LSU Games



So what do you do when the games start to suck? Take artistic photos of the stadium through mom's sunglasses of course! lol

Go to my photo's website at Shutterfly to check out the photos from this season. We had a very fun tailgate with some meter readers and linemen that I work with.

You will also Mr. Wayne and Mrs. Cynthia in the photos. Mr. Wayne is doing much better. He had brain surgery in the summer and you can tell he has come a long way.

Thanksgiving Preparations

We are planning a pilgrimage in honor of Thanksgiving. Just as ye ole ancestors made a pilgrimage from the old world, so will we to The Woodlands of Texas. Who am I fooling? It's going to be a sequel to a National Lampoons Holiday movie. Any way we are all planning on going visit Mike next week. Not sure who all will go, but the entire family is invited. Since Mike doesn't have a whole lot of kitchen implements, I decided to get a head start and freeze some of the dishes for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm very excited about the way the dishes came out. Hopefully they taste as good as they look. Here's a picture of my Toffee Sweet Potato Pie and Spinach Madeline.

My 30th Birthday

Sorry I'm running behind on blogging. I've been busy. My 30th birthday was awesome. I had signs from my house to the office announcing I was 30. I spent the day with Devin on a field trip. We went to see some plays in Baton Rouge. Then the family surprised me by coming to my house and throwing a party. The next day when I got to the office. I found it deocrated and my brother sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and beautiful gifts. You really made my day very special.
Thanks to Julie...I'm stealing her idea to post my photos on Shutterfly so check it out!

Home Improvement Project

What happens when you house 160 people on company property? Well your inventory of sheets and towels triple. Since Katrina and Rita we had cleaned out an extra room in our office. This is where we stored all our linens, air mattresses and towels. Well because Gustav was our largest storm in our 70 year history. Changes had to be made to our storage room. The company hired my dad and I to build the shelves. Here are some pics from the project. More to come later.
