new orleans.

Yesterday, I planned on having a day trip to Hattiesburg with Jonathan.

We had everything planned out -- stop by Jones, trip to the zoo, eat at Keg and Barrel,

maybe even catch an afternoon movie that I've been dying to see.

Once we got to Hattiesburg, we decided to keep driving.

An hour and a half later, we were in New Orleans.

I was so excited. New Orleans is one of my favorite places to visit.

And what's better than going with one of your favorite people in the world?

We had such a great day from start to finish.

We walked and walked and ate and ate.

We stopped by Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop (the oldest structure used as a bar in the country),

ate a quick bite at Mother's, shopped at Riverwalk, ate AGAIN at

Coop's place, and then had dessert at Cafe du Monde.

And along the way we stopped in tons of souvenir shops, had discussions about pirates,

and sweated, ALOT.

It was so great to get away, just for the day, live life and be spontaneous.

I need a little bit more of that in my life.

New Orleans has always been a place I could visit over and over again,

and this trip was the best yet. Without a doubt.

beach.

Yesterday, I was at the beach with my boyfriend. Today, I was back at work.

Reality sucks.

Friday morning I woke up early (for me) and got ready. I was like a kid.

Super excited. Drove 3.5 hours to the beach.

Did a little shopping. Well, I supervised and didn't buy a thing.

Ate seafood. Watched movies. Sat on the beach.

Saturday morning, we went to the beach.

I was dragged into the water. But I didnt mind. I had a cute guy by my side.

Saw jellyfish, stingray, and crabs. Pretty awesome.

After lunch, Jonathan took me up in the plane.

It was the first time he had taken me flying, and I absolutely loved it.

We flew along the coastline and he even let me fly the plane.

That night, we went to his cousin's wedding on the beach.

To top the day off, Mississippi State won their season opener and Ole Miss lost.

Sunday, Jonathan left on a plane back to Memphis, I left on a plane back to Forest.

We are always going in opposite directions it seems like.

But I do love the time I got to spend with him this weekend.

The beach is my favorite place in the world, and I'm so glad I was there with him.
