Cafe Du Monde is always awesome

It's been a busy week-past few weeks, actually. Last weekend we went to Memphis for Katie Trent's wedding. Lots of fun, not lots of sleep. Beale street was calling my name. It was our first weekend away from Kate, and I really enjoyed it. Andy's mom came down and babysat for us. She did a great job. I loved seeing all my friends, too.
When we came home, we were met by all 4 of A's sisters, 1 boyfriend, and 1 friend. They came to work at Lagniappe all week and did some shed building and such. It was great having them-always someone around to play with Kate and I got to sleep late a lot. That was awesome. Thursday was our anniversary, so we celebrated it Friday by going to new orleans. we had to take elizabeth to the airport there so we made a day of it. thanks, elizabeth, for the massage. i had my first massage ever this past week-that was the BEST. i could get used to those. anyway so we started out in nola with some cafe du monde beignets.....so freakin tasty. walked around jackson square, did the french market, ate at a classy cafe, hit bourbon street, headed home. i love those green chairs at cafe du monde. so many memories. kelly and lily were at my house when i got home and that was so awesome. they stayed with us until today and i enjoyed it thoroughly.
the puppies are now 4 weeks old and have been moved to the backyard. they have a wonderful pen that andy's mom built and they are very happy. i can't wait to give them away.
today we went to church and then back to the airport in nola to make our last drop off. stopped at olive garden-my absolute favorite.
this week i plan on sitting around in my pajamas a lot because i love doing that. catching up on tv. working on my tan when i can. i got a job working for the church doing scheduling. it's a fun job. teams call and email me to schedule their trip and i enjoy telling them about lagniappe. they even bought me a blackberry. i love having it. i can check my email anywhere. i can even blog like landon howell from anywhere.
i did about 300 loads of laundry last week. i went through a whole bottle of tide.
we have a wedding in columbus this upcoming weekend. i am looking forward to it although travel with kate might be cumbersome. i am not looking forward to sleeping in the same room with her. so hopefully i can figure something out.
i'd appreciate your prayers! i have a bladder infection so that is not fun.
sorry if this post was boring. i realized i hadn't posted in a long time so i just wanted to give an update.
when we were in new orleans i picked up a book about hurricane katrina and started reading it. it made me so depressed. i had forgotten how bad things were even though i live down here. it's almost like it's normal that things look so bad down here but i was so sad that i had to put the book down. it made me glad that i live here so we can help these folks.
