I bought a HOUSE!

So, I'm sure you know by now, but I bought a house! My friends sold me their house. It is the perfect home. We did tons of work--- installed hardwood floors through out, painted the entire house, updated the bathrooms, replaced all of the doors and so much more. Here are a few pics of the house. I've added several decorations since these pics were taken. Enjoy the little glimpse of my new home!


This is my home! Ready for the 4th of July!


this is my purple dining room! i love this room! that's my grandmommy and daddy del's breakfast table. i love sharing meals with friends and family around this table. i think of them every time we eat there. i need some curtains and a rug.


this is my "keeping room"! it's perfect to see into the back yard.

my cute little kitchen.



This is my bedroom!


This is my guest room! I've already had several guests take advantage of this room.


This is my big Tiffany Blue laundry room!


This is my homey living room! It is currently taken over by the big recliner that I borrowed from friends to recover from surgery.

the bridge

When my parents' house sold, I moved into a stinky apartment, over the bridge. Here it is, looks cozy on this cold evening.

I don't mind it, but it is tiny and it is stinky. I have tried to rid this place of this stink. Anyways, that is so not the point of my post. Since I live over the bridge, I have to cross the bridge every day. That makes since, right!? I always see crazy things on the way to and from work. This week, yes I know it is only Tuesday, I have seen crazy things. Since it is dangerous to take a pic with the iPhone and drive, I am going to paint a word picture for you.
Bridge Walker Monday: This lovely gentleman was dressed perfectly. He was average height, no hair. A white male. He was matching head to toe. He was even wearing a terrible homemade scarf made in Saints black and gold. Bless him.
Bridge Walker Tuesday: Today as I got to the base of the bridge on the Monroe side, there was a man who was walking on the sidewalk toward West Monroe. This gentleman was average height, again no hair. Also a white male, not the same as Monday. He was dressed much differently than Monday Bridge Walker. He was wearing a poofy coat and baggy jeans. He, however, was not wearing a shirt. It caught my eye because he had what looked like healing knife wounds-- ALL OVER HIM! Bless him.

I thought these were both very abnormal and I should share. Funny! Funny!
Love!

SNOW!

It's snowing in Monroe! Can you believe it!?!?

january/first of february

Hello out there!
Lots of things have been going on! Well not a ton because of these silly shots. Speaking of the shots, this last round has thrown me for a loop. I've been really sick from this round. Anyways. I joined a Batch Cooking/ Freezer cooking group. My friend Rebekka and I are the leaders of our group. We had everything planned out perfectly. We just didn't anticipate how long it would take us. Here are a few pics from the day.

This is our table of our supplies for the day... Look at all of that food!

Rebekka and I were apron wearers for the day!

This is Jessica and I after the day of cooking.
Monroe had our annual Mardi Gras parade this past Saturday. I went with some of the girls. Missy and I headed out after the parade was over. It was a fun evening, but I was exhausted.

The Saints won the Superbowl--- this is the biggest news of the year! So proud to be a "louisiana girl"! I got to watch the game with my church folks.

This was the set up for the night. These were the intense game watchers.

Sweet Allie Kate and me posing for a picture!

Some of the girls!

It has been a fun couple of the weeks, minus the shots.
Love!

Shots round 2...

Here is the photo of the shots, Round 2. Only got 2 this time!


Round 3 in the morning!!! Pray it works!
Love!
