That's Right...

We're moving to Texas! Can you believe it?

Orie has accepted a new job in Dallas, Texas and we are super excited about becoming southerners again and Texans more specifically (well....don't expect cowboy boots and cowboy hats from Orie!!!!)

Our time in NYC has been nothing short of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G....but we are still thrilled to be moving so close to family and friends.

Life over the last few days has been everything that defines chaotic....find somewhere to live....find a car....get out of a lease....leave jobs...tell co workers goodbye...say our final farewells to our favorite spots in the city...pack...remember what life is like in suburbia...figure out what we will do with 904 square feet...

We are so grateful to have wonderful family and friends who have helped us every step of the way while in NYC and will continue to do the same as we head south. We are a million times blessed!

Stay tuned....

Big things are happening around here....make sure you stop by frequently!

LSU Football Schedule

Thought I would share this super cute football schedule that my mother in law sent me. I know all of our LSU Tiger fans will want to print it out and put it on their fridge....ready to mark some W's in hopefully!

Enjoy!

Tuesday's Treasures

Well this is a treasure long overdo. It doesn't exactly live with us in NYC. It lived in Shreveport for the last year because it was SO VERY special that I didn't want to ruin it on my NYC refrigerator. Well check it out now...



This is an original Ethan V. watermelon from July 2008. Tess helped me mount it on a black canvas and I think it looks fabulous! This is my very first piece of artwork from Ethan and I love it so much! It is definitely heading back to NYC with me to find a home.

Just a sneak peak of some of the happenings while being home.

After Dad picked me up from the airport I joined mom for a lovely lunch at Wine Country.

I have joined brother Rod for a lunch date at our favorite local establishment Johnny's Pizza.

I hit Wal Mart on my first day home! It was fabulous.

We had a lovely M & H dinner at Bistro Byronz.

I have visited with my bestie Carie in her B-E-A-U-tiful home in Twelve Oaks.

I got a fabulous girls night at The Cub (sorry no website...it's a total dive bar steak house). Loved each laugh...not enough though....we should do it again soon!

I have spent many minutes in Hobby Lobby and Target shopping for absolutely nothing and loving each second!

I had a fabulous date with Kat and Brooke at Superior Steakhouse. Dinner and drinks in the bar. We are quite social!!!

And last but not least...I have turned into a mermaid while being home. Living in the pool just about every day and loving each minute. We even had swim time with Ethan and some other kiddos. Life is good!


Also...just to make sure I'm not a bad wife....I didn't quite abandon Orie for three weeks to come home!!!! We had a fabulous vacation to Cape May Point for the first week of August. We soaked up the sun...relaxed...enjoyed walks with Grace...and had a blast. We're so glad to have a place like CMP to go on holiday. The good family that comes with it is always a bonus! (more pics to come of that later)
