French Quarter Fest

We went on down to New Orleans on Saturday to spend the day with Grant's family. We rode down with Chase & Ronda and spent the day there for Grant's dad's birthday. His mom and dad met us there, and we had a wonderful time! I ate FAR too much food, but I justified it in every way possible. (It's Saturday.... it's a special festival...... I need to try new things..... I'm hungry...... the Taco Bell I already had for lunch today doesn't count...)
This is a Jazz Band I enjoyed listening to.


The Riverboat, "The Creole Queen"

Me and my Darling Sister-in-Law, my Godsend, Ronda!

Every festival needs a dancing termite with an umbrella.

Yummy Jambalaya!

Just the Two of Us!


That darling tank top I was wearing was adorable when I put it on... but girls, I am SUNBURNED! It was pretty overcast that day and it wasn't all that hot, but my red-headedness prevailed and I am now red on my arms, chest, shoulders and back. YAY! :) I am pretty lobster-esque but I have been ALOT worse!


We had a very peaceful, relaxing weekend. Grant spent the majority of his free time watching The Masters. My favorite part was when the guy won, his little 2 year old red headed little boy ran up to him squealing. ADORABLE!! I got all teary eyed. Grant turned to me and said, "Are you kidding me?". Golf can be emotional!


I hope that you all have a wonderful week! God has been teaching me so SO much these last few days. I am overwhelmed by His incredible peace and comfort, and I am so relieved to know that I am not in any kind of control of my life. I humbly lay my burdens, my desires, and my needs at His feet. We serve an amazing God my friends! I love Him so!
