Olive Branch Bakery & Cafe + Waco, TX+ May 2016

In May, When CyCy and I went to Waco on our last day atfter church we went to this amazing restaurant called Olive Branch. Of all of you travelers its in the same building as Spice Village. Olive Branch was simple but I just loved the layout and Decor. It just added another reason why I love Waco. 
  


This gentleman is in need of some buns.







I want to take a moment and praise this Jalapeno Cheese  soup. OMG. It was AMAZING. 


 Thank you JKAW!

CyCy & Mr. J



I don't believe for a second this girl is a outdoorsy. But JMN tried to teach her everything that he knew. From riding a four wheeler to removing an engine they really bonding together over everything that is outside living.

In this post particularly pressure washing. Girl had no idea that we where cleaning off the patio for her 10th birthday party but she wanted to help do it. 

I have some videos somewhere or her going to town. Ill try and find them. :) 

Wyndham Garden : Metarie, LA : Sept 2016

When we were in New Orleans this is where we stayed. Wyndham Garden Inn. It was a mile away from the airport. Location was awesome! 







There was a balcony that over looked the pool sadly enough we didn't swim. I got the reservation from the Wyndham website. There was confusion about payment. after I booked the hotel online I saw a charge on my account but once I got to the hotel they told me it wasn't paid for.  So of course I call Chase and they tell me that Wyndham has a certain amount of days to accept the payment and they didn't. I think its a little of Chase and Wyndham's fault.  After we squared that away we were good.

The lobby of this hotel was beautiful. I have pictures of it somewhere. Hopefully i find them before this post posts. 





Happy 29

My 29th Birthday was celebrated by getting my hair, nails, and toes done. I had plans to have this massive bonfire but the rain that was suppose to last 30 mins to an hour lasted 2-3 hours. So the wood was wet ( haaa wet wood) and no one wants to be wet and cold.  So JMN and I dashed to make the house look acceptable in order for folks to come to the house.   This year I asked for a Kit Kat cake. It was oh so good. I hadnt had any sweets ( minus 2 bites of wedding cake on 11.5.16) since September 20th.  Honestly the first couple bites were kinda gross.

 Earlier that day Ej and I had gone to Toys R US and I picked up this cool cards on Monopoly game.  The conversation was too juicy to pay attention to how to actually play but how cool was it that I pulled the birthday card. 








At 2:45 am we shut it down . Clearly the boys drank tooo much to function around 12/1ish.
Shoutout to everyone who came over amidst the change of plans.


Clevland Wedding+ New Orleans, LA

To end of our anniversary trip we drove to New Orleans for Chubbs friend Clevland's wedding. It was gorg. I wish I hadn't used snapchat to take pics of the church. It was a Catholic church which you know was beautiful. 
Joe was in the wedding being ridiculous as usual.








My favorite party was the recession line / 2nd line? They almost took us through Bourbon St. but someone rerouted us to the hotel :(.
Gorg wedding, really kind people.
Congrats guys.

It was seaweed season, but it was really cool looking seaweed. I love the beach, and its  beautiful no matter what season it is.

Comfort Inn: CoCoa Beach, Fl



If you know me or if you've read my blog for some time you know that the Chubbs and I go on an anniversary trip every year. Our original plan was to drive to Miami and go see the Bad Boy concert. Miami is about a 16 hour drive from our home. I bought a hotel on Priceline because a friend was telling me how amazing their prices are.
Unfortunately we decided not to go to Miami at hour 14. We were over being in the car by that point and decided to eat the $120 that we could not get back from the Miami hotel. I hadnt bought the concert tickets yet because I assumed that as the concert got closer ( another trick from a friend) tickets would get cheaper. I was wrong. Plus there wasn't any seating for two people to sit together in the nose bleeds.
I started googling and found a Comfort Inn in Cocoa Beach, Fl. Literally a 10 min drive to Port Canaveral. They also had a shuttle that would drive you to your ship.




How cute was this place? There was also a huge pool, grills, and benches in from of each hotel room.
AND the best of all! There's a beach 500 ft away!
