November 2024

 

I hosted a Friendsgiving at my house for church friends, but we didn't take a picture. We had four kinds of soup and played Family Feud. 
Josh was picked to be in a leadership program for Entergy. He went to a conference in Jackson and they took headshots also. 
Josh was going to a class and entered a BBQ contest with the Louisiana Gas Association in Marksville on November 11th. Hudson and I drove over for the day to help him. 
He entered all 3 categories: chicken, ribs and brisket.
James from work was helping out too 
It went pretty smoothly, got everything plated and to the judges in time. 
Other people were cooking and handing out samples of cracklings, kabobs and sausage. All very good food. 
Our team was "The Smoking Meaters". We waited a while to get the scores, but we wanted to see how he did. 
Josh placed 3rd in all 3 categories, but won overall champion! They get  bragging rights and the trophy to stay at their office until next year. 
So proud of him! He is a great cook! 
I stared a new part time job at Heavenly Home Security on November 18th. I was at the Royal Standard for only 3 weeks.  I am working Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. It has been a little bit of an adjustment, but I think it will be a good fit for me. This is my desk and office area. I am doing secretarial work. 
We went to Thanksgiving lunch at my Mom's house. Josh cooked a brisket. 
We played Family feud, Thanksgiving edition. 
We went to Nana & Papa's that evening. Josh smoked a turkey. 
So thankful for my family, we are blessed!

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
