If you missed part 1 of our trip to New Orleans, read HERE. We went to lunch on Bourbon (my mind slips me and I can’t remember the name of the place). We had the pleasure of being seated on the balcony which was perfect for people watching. If you haven’t people watched on Bourbon, you must! Walking through Jackson Square is always a
New Orleans Mini Vacation Part 1
This weekend Hubs and I snuck away to my favorite city, with my Blogger BFF Kristen and her new husband Chris, for a little R & R. We stayed in the St. James Hotel which was absolutely perfect, despite knowing it was haunted. It was built in 1833 and it used to be a civil war hospital and legend has it that it’s haunted by
Second Anniversary
Last night we celebrated our second wedding anniversary. We exchanged cards and dined at our favorite Japanese restaurant. We tried taking our annual photo before dinner but the sun was casting horrible shadows so we decided to wait until dust…well we were a little later than dust but we are happy with the photograph. And a few outtakes. As far as gifts, we’ve decided to

Weekend Update
Hello and Happy Monday! I am exhausted. This weekend was busy and Hubs and I are under the weather…again! We can’t seem to shake this sickness.

Friday At work on Friday I went lunchless and was really grumpy. To make myself
Valentine’s Day 2013
Our Valentine’s Day was perfect. A few days before, my husband was granted his green card. We are so glad that whole process was over. Our marriage verification interview wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be. THANK GOD! We basically felt that they had made up their mind before we even walked in. I guess we submitted enough ” evidence ” during the
Burn’s Supper 2013
This weekend we attended a Burn’s supper to celebrate the birthday of the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Burns really had a way with his words and that’s why we still celebrate him today. One of my first gifts from Hubs (BF at the time) was a stone with Burns poetry so celebrating good ol’ Robbie Burns really holds a special place in my heart. Here
What’s in a name? Name Change Checklist
I’ve been married for over a year now and I still haven’t changed my name on everything. I’ve made it one of my goals this year to submit a name change on everything that still needs to be changed. Throughout the year, I’ve compiled a list and today I want to share. I wish this list existed when I was first married. Perhaps it
Sand Collection Display
As you know, we are slowly redoing our house and adding special touches to give it a personalized touch. In our recent remodel, we redid our powder room. You can read about the full remodel HERE.
