Natchitoches

There are a few perks to having to travel for work... the Natchitoches Christmas lights! I was asked to visit Northwestern & LSU-A yesterday for work. It being quite a drive home, my coworker, Gina, and I were able to get rooms at the Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast. I stayed in the "Garden Room" on the second floor which opened out to the gallery. It was absolutely lovely! The whole little town of Natchitoches is like something out of a southern fairy tale. Gina and I were able to do a little shopping downtown, eat at Mama's restaurant, stroll along the Cane River, and take in the lights and sounds. All of this after meeting with some of the friendliest people in the state at NSU and LSU-A... I have to say, I have a great job!

Gonzales Christmas Parade 2007

We waded through many people to get to see our girl march and cheer in the Gonzales Christmas parade... she was great! Of course, when Ms. Stacie and I began hollering her name, she hid beneath her pompoms... I know, we can be so embarrassing sometimes. Once we saw Erin, we were ready to go... it was so warm. I can't believe this is December weather.

You go, Rin! You are so beautiful! (See blondy in the middle?)

Horsey Birthday Party

Saturday morning, we were invited to attend a birthday party at a local horse ranch. Savannah, WD's cousin's little girl, turned 7! The kids enjoyed riding the horse, as well as eating the hamburgers, busting the pinata, and best of all playing with the "Flarp". Happy Birthday, Savannah!!!

Happy Birthday Stacie!

Joined my friend, Stacie, to celebrate her birthday at Starbucks today. Got a cute little e-mail invitation to join her and her "peeps" at the coffeehouse to hang out. I don't even drink coffee, but I couldn't wait to get there. We sat around (they drank various coffees while I sipped a lemon tea) and chatted for over 4 hours! It was so nice to sit and chit chat without interruptions or disturbances with chicks that "get" me. Thanks Stac for being born ;-) It gave us a reason to celebrate today (even though it's not yet the 10th)!
