Behind the Scenes: The Latest Happenings

I have gotten to a point where I don't really have exciting things happening on a weekly basis. I thought about trying to do short little inserts each week, but it would get very redundant in the sense that you would hear about me going to work, watching basketball, and sleeping. A very uneventful time. So the longer the wait, the longer the blog. I promise I will try to keep it short and simple!

Since my last post, life has mainly just been basketball. (Pictures to follow) The main event, however, was my parents being able to visit us here in Monroe this last weekend. We had so much fun being able to take them around and enjoy the different happenings. They arrived late Thursday and headed out yesterday afternoon. We started the trip off on Friday to Vicksburg, MS. We took them around the Vicksburg Battlefield and then on to the casino. No, we didn't really gamble, or lose any money, more just sight seeing and people watching.

Saturday we were able to watch one of Keith's basketball games and then enjoy the Monroe Mardi Gras parade. I tried warning the parents about what was about to come, and even though it is not near as wild as New Orleans, you still are able to see plenty of craziness in the Monroe streets. Sunday we took dad and mom to one of our favorite restaurants on the water and enjoyed a beautiful day. Throughout the weekend, there were lots of cards played, with a score tab for the entire weekend. Unfortunately, I was on the losing side of things, and Dad pulled out the win again for the weekend. We had to start pulling cards for teams, because we wanted to "mix" it up, but I think it was more so they didn't leave me out of getting picked last. I am so glad they were able to come down and enjoy some time in the warmer weather!

Here are a couple pictures from the last few weeks! Enjoy.
