Things that make you go ugh

I’ve been feeling like there’s a bit of a rain cloud over my head lately. Which in turn ruins my blogspiration.
I only want to blog when my life is, well perfect!
While I could be a deceptive blogger and only write about ponies and rainbows in an attempt to make you all think I feel peachy, but let’s be real with each other!
So in the spirit of all things Eeyore, I present to you an incomplete list of things that drive this girl nuts (and then some)…


persistent negativity
fighting with my husband
unorganized chaos
waking up and having to pee 30 minutes before my alarm goes off
being cut off by cars
stepping off of an elevator to discover a horde of people waiting like vultures to get on
checking my voicemail
excessive and unnecessary emoticon use :)
rude and unhappy cashiers
when Cafe Roma is out of hummus
spam mail
having to press one for English and then getting someone who can barely speak it!
being late (this excludes work and parties)
being out of my awaken aromatherapy spray
hemorrhoids, I have never had one but my husband has one!
being hungry
wanting to sleep but can't

That's all for now! I do feel some sunshine peaking through this rain cloud. I am heading to the beach in the morning!

Prayers Answered!

May has been awesome thus far. Ryan got accepted into nursing school and will start in August!! We are ecstatic, this was his third attempt at applying. He met the qualifications each time but so did about a million other students so he is finally going to get his turn.

Sorry for not updating about Hannah Grace sooner but she has been doing great. She has been out of the hospital for awhile now and only has to go in for a few clinic visits a week to check her blood and platelet levels. The pic was her lap she walked in our hometown's relay for life for cancer survivors. All her scans are cancer free!! What a blessing!

Hope you all are able to soak up some of this beautiful sun this weekend. I have work tonight but then I am headed to the big city in the am to have a quick visit with my mom!

Bring it on May!!

So no excuses!! I admit I have been terrible with this lately. Don't really know y, just have had no blogspiration.

Here are a few highlights of whats been going on in my life.....

1. some friends of ours bought a bar
2. had a kick a$$ 26th b-day party
3. attended my first catholic mass

4. found a new hangout see #1
5. fell in love with a BMW almost bought it, but then came back to reality
6. had several fun fishing adventures, unfortunately not very successful
7. had some serious wii tournaments which always end in painful wii wrist
8. lost some friends, gained some, and reconnected with some old ones
9. realized Ryan and I really love Acme Oyster house
10. became really addicted to facebook, myspace is so last year!
11. my bff from AL is visiting NOLA frequently (what can I say I am the matchmaker, fingers crossed!)

12. the tax man came and he left with too much of our money!

13. danced a couple nights away (barefoot) until my feet looked like Huck Finn and my calves felt like they were going to fall off!

14. realized I shouldnt shake my head and hair so much on those nights to avoid not being able to turn my head for the next following two days.

15. Lots of my friends back in AL found out they are prego! (my mom is hoping I will do the same but we are still not ready see #13)

16. Celebrated our two year wedding anniversary and realize I love him more and more every day!


Overall I have to say the last couple months have been kinda crazy! I have probably laughed more and cried more than usual! But its over now I can only live and learn and hope others will do the same!

beautiful bride with dirty feet!

As I expected the wedding was beautiful and we all had a great time celebrating with the bride and groom!


Maybe a little too much fun this was our feet after going out dancing after the wedding. ewwww!!






Now I am really jealous because they are living it up on the beach in St. Lucia.
Miss you guys!
Hope you are having a great time!

To Lau

No I did not abandon you guys!! I have just been really busy with parties, mardi gras, sickness, trips home, a reliogous conferance and dave is back so that takes alot out of us!! just joking we love you Dave!!
But my blog today is for Lau and Eti, some really good friends of ours that are tying the knot today. (We actually introduced them)


-Lauren I hope your day is everything that you have ever dreamed of and more.
-I hope you can take it all in and remember every thing imaginably possible. Only if time could stand still for one day!
-I hope your walk down the isle with your dad is just like what every little girl dreams of!!
-I hope the look on eti's face when he sees u for the first time brings chills to you and you will be able to rexp. this numerous times when you think back on it.
-I hope everything will run as smoothly as possible and you have the least stress any bride has ever had.
-I hope your cake is the cake of your dreams and someone packs you lots to go!
-I hope your photographer captures everything from your head to your toes and all the details in between so you can look back on this happy day with your kids and they can say mom I can't believe you made your bridesmaids wear that!!

I could go on and on forever girl but I know everything will be perfect
you will be gorgeous, he will be handsome, we will have fun, and memories will be made that you will never forget!!
Love you!
verry soon to be "Mrs. Estorge"
