Just Perfect!

I found Doug's bed while I was in Nashville....

It's just perfect!

It's Official!

I'm leaving for Nashville in the morning for work for the next week. However, I'm excited to say that I only have two more trips to Nashville by myself!

Yep, that's right! It's official, the moving truck will be here MAY 21st!!!! Ak and I are packing our bags and heading home! So there will be more posts like the kitchen post, because we are going to be sprucing up the condo! I lived there right after college so I want to change it a bit so that it will be Our Place.

We are so excited about this new chapter in our lives.

Oysters and More...

Ak and I had the best time in NOLA with the fam!

We enjoyed a beautiful day in Jackson Square

The Fam

It was the first time AK has been with both his bro and sis since our wedding.
It was nice seeing them catching up!

Saturday night while the runners were getting rest before the big day, AK and I celebrated
V-day at ACME and had drinks afterwards at the carousel bar. So fun!!

Race Day!!
Ak's 2nd cousin thought he was the coolest ever!

The Runners!

The Cheerleaders
(please excuse my arm, I have a double jointed arm so it looks CRAZY!)


and of course it wouldn't be a trip to NOLA without a hurricane!

A Sweet for your Sweetie!

Isn't' this the cutest packaging for cookies and better yet homemade organic chocolate chip cookies!

My friend Lauren has started her own business baking these great cookies out of her home. Let me tell you, everything I have ever had from Lauren has been to die for!! I often dream about her chocolate chip pound cake, banana bread muffins, and holiday bark. I highly recommend you try some of these cookies! Instead of the traditional boxed chocolates, why not order some all natural, organic cookies for your sweetie!!

Here's the info on how to order straight from Lauren:

these irresistible handmade, preservative free cookies are made with the best ingredients.

1/2 dozen - $5.00

1 dozen - $10.00

i 'm glad to make much larger orders too! local deliveries are free. shipping fees will apply outside of nashville. all orders will be sent usps priority mail which takes 2 to 3 days.

for orders email me at lauren.c.hester@gmail.com.

The 1/2

Well, well, well…

Remember when I posted about the ½ marathon in New Orleans?? Let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. I got up to a mile, (yes a mile, I know) and thought I’m going to die right here on this street. There is no way I can do 13!! So AK and I are going to New Orleans as cheerleaders! There are about 20 of us going and I think there are 6 of us that aren’t running. So we will have our own little cheerleading squad.

I’m so excited to go back to one of my favorite cities. We have dinner planned at Dickie Brennan’s. Ak and I are also going to ACME for some chargrilled oysters and we have to go to Port of Call for their yummy cheeseburger and fabulous drinks!

I’m looking forward to 60 degree temps, it's going to feel like swimsuit weather!!

Stupid Tax

So excited! This weekend AK and I are traveling to Nashville to see Dave Ramsey Live! My bro and his wife got us tickets for Christmas. Ak and I have been using bits and pieces of his program for almost a year but need a little bit more motivation! We have been using the envelope system since January 1st and it's working very well!!! Looking forward to walking away with some great information on Saturday.

Phil

Dear Phil,

I can not tell you how happy I am that you did not see your shadow today!! Your a lot cuter when there's not two of you. Come on SPRING!!!

Ice Ice Baby

We have about a 1/2 inch of ice here in C-bus. It's all over everything! AK was trying to make the best out of a messy situation...

Please excuse my whiny voice at the end, it's pretty awful.
