I've found that I have a love of the cuisine found in Louisiana. Beignets, gumbo, crawfish etoufee, meat pies, po' boys of all types, spicy Bloody Marys. I love it all!
I've had the pleasure of reading other Louisiana bloggers and I wish I'd found them sooner so I could have met them in real life.
I've enjoyed the plantations, the history of New Orleans and the capital city of Baton Rouge. I've had many a good time at Pappys in Lake Charles and I've enjoyed the cute shops in Natchitoches.
I felt like I really got to experience this state and as a military spouse it's important to get to know your surroundings, wherever you may end up.
I got the opportunity to meet two great bloggers, Sara and Lindsay. I hope in the coming years I'll be able to keep in touch with them.
Here's to a new chapter in life!
We are leaving for Oklahoma after work today and driving straight through to Oklahoma. I'm estimating us to get home around 1:00 a.m. Yay! I'm so excited to get to see friends and family.
In other news, Sean called to tell me how the final inspection of our house went. The lady who did the inspection said it was one of the cleanest houses she's ever seen. I give kudos for that to Sean who is a cleaning machine! We only got charged $30 for a door that Boomer had scratched the lining of it up a bit. Not bad in my opinion. That's the least amount I've ever been charged when moving out.
Oh..and one last thing. Check out Ravings of a Mad Housewife. She's giving away FiestaWare. How can you not love that?
Thanks for linking up! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAwww... I'm so glad you had fun in Louisiana! I wish we would have gotten to meet as well. If you ever need any LA food (beignet mix, etc) let me know and I'll send some your way!
ReplyDeleteI too am excited that you enjoyed your stay in Louisiana! You will never have better food than right here in Louisiana! I hope you enjoy your new home just as well and tell us back in LA all about it!!

ReplyDeleteI hope you made the trip safely! We will be driving through Oklahoma in a couple of weeks on the way to KS to see my fam :) I'm so glad the final inspection went so well!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels! You will be sorely missed! Mark, in no uncertain terms, demanded that you save an open room for us. I know you would anyhow, but he just wanted to put his foot down.
