Constant Change

Well, because life is in constant change, Joey's "mandatory" training session was canceled because not enough people were going to be there. (Figure that one out, I haven't). So, Joey and I decided that because my job was mobile, that after getting off call on Friday, we would leave for New Orleans on Saturday. I could work from his Mom and Dad's house on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and then we would just take it from there. So, that's what we did.

We left here on Saturday, and I slept most of the way (on-call hangover) to New Orleans. We left here about 7:00 AM and got to New Orleans about 10:00 PM. We took Honey with us and for her first long trip, she did fantastic. Then, on Sunday, Joey's mom had a coffee for us at 2:00 PM on Sunday. It was great. Aunt Judy, Uncle Mike, Uncle Anthony, Marilyn and the rest of us had a great after noon. (And "learned" how the date for Easter is determined!). Then I worked the next three days while Joey and the girls shopped, ate, and just had some good quality time.

On Thursday, we left for Lafayette and Lisa and Carl's BEAUTIFUL new house. Hurricanes can be rough, but the final outcome for Lisa and Carl was nice to see. They took all of us (including Staci and Steve's family) out for crawfish at a local Lafayette restaurant and it was SO FABULOUS!!!! I so miss the crawfish. Lisa also has a new teacup Yorkie (Daisy) who we all just couldn't get enough of. It was fun to watch Honey, who for the first time, was the BIG dog. Bibianna had so much fun with Madison, Collin, Bennett, Grayson, Robert and Benjamin, and Carolyn just tried to keep from being completely overwhelmed by the large group of people. ;)

Friday morning, we left for home. It was sad coming home, and I have to say that I have been kind of blue all week. It was great to see everyone but it makes me sad to leave them. Anyway, I am hoping that Lisa will be BRAVE enough to let Bibianna and I come and spend a week or so with her this summer. I am so blessed to have such a fabulous family, and I LOVE them all!
