Seven years; no itch.

Yesterday, Sean and I celebrated 7 years of marriage and it got me reminiscing about our wedding planning days. While we were wedding planning, we also took pre-marriage counseling and it is where we became aware of the 7 year itch. We thought it was ridiculous because why not 5 years? Why not 10 years? What made the 7th year so special, or better yet, not so special? We still don�t have an answer but it�s funny to me how at the time 7 years of marriage seemed so far away. Now we�re at the 7 year mark and one may ask us, do you have the itch? I figured I�ll share 7 small reasons as to why I do not have the 7 year itch.

1. He sends me �The Daily Bread� readings every single day to ensure that I do not forget to read it.
2. We laugh about the silliest things. You may not find it funny but you best believe we will!
3. He always tells me I�m beautiful even when I look my absolute worst.
4. We love our date nights and ensure that nothing gets in the way of anytime we can connect with each other.
5. He goes online and looks for items he thinks I would like and texts them to me, constantly.
6. We are convinced that we are each other�s favorite travel partners.
7. He still surprises me with romance, thoughtfulness and just his overall incredible nature.

All I know is that I really did marry my best friend. If anything happens, good or bad, he is always the first person to know. We get each other. We understand each other. So much so that we hardly ever fight. Yes, disagreements here and there but they�re over as soon as they begun. It�s crazy to me that of all the people in the world I found the perfect fit for me.

Happy 7th year, love of my life! We�re going to make the 7th year great again. I�m sorry, I kinda had to! Sean would find that funny.

New Orleans: Evening jazz cruise

Image
On our third evening in NOLA, we went on Steamboat Natchez for their evening jazz cruise. It is a two hour cruise ride along the Mississippi River and it was just so beautiful. We had dinner on the boat and although the food was nothing to write home about the overall experience was such a great one. The music, the views, the people... it was truly just a lovely experience. We experienced the loveliest sunset and just being able to see it and be in that moment was just one of the reasons why it really is so grand to be alive. Too many pictures were taken, even Sean wanted to take pictures and well, I don�t think you can blame us too much. Many of my pictures turned out like the one below because of the humidity. My lens would fog up immediately. It truly was such a great evening and one that I will not soon forget.

Good food & good music

Image
I don�t think there are many more things that are better than good food & good music. I truly believe that food & music can often play a role in putting someone in a great mood or a foul mood. For instance, I know that when I hear a song that I use to listen to when I was a kid, it just brings me back to that exact moment and often times I can�t help but get the silliest grin on my face. Anyway, this brunch date with Cinthia on an extremely cold, spring day (not bitter) did just that. It transported me back to New Orleans where I was stuffing my piehole with delicious foods while listening to live jazz music. And what a great time we had! Live jazz, bottomless mimosas, the cheesiest mac and cheese, lightly toasted cornbread, fried green tomatoes, NOLA shrimp and warm beignets. We felt like we ordered it all but truthfully, we hardly touched the surface of the menu. This wasn�t our first time at The Bayou but it was just as enjoyable as the first time. I feel like we w...

Spring made an appearance!

Image
Guys, we finally got spring like weather (80s!!!) and we made sure to take advantage of it. Good thing too because we are back in the 40s & 50s this week. Not nice spring, not nice. We first enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the deck and then went to the gym for a workout. We had big plans to work on our front and back yards after the gym as Mr. Sean did not rake up the leaves last fall. Since it was going to be such a nice day, I decided that I'd help him, ha. I know how that sounds but I love informing everyone that I�m responsible for the inside cleaning & he�s responsible for the outside cleaning, also known as, raking, mowing, shoveling, etc. Anyway, regardless of how much work it was, it was actually very enjoyable & I believe our workouts earlier in the day helped to give us the energy we needed to work several hours in the front and back yards. But let's be honest, with the weather being so nice it made me want to be outside all day. The dogs were lovin...
