crossed for me...I only need 3 hrs! Oh Ya I almost forgot, we move down here, I learn to make gumbo from scratch, eat crawfish that burn your lips off, and trying still to lose my southern accent that screams Hi not from these parts.. and we are probably moving in the fall. Which I guess its not all for nothing but james has decided that he wants to pursue his PhD in geophysics, which I totally support and am supper proud of him, so we sent off all the applications back in Dec and now are just waiting and waiting... We should start hearing back in the spring around aprilish. Please keep us in your prayers to make the right decision where to go or even if to go. He does have the option to go to UL, so we are just waiting to hear what are options are for now. As for me I can not wait to get a job!! Again I probably sound crazy but I know for sure that staying home is just not for me. At least not now anyway. Its just not as fun to have time to do things when there really isn't anyone to do them with. So that's what I'll be doing when he goes back to school. Other than that there really isn't alot going on, just the everyday stuff like school and trying to keep busy. Which if anyone wants to come visit my doors are always open!! :) I might even make ya some gumbo, ha ha who knows! On a completely different note: James and I are planning a vacation this summer in June or early July to go to Mexico! There are a few couples that might be joining us and I wanted to invite anyone that is interested to jump on board! I have all the details if anyone would like me to email them, and just to put this out there it is an amazing location and a great price... and when I say great price I mean alot of bang for the buck! Hope y'all will consider it. Plus when are we having a girls weekend???? I can't wait to hear everything that is going on in everyone lives right now! I miss you girls so much and I promise my next entry will not be this long. ;)
