Trolley Time

This is the last pictures of our trip to New Orleans! I was sad that I had to leave the next day but I am going back soon!!

We got to see Commander's Palace Restaurant! Top Chef people were here for the finale and we watched it on TV! That is me and Thomas's favorite TV show!

This cemetery was right across the street from Commander's Palace. Thomas's mom and aunt really wanted to see some cemetery's so we went to see this one. But when we got there, it was closed! It was still neat to see though.

This is Melissa and Aunt Becky on the trolley! Us four decided to ride it after dinner because Becky hadn't before! We had a lot of fun!

Me and Thomas on the trolley!

This is Melissa on the trolley! She wasn't looking but I still think that this is such a great picture of her!

This is the CVS where the trolley stopped at Canal Street. The sign makes the store look really big, but it is the same size as an other CVS store.

I am also going to post some pictures of visiting the wedding cake place soon! I am so excited about everything that is going on! This year is going to be awesome and I cant wait to marry my best friend!

New Orleans Part 2

Here are more pictures of our trip down to New Orleans! We went to the zoo the next day and stayed there for about 5 hours. I could not believe that we stayed there that long, but it was a lot of fun!! Enjoy viewing the pictures!!

We ate breakfast at the hotel and then went to look at Thomas's work place! It was really nice and I am glad I got to see where he was working.

Then, if you know me, we had to go to Starbucks for me to get my grande carmel frappuccino with whipped cream and extra-extra carmel!

The first animals we saw were the elephants! They performed for us and it was really neat. I thought that I was at the circus. LOL

We saw a albino alligator. He/She was huge and the only thing between me and him/her was a piece of glass. I was a little nervous!

I really liked the bears. Look closely and you can see him/her 's claws. I thought this bear was the cutest thing laying on the rock sleeping!

We also saw flamingos. This one was sleeping on one leg with his/her 's head tucked into

his/her 's body.

This white tiger was sleeping on a rock. My camera zoomed in pretty far so I could get this picture.

The giraffes were pretty. I think we looked in three different spots before we found the area where we could see them the best.

Im so glad I was with him! We had a long day at the zoo, but at least we were together!

This is the sign in front of the zoo. I didn't get it until we left. Oh and we talked about the dinosaur adventure the entire time we were there and when we got there, you had to pay 4 dollars to see the dinosaurs. How terrible is that! But we still had fun seeing everything else!

I will be adding more things about the wedding soon!

Trip to New Orleans

I finally have my camera cord so I can upload photos!! It makes me very happy, except for the fact that I had to download the program my camera goes with on my computer because the pictures would not up load on any other program. It just took forever to get pictures back on my computer, but now they are finally there and you can view them with me!

Here are the pics and comments of the trip to New Orleans to see Thomas! I miss him a lot but had a wonderful time down there visiting!

This picture is of canal street the first night we were there. I think that this street looks like Rodeo Drive, but I don't know for sure because I have never been there.

This is the first place we ate when we got there. It was Acme Oyster House and I tried fried shrimp for the first time. It was actually very yummy and I think I might try some again some other time!

This is the Jambalaya that Aunt Becky had to eat. She said that it was very good so I had to take a picture of it. *You might see more food pictures later on as well*

This is Mr. Tommy trying on masquerade masks in one of the stores downtown. I think he tried on three more of these in three different stores. LOL

These are the three amigos!! We were on our way to eat breakfast the next morning!!

This is what me and Thomas had for breakfast. I am not sure what it was called, but it sure was good. As you can tell, this was probably not the healthiest breakfast for me but we walked it off that day.

We then decided to go to the Aquarium after breakfast and these guys were my favorite. They seemed to be cleaning themselves and then turned to the audience and raised their arms up. I am not exactly sure what they were doing, but it was kinda weird and cute at the same time.

This is Thomas and Mr. Tommy smelling and touching a piece of dung from a dung beetle. But it really is not dung.

This is the only picture I got of the beignets that we ate from Cafe Du Monde. They were way too good, as you can tell!!

This is me and Thomas at the Insectarium. I love him so much!!

We finished the day off with dinner and celebrating Thomas's birthday! It was such a great day!

I have more pictures coming!! It just takes a while to get everything posted, but at least there are pictures now!!

Clean up room

Today was a long day of cleaning. When I first woke up this morning, I thought that I wouldnt have to do much except go to walmart for my mom and get starbucks. But I was wrong. Ever since Ive been home, I have had to clean up my room so I can take the stuff I want with me when I get married and sell the other stuff. I think I threw away 10 bags of trash and possibly 10 bags for the garage sell. It is just so crazy all of the things that you can have in your room and not know about. But in the end, I am thankful that I did this because it gets me ready for when I am ready to move all of my things out and into the place where me and Thomas will live! I am really excited to move and live with him! He is such an awesome person and I love him!!

Well, I want to put up pictures but that will have to come later. I am missing my cord, but will get it soon I hope!

Wedding Planning Galore

As most people know, I am getting married next year which is so exciting!! But with the wedding comes all the planning which is fun and crazy at the same time. There are just so many things to get done and people to call. Now a days you need to be engaged for a year because the places you want to get married in or your photographer and such may be booked already. I am really glad that I got on the ball and called people that I knew I wanted right away. We are having Altmix Photography do our photography for the wedding! I am very very excited because they do such a great job. They have done many of my friend's weddings and I knew that I had to have them for mine. The place we are getting married in is called the King Plow Arts Center in Atlanta. I know that neither one of us (me or Thomas) are from Atlanta, but it is half-way for our families that are coming to the wedding and our friends wont have to drive far either. Me, my mom, and Mrs. Leslie (Thomas's mom) went to see the place and we all fell in love. This place is beautiful and definitely reflects who me and Thomas are. I really love the place and I am so excited to get married there!! We still have to meet with the florist and the cake people, but we have most of the big things taken care of already. We have many little odds and ends things to do as well, but those will be taken care of throughout this year of planning. I will keep postings coming as often as possibly!

My First Blog

This is my first blog ever. I read my future sister-in-law's blog all the time which in the end made me want to start one as well. She was the person who helped me come up with the name. LOL. But anyway, I am becoming a Brown next year and I cannot wait! I get to marry my best friend whom God has given to me! He is such a blessing and someone whom I love deeply! I cannot wait to see what happens throughout this year and the years after we are married! I will be bringing more postings soon!
