We're Back

So after our wonderful little break from school we are back and getting ready for last minute tests, papers, projects and eventually finals. Our trip to Lousianna went great and we got back today at about 3 after hitting no traffic at all which was absolutely amazing. Last night they took us out to the restaurant called "Tunks" which is a Cajun grill and it sits on this lake and I'm sure the view would have been really pretty if it wasn't dark and I could see. Inside there are animals on the walls and definitely has a very cajun, outdoorsy feel to it. Carter was sooo excited about this choice because they serve alligator and he ordered fried alligator. I actually tried some and it taste like a fancy chicken to me so it wasn't that bad at all and now I can say that I've tried alligator!! I got the senior citizen meal (i know, they actually let me get it, the portions were more my size) and it was salad bar, prime rib, baked potato and this AMAZING roll called a pistolette which is basically a fried roll.

Also, today we got to pick up our bed frame from the couple who we bought it from, so now our bedroom looks like it belongs to actual adults instead of our bed just sitting on the floor! It also looks good and finishes off the look of our room so I'm happy about that!

Gotta Love the Dollar Tree

So today I decided to get out and go shopping for some Christmas decoration. Because we don't have tons of extra money for the "unneccesary" I decided to go to the Dollar Tree first and see what they have. I must say that this store has defenitely improved over the years and they even had some cute decorations that won't last forever, but are cute enough for me to decorate our apartment for our first married christmas. I only spent about 10 bucks and got enough things to make our apartment feel decorated when we get back! I also picked up some word search books for our long drive and some book lights so I can see during our night trip tomorrow!

Once everything is all decorated I'll post some pics on here for all to see.

Also, I went to petco and got our rat a run-about ball so she can roam free in her ball around our apartment and get that extra exercise. I'm excited to see how she likes it!!

Almost there...

Only two more days of school and then it's Thanksgiving break!!! And the two days will go bye fast because some of my classes have been cancelled. Our Thanksgiving game plan is we will leave for Alexandria, LO at 10:00 wednesday night and should arrive there at 9 Thursday morning. We'll stay and hang out until sunday morning and then we'll make the drive back to Oklahoma.

After break is over we only have 2 more weeks of classes plus one week of finals and then I fly home to CA for a week and then it's CHRISTMAS!!!
