This is one of the ceiling Murial's in the wedding church of my dreams. I want everyone to know how spectacular this church is!

Below is the out side of the church in the middle of Jackson square. I can dream.

My weekend was alright.... Yesterday was pretty good. I slept in....I was lazy until after noon. I did get alot accomplished though. I managed to cook a couple of dishes. I made a shrimp fettuccine pasta with cheddar cheese and bacon. I also made jambalaya. R came over and blew off my drive way, rearranged my shelving in my garage and changed some outside light bulbs for me. He was feeling like playing house apparently!

We watched the Saints get beat. It was sad. I was upset they lost in the last 20 seconds of the game. PATHETIC.

We rearranged my furniture and put up my Christmas tree. He appreciates balance. I enjoyed the "playing house" aspect. I did dishes, vacuumed, and laundry.
I am being realistic though...I have seen the multi faceted aspect of his personality. He's pretty vocal on some things.

I still need to find something personal to give him. Mustangs are the only connection I have to go on, well o.k. I can gear it towards photography. He has books, I thought about finding a mustang toy of some type.

Coupons!!!!

I really had a great weekend! Sorry ya'll will get tired with my ***blissful*** moments. They are few and far between, so I am trying to enjoy them.

The presentation went all right. I am happy it's over with. I was bummed she gave me 8 out of 10 points. MEOW.

I am thinking of putting together a few *coupons* for R for this weekend. Wanna throw me a couple of ideas? I have a few of my own....and wanted some of my *love bloggers* to offer feedback~~~ THINK THINK THINK~ Mick, tell me from a guys point what kind of coupon you'd like besides sex....

Saturday..is a one month anniversary. (My god we have moved quickly)....I am going to take him to my favorite place for dinner Sat night. He wants to watch the LSU Tennessee game Sat afternoon. I called this morning and tried to get a hair appointment for Sat morning, so I could try to look fabulous!

The salon isn't opened yet = (

ok, MY 'DETAILS" as requested by BarnGoddess.

Last week R had both of his girls here for the weekend and thru Thanksgiving. They were adorable, I might add. We did alot of stuff together. Fantasy in Lights, Drag race, Dinner at Olive Garden, a Mexican place here and pizza with my aunt..(all of us).

Well, Thanksgiving day we drove to Hattisburg to drop the girls off at their mom's (his ex-wife). I got to meet the ex. They were married 11 years, right out of high school. I liked her! Really, I felt like if we had met under any other circumstances...we would be friends. She was really sweet and I thought she was cute. She is remarried and has 2 step kids as well. I also met her hubby. He wasn't what I expected.
My parents picked me up in Hattisburg that afternoon. (they met very briefly)I spent the night with them and he stayed at his parents.
Friday, he drove to my parents house and we went to the French Quarter for the day. He put up with my shopping! (BIG SCORE THERE). We strolled down Royal street, ate lunch on Bourbon Street and shopped in the French Market. We walked along the river walk and took pictures. Most importantly, he went to St. Louis Cathedral with me. OK this is a big deal because---as you know he has commitment issues---and he knows this is the church I have always dreamed about getting married in--It is the heart of Jackson Square and simply exquisite with the stained glass and murals on the ceiling.
We also went to the Piano bar at Pat Obriens and had a few drinks. He enjoyed that!
That evening we went to Metairie (suburb) and met one of my best friends AMY. We shopped at the mall there and he found his girls some Christmas gifts. He also helped me shop at Lane Bryant. We all 3 of us went to ACME Oyster house and had a YUMMY meal! Shrimp po-boys , grilled bbq'd and fried. We shared a chocolate caramel SINFUL slice of pie. Can I say OMG????

We went back and stayed at my parents for the night. Mom made us a great breakfast. She made Eggs Golden Rod. Again YUM!
We headed back to Ga, but stopped at the Outlet mall in Gulfport Miss. He found some Rock Port shoes and I found a Lane Bryant Outlet. He also brought me into a jewelry store. He wanted to see what I liked and showed me the wedding band he would like to have. I was a bit shocked but overjoyed in the same. I bought a few jackets. We drove on to Mobile and found an incredible Oyster place for a late lunch--it was 4:00 by now. We made it back to my house about 10:30 and watched the end of the IRON bowl.
Sunday he built us a fire in my fireplace....He also made a red sauce with smoked sausage and stuffed pasta with cheese. We watched the Saints win an actual game...we took a nap...built another fire...and he gave me feedback on the power point presentation I have to give in about an hour and a half.

I had a WONDERFUL WONDERFUL weekend!!! What can I tell you???

I am in serious like! My parents liked R. Amy liked R.

I have a field trip today. I need to get moving.

Have a great day.

Wish me luck on my presentation at the college tonight.

I REALLY HAD A GREAT TIME with R.

Ronnie, KIx, Alan and Jake

OK. I had a GREAT weekend. Angel and I drove to Birmingham for Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson and Jake Owen. It sprinkled rain on us driving and during the first 45 minutes of the show. We actually welcomed the rain because it brought the temperatures down outside. It was at an Amphitheater. Our seats were PHENOMENAL. We had fourth row dead center. I couldn't have asked for a better present for my birthday than for my favorite voice and look to sing to me. My face still hurts from smiling. Jake Owen is HOT! I had heard some of his music, but never seen him physically. Can i say YUM?
Brooks and Dunn performed second...and Ronnie just sang his heart out. MY GOD DO I LOVE THAT MAN. He played me everything...he has an extrodinary TENOR voice. He just makes me weak at the knees.
Angel drove us in her convertible, so the wind blew us cool fresh air on the drive home. We had the cutest cop directing traffic. If you haven't picked up on my personality just yet, I am a say what I think kinda gal. Well....We were in a dead stop and I saw the wedding ring but said to the officer "Damn, your wife is a LUCKY woman" . He actually blushed and said in a SWEET Southern Drawl, "I sure do appreciate that" .
We made it home about 5:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Well, I got the notion in my head that i wanted to go to the show they were preforming in Atlanta the next night. I got on line and found through a ticket broker 4 th row seats again. They were however on the left side of the stage. But since the show was in less than 24 hours, they were selling them at FACE VALUE.
So we slept about 6 hours and hopped back into the car and drove to Atlanta for the show Sunday night. I managed to watch sweat just glisten down his face....Can I tell you he is the man I want to have children with? He was just perfect! So, I get the man of my dreams for the whole weekend. Sat and Sun night....both nights great seats. It was a good ok, a GREAT weekend.

Well, It's Tuesday morning and I'm at work. *tired still* but here. Yesterday we were out of A/C. Can you imagine a room full of hot sweaty students and NO AIR. It was a miserable mess.

I truly love these men. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday present than to hear Ronnie Dunn sing to me. It's late and I have to be at work in less than 6 hours.

May I sleep well, have Brooks and Dunn dreams and survive tomorrow.

Good night!

Life's turkey and all of it's dressing

Where art thou Rebecca? I even brought you a rose.....

Happy belated Thanksgiving. A HUGE Thank you to all of our military folks allowing us our freedom and time to be with our families.

"ONLY IN AMERICA" (Where we dream as big as we want too.....)

Well, we made it back. My aunt decided to go with me to see Mom and Dad. She drove me a bit crazy about my driving techniques and the speed I like to go, but we made it back together in one piece.

"I Believe"

It was good to go home. I managed a little cooking, cleaning, and shopping. Mom was given a break. I was also able to interview 2 cleaning services. I was pleased with both, although one was more to my liking. They want $125 for the first visit and $75 for each bi weekly visit. My anut and I are going to rotate months, so mom gets at least 6 months of service. She deserves it, and frankly they do not need anything tangable for the house. They need to get rid of a bunch of stuff...as we all do. I told myself one of my Christmas days I am decluttering my computer room. Right now I have Christmas gifts and way too much paperwork ...and I need to give away some of the books I have in here too.

OK...yes that's me with a HELL of a SUN TAN....just how I feel about de cluttering. I'd rather clean than throw stuff away. After 3 days at mom and dad's I know I need to start parting with things now, and not just each time I move.....

I'll talk about more mom news maybe tomorrow. I need to have a clear thought for a day~ So I simply added a few more of my B N D pics from Atlanta 2 weeks ago....Yes, I have to obsess about SOMETHING positive~ just bear with me.

Ok , I am proud of this pic I took, I think its one of the best my camera got...Again, I LOVE this man!!!!
