church

So, We've been visiting Edgewater Baptist for a few weeks now. We like it. We really enjoy the pastor(very Biblical) and they seem to be really involved in the community. These are things that we have been searching for! So, yay! We went to small groups this morning and apparently most of the people in the church either work or study at New Orleans Baptist Seminary. I'm talking Professors, Deans, and students....which could be good or it could just be weird. We haven't deciede which yet...lol. Please pray that we will get plugged in at whatever church/ ministry that God has us here for!

Random thoughts:

I just realized that my husband is doing the dishes! yay!
I think I want to paint today.
I think I'm developing an addiction to snoballs!

I made an icecream cake this week!

Strawberry/Peach snoball!!! YUMM-o

SO, Paul and I have lived in New Orleans for almost 10 months now! I can hardly believe it! Since we've been here, we've had some amazing peoples come and visit! Paul's parents came for his birthday in February. Kenneth and Christy, our friends from McCalla, came in March for a weekend. All of them got a chance to experience a little bit of "Carnival" or you would know it as Mardi gras. We had a blast! More recently my brother came for a couple of days and then one of my besties, Charissa, came to visit this past weekend which was a blast! We went to the French Market, Ate in the Quarter, and drove to the beach!! Love that girl! There is lots to see and do here and we are always eager to have people come for a visit!!! So, COME VISIT!!! :) I've posted a few pics from our various visits!

Christmas

So we went home to Georgia for Christmas...It was a whirlwind of time with family and friends; it was amazing but very tiresome! We got to spend Christmas Eve and part of Christmas morning with my grandparents, sister, brothers and nieces and it was so great! There are so many people that we miss alot whom we were actually able to see this trip! I love getting to spend time with our Georgia peeps and now our Florida peeps too. See, my mom and her new husband live in Tampa now as well as some of my aunts uncles and a cousin. Also, my dad and his wife live near Orlando. Paul's mom took the family to Disney for Christmas this year, so I was able to work in time with my parents while we were down there...which was nice. Disney/Universal was lots of fun, expecially getting to see our nephews enjoy it. The whole trip was nice since we don't usually get to spend such lengths of time with our families. This allowed us to get in some quality time. I have to say that we were glad to get home though since we spent almost 30 hours driving over the whole trip! We are already looking forward to our next trip to GA though! Whenever that may be!

A Wonderful Week

So, this past week has been fun! Wednesday was my birthday so Paul took me out to dinner and a movie. Then, the next day it snowed! Which was totally cool as always! I love the snow! Then the next night we drove to Mississippi to see a friend who was playing a concert in Pascagoula. It was the Newsong Christmas Tour with Newsong, Rush of Fools, Chris Sligh, and Ayiesha Woods. The concert was pretty tite and it was good to see our friend Kevin too. The next day was Saturday which we spent mostly at the mall. It's always nice to get to spend extra time together. So all around it was a great week and I'm very thankful!
