2 years!

Our anniversary dinner.... LOVE IT!!!














Kelly preached in South Baton Rouge and then we visited with his family for a few days before loading up and heading to NOLA!!!















There were two movies being filmed while we were there. This was infront of the Riverwalk, 12 Rounds, with John Sena (sp?)
The second was being filmed outside of our hotel. It's called Cirque Du Freak with John C. Reilly and Selma Hayek (sp?)















Amy before dinner at Bocca's.




















New Orleans is just great. I love it more everytime we go! This time we spent a lot of time on Magazine Street. It's absolutely great. If you are there and need a place to eat, we recommend Theo's Pizza. We also did a cooking class at The New Orleans School of Cooking.
We really enjoyed that. Our chef, Michael DeVIDTS was very entertaining and he had some great tips for "going green" in your kitchen. He made a Corn and Crab Bisque, Shrimp Creole, Pineapple - Coconut Bread Pudding, Pralines and the best part... they served Abita Amber.... They also served Abita Root Beer for those "non-partakers". Needless to say... we left the school ready for a nap!!! It was a great thing our hotel was not far. By the way, if you are ever looking for a lush boutique, we recommend the International House Hotel. It has been completely modernized and the rooms aren't "that" small for a New Orleans hotel. The bathrooms are all "SPA" bathrooms.... There is a I-Home stereo in every room of which, upon arrival, they play New Orleans Jazz music. OH and the spa bathrooms... include all Aveda products!!!

okay that's enough for now!

I am going to try hard to start blogging more!

Post Surgery Update- 2 weeks

Hello!!! I have wanted to update the blog, but I haven't had the energy. It's been much easier to let Kelly send updates via e-mail and for me to make quick updates on Facebook, and then sleep for 3 or 4 hours. For those who aren't up to date, click here , for an overview of how this all began. For those of you who know how it all began, click here , for an update on why I had the surgery a second time. I recommend reading these 2 post before reading anymore, or else you might be a bit confused!!! A s f o r t h e s u r g e r y , i t w e n t w e l l . T h e t u m o r w a s l a r g e r t h a n e x p e c t e d a n d b o n e h a d b e g u n t o g r o w i n s i d e m y s p i n e . T h e y h a d t o c u t t h a t b o n e o u t, s o t h e s u r g e r y lasted close to 6 hours. The difference in the tumor from last time is that this time, the tumor was smaller, but in a more critical area. When he showed us the MRI, the way the tumor was positione...

A Week of Injections... and Frustrations

My IVF nurse called Monday to let me know that I needed to start my Lupron injection. So I had the joy of giving myself my very first injection. It wasn't bad at all. I didn't even feel the needle. I was so nervous, I watched multiple videos, read blogs and so did Kelly - as he is "the back up plan" - if for some reason I couldn't do it. Well... there we were standing in the kitchen with everything sterilized and ready. I grabbed the fat on my thigh and Kelly says, "Oh! My Dad and the boys are here" (they were bringing me banana pudding) so I said, "it's now or never" and I did it without flinching! I was so excited to have done that and it be no big deal... until about 20 minutes later when I began to vomit. So began a pretty long night. I already had a lot of pain from the surgery and then vomiting did not make it any more comfortable. I wasn't able to eat anything but crackers for dinner (not a bad thing for my diet!) The rest of ...

2008 Chickfila Bowl

It was the best of times.... It was the worst of times.... LSU did not have particularly have the best of seasons ( the worst of times ), but we had the opportunity to watch LSU play in the Chickfila Bowl ( best of times ). It was a good game. The End. Oh yeah, here are some pics from the best of times :) enjoy. Other than the Chickfila Bowl, we were able to enjoy staying in Buckhead, which is a great area to visit. There was a Container Store right by our hotel, which made me VERY happy. We also went to the Jim Henson and Olympic Exhibits at The Atlanta History Center as well as the World of Coca Cola in downtown Atlanta. We enjoyed some great food at The Rock Bottom Brewery and The Cheesecake Factory. On New Year's Day, we headed to visit Ben and Kristie Hogue's "practice" bed and breakfast in Rome, GA. (history note: Rome, GA is named Rome because the town is surrounded by 7 hills just like Rome, Italy). We had a wonderful time catching up, reminiscing, and playing...
