The Big Easy . . .

 . . .just so happened to be a big PAIN to get to.  However, one delayed flight, one missed flight, and one missing suitcase later, I had made it to New Orleans!

Lunch at Central Grocery.  Hands down THE BEST muffaletta I've ever had.

Here we are contemplating possible shenanigans to get into.

If I were a better photographer, I wouldn't have to tell you that we stayed at the Bienville House in the French Quarter, or that we went to a beautiful dinner Saturday night at Antoine's, or even that we went to the Satchmo Summerfest.  Oh, if only I were a better photographer.  All in all though, it was a wonderful weekend with wonderful friends.  What next?  The Ocoee?  Cali?   

Two Years!

Today Jonathan and I celebrate two wonderful years of marriage! 

I couldn't imagine sharing everyday of this life with anyone else.
I love you with all of my heart.

  

I'm Pursuing . . .

 . . . a new hobby  :)

Mr. and Mrs. Payne!

We had the great pleasure of witnessing the union of two wonderful people last weekend, Josh Payne and Julie Moore.  Josh was a groomsman in our wedding and has been a good friend of Jonathan's since college.  They were both ATO's at Alabama and have a shared passion for the law.  Josh also attended Washington and Lee for law school and played a huge part in our move up to Lexington. 

And while we only met Julie a little over a year ago, it feels like we've known her for years - she's just that type of person!  She is so sweet and genuine, it's impossible not to love her.  We have already shared so many good times with these two, and I look forward to many more. We wish them all the happiness in the world!

Southern. Comfort.

Two words that perfectly describe our wonderful Seaside vacation, as we relished in everything comforting to a true southern soul.  Or perhaps just this southern soul.  Food.  Really good food, and lots of it.  Family time.  Lounging, wherever it happened to take place.  Shopping.  Peaches from Peach Park.  Beautiful coastal architecture. The list goes on. 

And while we enjoyed everything this quaint coastal town had to offer besides the sun, we did manage to get in one good cloudy day at the beach.  Hey, a cloudy day at the beach beats a sunny day at work!  How kind it was of these homeowners to name their house after our wonderful Seaside vacation, as "Southern Comfort", ironically enough, was also the name of the house we stayed in.  Not too shabby if I must say.

                                                                                   

I think we were all hoping to persuade Doc that southern comfort can be just as much fun or dare I say more fun that northern discomfort, if you know what I mean.  Boots, gloves, "gear", three layers of clothing, below freezing temperatures, and a good possibility of injury isn't exactly what I would call "comfortable".  I'm not sure if we convinced him, but I know I heard the words "first annual" used at some point, so we all know what that means!  I have a full year to work off all the food I ate, so I can go back and do it again!

And thus, it's time to pay the piper.
