New Orleans!

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted an update. I really wanted to keep this going...

This past weekend I went to New Orleans to meet up with some girlfriends. I've been to New Orleans a lot so that wasn't new to me, but I was excited to meet up with my friends because believe it or not, we had never met in real life before! When I was planning my wedding at Disney I

stumbled upon an online forum for people getting married or honeymooning at Disney and ultimately made some GREAT friends who I've been talking to for years. This weekend a few of us met up and had a blast!

As you can probably tell from the pictures, we had such a great time! We of course had beignets and frozen cafe au lait at the Cafe du Monde, and just walked around for a while... it was HOT! Afterwards we headed to one of the girls parents house and had a fun girls night of games and lots of yummy junk food- woohoo!

On the way back home, however, I had a pretty scary near-death experience!! I was driving on I-10 in Alabama, and I was in the left lane and in the right lane a little bit ahead of me was this big truck that was towing a car. It was just tied with some rope it looked like, not very secure. So then the back left tire of the car being towed blew out and the pieces of tire were hitting my car so I hurried and sped up real fast and got around it and in front of it.

Well right after I did that I look in my rearview mirror and the truck tried to pull over without slowing down and because the towed car wasn't attached well, it totally lost control and was flailing around all over the road and almost hit like 5 cars... I thought for sure it was going to be a pile up. It was SO scary to see, I was literally screaming in the car!! This car was just like a rag doll!! It didn't hit me until a few minutes later that had I not sped up around it when I did I would have been RIGHT in the impact zone!!! It was so scary!!!!!

So needless to say, I was happy when I made it home!!! :) I was missing my family... Princess and Starla... oh and David too. Haha! ;)

Now we have even MORE fun to look forward to this coming weekend... Aunt Kris and Molly are coming into town! We cannot wait to lay in the sun with drinks in hand! ;) We are all doing the Sandshaker 5K on Saturday together as well, so that will make for a fun time! I will definitely post an update with pictures afterwards. David is excited to make a good time, he has been improving in his speed considerably every week! I'm just a little jealous! :)
