Anywhere is paradise; it's up to you.

Well the Saints lost this past weekend as the LSU Tigers fared pretty well against Auburn. Patrick and I were in Gulf Shores for the weekend where the weather was nice. Not too hot at all. We played an excellent round of disc golf at the Blue Angel Recreation Center. We also enjoyed the LSU game with a decent amount of Auburn fans. All in All, I am already planning my next vacation though I am completely amazed at how high the plane tickets are to anywhere. We are trying to plan a trip to Denver for New Years and tickets at this moment are about $320 a person. I'm pretty cheap so this is a crazy amount of money to sit in an uncomfortable seat for 3 hours. Ridiculous. I am still going to be on the look out for good tickets. Other than that, Lilly and Roc are crazy little kids, but I am amazed that they play so well. I have two funny little animals!

4 years

So today marks the day Patrick and I have been together for four years. I think that this year is my favorite, because 4 is my favorite number. Plus, it has taken some time and effort but we get along better now than we ever have. Not to say that we did not like or care for each other in the beginning but the journey has brought us to a point of realizing that the love is real. I know everyone is confused as to why we are not married yet. I have grown up with single parents and it was not what I would call the most exciting thing on Earth. I believe that marriage is very sacred and is a forever committment. I understand that you can fall out of love just as fast as you fall in. I believe that reasoning is why I have not yet pushed myself into it. I know I am going to spend 100 years with Pat, so why do I have to have a ring on my finger the whole time? Even if I wait ten more years (don't worry, he's not getting off that easy!), the facts will still be the same, Pat and I together forever. :)

Football in the Fall

I decided to have a fantasy football team this year and its turning out pretty good. Its been pretty easy since they guys constantly talk about football. I am definitely not obsessed over it because I can't watch that much football. I am glad that the Saints have turned around to become a competitive team again. Though today's lost to the Redskins could have been avoided. They somehow forget how to play football. We'll see next weekend. Along with the long awaited LSU game versus a SEC team. In Auburn, next Saturday night. Geaux Tigers.

Some great quotes that I live by and love, ENJOY!!

Welcome

This is my first post and hopefully is not the last. Patrick and I are doing well in New Orleans with our dog, Lilly, and our crazy cat, Roc. I work for a commercial construction company in Laplace, Aegis Construction, as a Project Manager. Patrick also works for the same company as an Assistant Superintendent. Septemeber 15 of this year makes 4 years of us together and yes we will one day get married. :)

We survived without problems, our first evacuation out of NOLA due to Gustav and ironically went north of Baton Rouge. Our electric came on Friday 9/5 and we had Baton Rouge friends staying with us over the weekend since they were without electric. I wish everyone well and please stay tuned for more posts. Much Love!!
