Becca's Bachelorette Weekend

I spent the weekend in New Orleans for a friends bachelorette party! It was lots of fun and very exhausting!!! We celebrated ALL weekend long, having a lot of alcoholic beverages and a lot of laughs!!!

Here are a few of the G rated pictures I snapped with my iPhone... ;)

Easter Fun

Our Easter weekend was really nice. We spent a lot of time with family and traveling of course. Saturday we went to my grandfathers for our family crawfish boil with my moms family. They were delicious and it was nice to spend time with everyone. On Sunday we woke up early and headed to Zachary for lunch with James' family. We always love getting to visit with his family since we don't see them very often. His grandparents are always so sweet and they always have funny stories to tell. After we left there we headed back to Lafayette to go to dinner at my moms house. We sat outside enjoying the weather and rocking in these huge rocking chairs they have. The one thing I miss about living at home is sitting outside and enjoying the weather. So after leaving there we finally got to head home and spend a few hours together before James left for Shreveport this morning. We watched We Bought a Zoo and it was totally cute!!! Unfortunately 5am came really fast and the Hubby headed off to work again =(

So that leads us to today.. Spring Break Day One! I spent the entire day reading The Hunger Games!!! I have been waiting to read it because everyone told me it was totally addicting and let me just say... they were right! It was so good and I couldn't put it down. After reading all day I finished it and now I can't wait to watch the movie! This weekend can't come fast enough so the hubs and I can go see it!!!!

Tomorrow is day two and i plan to go shopping and have girl time!!! This spring break is so nice and relaxing it would just be so much nicer if my husband was home to enjoy it with me.

Hope your Easter was just as nice as mine!!!

sleep vs. study

Instead of studying for a test I have tomorrow I am writing this!!! School has taken over my life and I have about reached my limit! I can't seem to make myself study anymore!!! So anyways I guess I will just tell you about our weekend...

Well first off during the week I made a rash decision to change my hair color!!! I have been thinking about going blonde but when i went I decided to just do it and lets just say that was a HUGE mistake!!! 10 hours of being in the salon and probably six dyes later... I hate blonde hair!!!! My red hair gave her a lot of trouble and it took forever to get it out and really damaged my hair!! I really wish I would have taken pictures every time because it was horrific!! For now I am a blonde and it isn't totally horrible but I doubt it will last, but hey live and learn right ?!?!

Friday night I worked!!!! For anyone who knows how my life has been lately knows I haven't worked much this semester!! So it was actually kind of a treat to work and make my own money Friday.

Saturday we had another lazy day. We slept in, went to Old Navy and Target, went to lunch, and came home and did homework all evening!!! I know it must sound boring but we love it!!!

And today we woke up and had coffee and we found another guilty pleasure!!! It's a show called GCB and it is totally inappropriate but we both actually laughed our buts off!!! After watching the first three episodes of that, I had to start getting ready. I am taking a theater class this semester and we are required to attend a play put on by the university. It was so long and boring and I was counting the minutes until I cold leave. The only good part was that I went with two friends and we got to keep each other entertained during the show! While I was at the play my hubby was packing to leave. =( They left today at 4 pm for another long week in Shreveport. When I got home I started "trying" to study but it is not going too well!! This week I have two tests, two lessons, two tutoring sessions, and a assignment in theater due!!! I am completely overwhelmed but I know I can get through it!! OH and I am hosting a couples shower Saturday for some friends!!!! (Yeah I know... I am CRAZY!!!!)

So I would have to say this was an eventful weekend and I am so ready for this up coming week to be over!!!!

2 weeks until spring break!!!!!! WOHOOOO!!!!

I think this is such a cute picture of us!!!!

I guess I should go study now.... OR go to sleep!!!!!

XOXO

Happy Sunday =)

We are spending the day outside relaxing and getting some homework done.

Hope your day is just as amazing as ours =)

saturday love

Saturday was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I got to spend the entire day with my hubby. {Something that does not happen very often}. Our lives have been absolutely crazy lately with moving, work, school, and just life in general so when we found out we had nothing to do for the day we knew we had to make it extra special.

To start our perfect day off we slept late {well is 9:00 am late??}. Sleeping late is something of the past in this house. We always seem to have something that requires us to be up at the crack of dawn. And let me just say sleeping is one of my favorite things to do. 

After finally getting ourselves dressed and ready we headed out for a fun filled day of being in love. We went to Barnes and Noble to get a book I needed for class and just walked around and looked at books. I have always loved reading and James has found a new love for it too. We had lunch at Izzo's Illegal Burrito {James' Fav} and stopped and bought Girl Scout cookies from a girl in a cookie costume on the side of the road. After that we headed to the zoo. Apparently my husband has never been to our local zoo and as a child it was one of my favorite places to go so we went there. It wasn't exactly what I remembered but it was still so nice to just be together  {even though we were the only ones there without kids!}.

 The best part was that we both got to see our favorite animals! Mine is the giraffe and James loves the wolf. 

We ended our amazing day off with dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Longhorn Steakhouse. We had to wait an hour to get seated but neither of us seemed to even notice, we were just relaxing an enjoying each others company.

We ordered a ribeye and lobster and it was delicious!!!!!! And we even ordered desert to-go so we could come home and eat it and watch a movie.
Days like that just make me realize how awesome my husband is. Our lives are so crazy right now so the days we do get to spend being together are just extra special!

Valentines Day

I totally forgot to tell y'all about my wonderful valentine aka my hubby!! He is just the sweetest guy I have ever met and would do anything to make me happy. Since he wasn't going to be in town for valentines we decided to celebrate the weekend before. I have been craving boiled crawfish like its nobody's business so he finally gave in a we went to Dwight's (best crawfish in town)!!!! Crawfish is only in season a couple months out of the year and it is one of my all time favorite things to eat, so I try to take full advantage of it the few months it is available!!! So anyways we had an amazing dinner and wonderful weekend together and I was expecting him to leave Monday morning but he got a call late Sunday night saying because of all of the rain we would be getting he was staying in town all week!!! (yippee!!) I woke up Tuesday morning and went tutor and not five minutes after I got home someone knocked on my door with flowers!!!!! I was SO happy!!! James thinks flowers are such a waste of money but I absolutely love them. I think they just make everything better and bring joy into a room!!! And to top it all off he got me a pink curling wand that I have been wanting (now I just need to figure out how to work it)!!! If you haven't noticed already he is seriously the best husband I could have ever asked for!!! I hope your valentine was as awesome as mine ;)

My pretty flowers

Mardi [work] Gras

Yesterday was Mardi Gras, which for our part of the country a BIG deal!! Louisiana loves having any excuse to get together, drink, and have fun and that is definitely the definition of Mardi Gras!!! BUT sadly for the first time in my life I missed Mardi Gras! James and I had to work. It was totally devastating for us because we were really looking forward to it and really wanted to spend time together. Luckily it rained a lot last week and James got to stay in town this week, so at least my hubby was home every night!! Last night James decided since we did not get to celebrate during the day yesterday he would take me to the movies!!! (one of my favorite things to do) Over here on Tuesdays its $7 movies, so it is the perfect time for poor college students to go to the movies!!! We went see The Vow. It was such a good movie!!! I am such a sucker for a romantic movie and this was for sure one of them! That couples love story was amazingly beautiful and truly inspiring. It really made me think about how lucky I am and how much I love my husband! He is truly the best gift God could have ever given me, I am just SO blessed!!! Well now I will be spending my day off from school doing lesson plans and homework to try and catch up!!! I hope you have a great day!!!!
XOXO
