Happy Birthday Jesus!

Lights at City Park in New Orleans!

Hammond thus far!!

So we have been in Hammond for a little over a week now and we are adjusting. We like our new place a lot and we (well I) really like that Target is 3 exits from my house! I find that if I am having a bad day all I have to do is run to Target and look around. It seems to make all things better!! haha

Things we love about Hammond are:
our ice machine in our refridge
the closeness to New Orleans and shopping
the Walmart lines!! (we counted 6 cashiers waiting to check people out!! It was AMAZING!!)

Things we miss about Ruston:
My phone actually working in my house
Cable!!
Emmanuel!! (we miss it A LOT!!)
Friend!

Here are some pictures of things that have been going on..

Our first meal in our new home..haha

The Bidding is Over

Thank you so much for the bids you placed on the print from Robyn Crumby for the adoption. The bidding is over and the print is sold! Thank you much!

Hammond here we are!

So we are all moved in. That doesn't mean we have everything in place but all the boxes are off the truck and the truck has been returned. We are trying to adjust and get everything in some sort of order. It has been so hard to figure out where to place stuff and how to decorate. I have never been very good at decorating so moving is a stretch!
Things we love about Hammond so far are: 2 WORKING bathrooms, the students at the BCM, and the quietness of our new place.
Things we miss about Ruston: our friends, knowing where everything is, 943 Sybil...

The current bid for the painting is: $125

Happy Late Halloween!

What an eventful Halloween! It started on Friday. We trick-or-treated at local businesses in downtown Ruston. It was so much fun and our favorite part was the gummy eyeballs given out by the blind center. Friday night we went to the BCM for the Halloween dance. It was so much fun seeing all the creative costumes and hanging out with students. On Saturday night we went trick-or-treating in a neighborhood with our church family/friends. It was loads of fun and Jackson got tons of GOOD candy. Not just gummy eyeballs but ring pops and good chocolate! Then to top the Halloween weekend off we went to our church Pumpkin Patch. We played games, ate nachos, and once again filled the bucket with candy! Overall, a fantastic
Halloween weekend!!
