A great October weekend

I got to meet up with my amazing friend Bama on Saturday for lunch! Haven't seen her for two years so it was so fun to catch up with her.

Some pictures of the restaurant. Its right on the edge of a couple of lakes out in the middle of nowhere near Mississippi. Its called Middendorfs. They are famous for their catfish which was delicious!  

We ate in the outside deck part, it was such a nice day! Only like 84 degrees. 

This is turtle soup. Yes it has real turtle in it. And yes surprisingly it was good.

thought I would include a fantastic picture of what the humidity does to my hair. You're welcome. 

I also got to go to a park and watch hocus pocus with some friends the other night! So fun. Not a quality photo but I love these guys.

A very very warm October

It is still very warm here. Crazy to think its already October! We have had maybe one day that was below 84 degrees. The rest is all above, and with humidity it feels worse. Haha and no fall colors so that is very different. But everything is still going good here. I am staying pretty busy between work and church. Hopefully thungs slow down next month because we have been going crazy the past couple weeks! But its good:) I already have my flight booked for Christmas so I will see y'all soon! I will be there the 20th to the 28th. Love and miss y'all<3

More wonderful seafood

A shrimp pasta type of dish

Crawfish etouffee (I love this, and will be learning how to make it soon!!)

New Orleans trip

I went down to New Orleans yesterday with some people from the ward. We went to the French Market and a couple different cafes. We went to the cathedral and saw some street performers. We walked all around this part of town. Oh and since it is below sealevel here the cemetery are all above ground. Kinda creepy.. and the pyramid one is Nicholas Cage future tombstone he bought (some crazy fans kissed it) lol but it was super fun and the food was great! To say New Orleans they say nawlins.. or nola. Which stands for New Orleans Louisiana. 

The saints super dome.

more views of the city.

Loved these old buildings all over amd the streets here are really narrow. The buildings with balconies are my favorite! 

A wedding march

Cafe du monde where we got beingets (no idea how to spell that.) They are a pastry that is both scone and donut like.
