New Year's in Cajun Country

We spent New Year's in La Place, Louisiana. This was our first holiday to spend there since the 'rents moved, and we definitely took in the new culture :). We ate lots of seafood, saw some alligators, and went to Christmas in the Park in New Orleans. Here's some pics, enjoy!



You can't escape the alligators!




Posing as we walk through the park :).




I'm so glad I got to spend the holiday with my family, and with Justin :). Basically, we had a great time relaxing, playing the wii, playing games, and eating good food...umm can't wait to go back.

Happy New Year!




Hello friends & happy 2011!
As part of my New Year's Resolutions I have decided to start a blog :). So this is for all family and friends to share pictures and give little updates on my life!



So my first post is going to be my New Year's Resolutions, so here we go:

1. Start a blog and update regularly with new pictures of any events, trips, etc, and have fun with it!

2. Get a gym membership and work out 3-5 times a week, plus run outside on the weekends when the weather is nice.

3. Find a time and read my devotional bible, and stick to it :).

4. Read Dave Ramsey's, Financial Peace University and set new goals money-wise.

5. Study for and try my best to pass my NCIDQ exam in April!

6. Drink less soft drinks! I keep saying this but never really doing it :(. So, I'm only going to keep water, tea, & lemonade at my house. Try to only order tea & water at restaurants. And only have a dr.pepper when I'm really craving one :).

7. Be better about making time for each of my girlfriends and really being there for them in their lives.

8. Figure out where I am in life and what I really want in the next several years (hard one).

9. Laugh more, worry less. (my motto for 2011!)

Luke 12:22-26 "Then Jesus said to his disciples: 'Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?"
