reunited and it feels so good...

Yes, we are the Loyola Flyers not the Snoopys! In 1966 Loyola received permission from Charles M. Schulz to use Snoopy as our mascot. Loyola remains the only school with Snoopy as their mascot. We even have a dog house in front of the campus!

I can't believe how much the school has grown since I was a graduate. {They have their own stadium now!}Nor can I believe it has been 10 years since I walked down those halls. I cherished my time at LCP and remember it fondly. I find it so special that several of us keep in touch with our friends from high school, not only Loyola, but also Shreve, Byrd, and Magnet. Many classmates were missed this past weekend for our 10 year high school reunion, but I think we still had an exceptional turnout with such last minute plans to reunite. Thank you to everyone that came in from out of town - especially Melanie and her sweet family that flew in from Utah, as well as Leigh and her hubby that drove from Atlanta - y'all are awesome. I was happy to get to see everyone in one place at one time!

I also enjoyed getting to meet wives/husbands/kids of fellow graduates. Wow, we are getting old. Am I right? Thanks T for coming to my reunion with me instead going to yours. Even though everyone ended up at Stray Cats {because it was the coolest party of the night ;) }.

horsies & oysties...

On Sunday afternoon the Daltons invited us to their farm for horseback riding and oysters. It offered new experiences for everyone! Tison had never ridden horseback, I had never shucked an oyster, and Baby Hudson had never seen a horse before! After a trail ride around their gorgeous property we all pitched in for dinner. I can't wait to go back!

charming weekend...Part 1

This weekend one of my childhood playmates/god brother/like-a-cousin/friend got married in Covington, Louisiana. My whole family was able to make it, which added to the excitement surrounding the entire  weekend. The rehearsal dinner on Friday night was held at Mary and Roy's house. The evening was so quaint with several oil lamps illuminating the night as we dined on classic Cajun cuisine. It had such an intimate feel that I decided to put the camera down and take pictures with my mind...

I made up for it on Saturday though! Leslie, Tison, David, Lauren and I went to the Abita Brewery in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Having been to the Coors Brewery in Colorado I thought I knew how this would go, but staying true to the laid back LA attitude the brewery was more like going to a bar! (for FREE that is!)You have an hour to enjoy the beer on tap and relax. We got beer, we played games, and bought t-shirts! Lauren drank ROOT beer if anyone was wondering.... :)

Next time you are around Abita Springs stop by the brewery. We had so much fun!!
