NOLA!

I had a fabulous time in New Orleans with all my good girlfriends. Not everyone was able to make it, but it turned out to be a great group. Half of us know Ryan from undergrad and half knew her from law school.

Here is all of us in the park.



This is Ryan and Emily at her lingerie party. They are beautiful sisters! Emily gets married in February, four months after Ry. We are so excited to be a part of both their weddings as they are beautiful girls inside and out...not to mention that they are marrying WONDERFUL men!



And, just for fun, the first night (very late at a voodoo shop...don't ask) we picked up three candles to light during her shower. They meant, "passion, creativity, and protection". Pretty funny and truly something I will never forget!



We went and had snowballs (snowcones) and they were incredible. This is Jess and I with Debbie who is in charge of the stand--she was on the Food Network! They put homemade condensed milk on top and LORD HAVE MERCY was it worth it!



Here is Jess and I at dinner one night, just another wonderful friend!



It was so nice to spend my last weekend of freedom with these girls. They are so much fun and mean so much to me. We rarely all get together like this (without the hubbies).

I am going to take a little blogging break this week because we are going BACK TO SCHOOL! I can't believe the summer is over and I am teaching again. WOW! I'm excited, but also completely overwhelmed. So, I will see you when I resurface!
