Our Weekend of Engagement Parties, House Hunting and a Bridal Shower
This past weekend Johnny and I traveled to Baton Rouge to start our house hunting process, to attend an engagement party for Johnny's cousing Jessica in Clinton and so I could attend Lacy's bridal shower at Centenary in Franklinton on Sunday.
First, our house hunting trip, althought not successful was great. We drove around Walker and Denham Springs looking at the neighborhoods the houses. I think we may have a plan of attack now. A construction company called MA Allen builds tons of houses around the Baton Rouge area with a lower end price range. I think Johnny will be talking to them soon and maybe next time we get a chance to go down, they can show us our options.
The engagement party for Jessica was fun, but really really cold. It was outside on some friends patio. The wind just made it even colder. However, Johnnny and I learned alot about the areas of Livingston Parish by talking to some of the cousins and aunts about our move and our prospective house. All in all, it was great visiting, great food and tons of information.
The bridal shower at Centenary was great. I was able to see lots of people that I hadn't seen in a while and visit with them. Billy and Lacy racked up on the gifts. They really got some pretty things. So much stuff that once we filled up Mrs. Ginny's car, we still needed room, so we packed the rest in Johnny's Tahoe. Of course, the hostesses picked on me asking if what was in the Tahoe went to Ruston. I smiled and said, althought I certainly wouldn't mind, I would make it to Billy and Lacy. :)
All in all we had a great weekend. It's always fun to go home and visit with family and friends. In fact, Johnny and I were a little sad as we had to pack up and come back to Ruston! We are looking forward to the move. I will keep you posted.
