I'm Back, Y'all!

Seriously, if I was in Louisiana for as much as one more day, I'd speak fluent southern drawl.  I never thought it'd be so easy to pick up saying y'all and all the other little short cut words.  For example: gettin', potata's, yellin', geet {did you eat?}, git-ova-her {get over here!}


My trip to visit Megan {Mackey Madness} was nothing short of amazing. An epic blogger meet up, really.  We just get each other, and I'm beyond blessed to have her in my life.  There's something so amazing about finding a friend out there who has the same values, beliefs, and passions as you. Oh- and helps that she's darlin' and hilarious, too (: I'm so happy we finally made our friendship a real life one!


We took so many pictures, so I'm going to weed through them by doing a day-by-day recap.  Here's day one of our trip.


Louisiana Day 1: Shreveport
They picked me up from the airport and had a sign for me! Then they took me to a cupcake shop and straight to Sonic for a cherry lime-aid.

Next we went to dinner at Cheddars and I had my first ever Sweet Tea.  It sure was sweet...let me tell ya! I've decided it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't order it again. Don't hate me (:

I also experienced this butter and honey croissant.  And then I gained 10lbs.
Best decision ever. Worth every pound!

The next morning Meg's hubby made us cinnamon rolls and we played with the puppies. Cashmere, Diesel, and Radar were just what I needed as a pick me up from loosing Shasta.  I want another doggie now! {Hear that dad?!}

After we had a lazy morning in, we took a drive out to down town Shreveport and shopped around at this cute place called the Boardwalk.  If you follow us on twitter, you know we indulged in chocolate covered pretzels and ice cream, one right after another!

Next, Meg took me to the chapel she and Justin were married in! So fun to see. I wish I had pictures to show you, but right after we took pictures of the chapel, we drove out to the Arkansas state line {20 minutes away} to take a picture....

And then we drove off back into town but had a little hiccup... here's what happened:

Camera= goner, phone=perfect condition thanks to her otterbox case:

So Megan's camera is no more :( It also had the picture of me tasting a piece of friend catfish, which if you know me, is unheard of, considering I haven't eaten {nor liked} seafood my whole life!  #sobrave
I'm sad to report that I didn't like it...but I checked it off my bucket list.


I also learned that you get WAY more food for your money in Louisiana than in California! All this was $7.69. Pure shock.

Needless to say, I love the South and Megan and I just had the best time. I can't wait to show you more pictures! In addition to recapping our trip, I've also captured some amazing southern homes I'll be sharing soon.  I have all topics covered!
Also, since I've never been to the South, I'll be sharing some things I've learned...
Day 1 Lesson Learned: You can fry absolutely anything.


Happy Monday!
What did Y'all do this weekend? (;
