Remebering

We are back in Mississippi and the last time we were here it was December! It was strange because normally we are her in November and celebrate Thanksgiving with the Cooks and I always do my Black Friday shopping here. But this year we were in North Carolina and then came here before Christmas, yet after Turkey Day. Now we are back for a wedding. Chris is in the wedding and will be gone from around noon on Saturday until midnight. I was going to go with him, but I didn't want to be a third wheel. He will be with all his buddies from High School and none of them know me, and none of them are married- except the one who is getting married. So it's not like all the wives of the groomsmen can hang out and go shopping in New Orleans and enjoy a nice afternoon while our guys are getting ready for their buddies wedding. So I decided to stay home with the kids and spend time around a less crowded Gulfport! The Saints are playing in the Super Bowl on Sunday and Mardi Gras is the 16th, so New Orleans this time of year is crazy, but adding the Saints at the bowl, and that makes it even more crowded and crazy. My nephew invited me to go with his girlfriend to a Brad Paisley concert, but I turned that down too. I'd rather go with my husband. I hope that my friend Ayrika and I will be selected for a painting class at the local Canvas and Cocktails place. We picked Monday night, I hope they aren't all booked up. I haven't heard back from the yet. So there is much to do around here, even if I don't make it to the Wedding. Shopping here is always good. I find amazing deals- from thrift stores, to yard sales to the outlet malls. Good times. We are only here until Wednesday and then we have to head back to work for 2 days and then off several more. Life is life. Not sure what else I'd like to say right now, so we will wrap this bad boy up, like a gift.
