Adventure Weekend & The 2 Week Wait.

We had an exciting weekend last weekend (and yes, I'm just not getting to post about it) My little entourage and our friends headed to NOLA (once again) we were actually invited by our BFF family to go with them to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and hang out for the day. It was really nice that they asked us to come along. I wasn't 100% sure about going at first, only because my friends hubbers just came home from deployment and they were still kinda reintegrating and i didn't want to take away from their family time before he has to head back to work. So after some contemplation and some pleading of my daughter begging to hang out with er BFF/Twinzee we agreed to go and it was awesome!!! But, what is an awesome good time with out a monkey wrench thrown into the mix...

We headed to NOLA around 9'ish and got there around 10'ish. We toured the aquarium, ate some over priced lunch and walked around the FQ for a bit. Around 2:30 we decided to call it a day and pack up. Upon leaving our friends were hit with car trouble. They have a kick ass old camero that basically runs like my hubs's kick ass old corvette... when it wants to ;) I refer to both cars as having the "Eleanor Syndrom" (remember Gone in 60 Seconds with Nick Cage??) exactly.... after popping the hood and watching the guys mmm and aha, and put out a small electrical fire.... they came to a conclusion of it having a starter problem. So our friends called their insurance company to see how much a tow charge would be from New Orleans back home to Biloxi, which was a whopping $308.00... yeah, so we came up with a plan. Hubs called U-Haul and ordered a small truck with dolli to tow the car ourselves, which came to a grand total of $115.00 so YAY for saving money. Like I said... whats a little fun with out an adventure? lol!
All in all it was a good day though and the kids did surprisingly well despite the mishap. ;)

Other than that is been a slow week... peculiar but slow... I am currently in the 2 week wait. And of course anything and everything that is going on with my body makes me want to react like its a "sign" I do having the feeling of "just knowing" but I don't want to jinx myself. I have felt like this in the past and have remembered what it felt like to be let down. So Im trying very hard not to let my "gut" get the better of me. But just for the record, can we PLEASE get these next 2 weeks over with! That is all... lol. Im trying so hard to think "happy baby thoughts" and if you can brush a little baby dust my way it would be very much appreciated ;)

Oh and this I just have to share...


This pic is of my daughter and her best friend... our families call them "The Twinzees" because they are so much alike its actually scary... and they are born exactly 2 weeks apart.

Busy Little Beeeeeeeeez!

It has been very, very busy since Memorial Day. The Friday before it my in-law came in town and Saturday we took them & our friends down the street to New Orleans. We walked the French Quarter in blistering 98 degree weather and checked out the Aquarium, which was cool but not all that impressive. I honestly believe they wanted waaaaaay too much for their tickets. They make it so you almost have to buy a yearly pass… which was exactly what we did. Had we not we would have paid $69.95 for 2 adult tickets and $26.95 for 1 child ticket. The year pass cost us $95.00 and gets us into both the Aquarium and the Zoo, So yeah we opted for the better deal.

Pretty awesome Bar

Orange puff fish… I dont think he liked me taking his pic! LOL!

“What you lookin at?”

Sunday we pretty much just hung out and Monday my FIL made THE BEST BBQ pulled pork! No, really… it was freakin AWESOME! Tuesday the in-laws left for JAX and took the kiddo with them so that the hubs and I could go to his doc appointment at Pensacola NAS. Which went well yet still a very wishy-washy answer. :( We have the next step worked out, were just hoping they dont cancel on us… so keep fingers crossed and hold your breath! After the appointment we headed to JAX and later that night we attended the “Ultimate Truebie Fan Experience” … the passes I won. We didnt get to meet the cast, it was a Q & A done live from LA with the cast… they sorta lied. LOL! But we did get to see Season 2 Finale on the big screen along with a BIG sneek peek of season 3, and at the end we got goodie bags filled with lots of TB swag! That part was awesome! Wednesday we headed up to Augusta GA, to go see our friends from our last duty station. The hubs’s BFF is deploying and we wanted to see him off before he has to leave. It was good to go and Im glad we drove the 4 hours to see them I missed them alot. Thursday began the loooooooong drive home (9 1/2 hrs) we finished it up with dinner at El Ranchos and now the hubs is working on his vette and Im finishing up the house work. :sigh: I think the mini vacation is over. LOL!
