Easter Time!

Well, Easter Weekend is here. I am writing this to anyone that has family out of town and is married. Isn't it hard to figure out what you are going to do on the holidays? I think as newley married people, we are still figuring it out. We have been married almost 3 years. We are going to visit Joe's mom this Easter. I'm really glad that since we have been in Memphis, we have gotten to see her so much more. It is only about 1 hr and 45 min to her house from Memphis. From home, it's more like 7 1/2 hrs. I'd much rather drive 1 1/2! I still think it is hard trying to juggle the 2 families. You just have to make a decision and not let yourself feel guilty either way. You have to do what's best for your new family (your husband/wife and yourself). I know it will probably get harder with children, but things always work out.
Here are a few thing that remind me of Easter:
New Easter Dress
Dying Easter eggs at my Maw Maw's house
Chocolate Bunnies
Honey Baked Ham
Beautiful weather
dogwood trees blooming
church
THE CROSS!

HAPPY EASTER!

Good Weekend!

Have you ever just had a really good weekend? I mean one that is relaxing but (always in our case) action packed. That was this weekend. Joe and I never decide to just roll with the punches! We always have 500 things on our plate, but this time, it was worth it. We had a great (and productive weekend)! I always feel either too busy or guilty if I have nothing to do. Why can't I find balance? If you have any ideas let me know. Anyway, back to the weekend. We went back home. I had a long list of to do's. To let you know, I got them all done. Doesn't that feel good? Ha Ha.
I did get to see one of my good friends newborn babies this weekend! She is beautiful. I was just amazed at how small she was. I am so happy for them. Joe came with me and he looked so cute holding that precious little baby. Hopefully, he will be holding ours before too long!
Saturday was pretty fun too. My future sister in law had a shower and then we went to the NO for a wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and we got to see lots of our friends from dental school.
The big event of the weekend was Joe getting a new truck! I'm so excited for him! He will be embarrassed that I wrote about his truck, but I'm trueley just excited for him.
Well, all good things must come to an end. Just like my really good weekend. Back to the grind!

Only 2 1/2 weeks until we move home!!!!

Check Out Our Apartment!

Check out this furniture. It's hideous. Can you believe that someone actually bought this furniture? We are making do! Far cry from home! Ha Ha

The Yales

Here is Joe and I at a Dental School graduation party last year.

Where do I begin

Well, It's been a crazy few months! We were living in South Louisiana when we met KATRINA!
Joe had just begun a Pediatric Dentistry Residency in New Orleans two months before the storm. We were living 60+ miles away and he was commuting. After Hurricane Katrina, he was transfered to Memphis, TN to continue his education at UT. He move, I stayed, then I moved and here we are. We now live in Memphis. I work and he is a resident (temporarily) of UT. Simple? No way! We still own our house in Louisiana. Some people we know were living in it and now they have moved out. We have been living in an apartment (furnished by UT thanks sooo much) that is the size of a garage! I like to joke about it but we are grateful. I'm going to post a few pics of the famous apartment on here so you can get the real feel for our life in Memphis! Anyway, back to our house. It's now empty. I'm sure the neighbors love the high grass and the overflowing mail box. Oh well, that's life. On a happy note, we are moving home! Joe is being transfered back to LSUSD!!!! We are excited. We are ready to get back home. We will truely miss the people we have met up here. I cannot express enough how kind people have been to us during this extremely different period in our lives. Well, that should bring you up to speed with our life right now. We move back to Louisiana April 29!!!!!
