Five Fun Facts

Amanda's 5 Fun Facts:
1) I have weird food issues. I don't eat anything white and creamy - no mayo, no ranch, no sour cream. This means no chicken salad and no potato salad. I will eat something with these items if it is cooked though. I say I don't like cheese but I like cheese pizza and rotel dip. I guess I should say I don't like cheese on sandwiches, hamburgers or just a piece of cheese. Speaking of sandwiches, I just like meat, bread and veggies on those. :)
2) I want to run a half marathon one day just so I can get a 13.1 sticker. I'm working on the 10k first. Baby steps.
3) I don't shop at Wal-Mart.
4) I can only wear a purse on my left shoulder. It feels super strange on my right one.
5) I'm not creative at all. I wish I could decorate my house and envision fabulous outfits, but I lack the talent for both.

Robert's 5 Fun Facts:
1) Robert doesn't eat mayo or sour cream either. However, he will put ranch dressing on anything. He doesn't eat cole slaw but he will eat tuna dip.
2) Robert is creative. He can play the drums, and he is very good at drawing. I have proof!
3) Robert was Phi Mu Men of Year calendar's Mr. November 2002. I have proof of that as well!
4) Robert is the best gift buyer ever. He puts thought into every purchase he makes.
5) Robert loves to watch movies. No television shows, just movies. Even if he has seen it 10 times and it's 10 minutes from the end, he will watch it.

Sugar's 5 Fun Facts:
1) Sugar loves vegetables especially broccoli and cucumbers. Veggies are the only "people food" that she is allowed to eat. We are very strict parents. :)
2) Sugar doesn't mind visiting her veterinarian.
3) Sugar can fetch but she doesn't quite know how to bring it back.
4) Sugar loves to go for a run with me. She goes all out the first mile, and I have to drag her for the second mile. Then she sleeps for several hours.
5) Sugar likes to put her head in our lap if we are sitting down. It is the sweetest thing ever.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Last weekend was Allyson and Dave's wedding weekend in Natchez. The venue, Dunleith Plantation, was amazing! Friday night, we had the rehearsal on the front steps of the main house and dinner at the Castle restaurant on the grounds. Dinner was awesome - a filet, grouper, asparagus, and cheese grits. Here are some pictures from the Castle.



Saturday morning, all the girls enjoyed a yummy breakfast together and then we headed to the salon. We all really enjoyed bridesmaid bonding time at the salon! Next up was pictures with the beautiful bride, the super sweet ceremony and fabulous reception complete with yummy food and a fun band! It was a perfect day! Here are some pictures from the wedding day.





It was a great weekend filled with lots of love. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Owens!

As some of you know, my grandmother is in the hospital at UMC. Robert and I headed to visit her when we got up Sunday morning. My GPS had a mind of it's own and was taking us to UMC at LSU! We didn't even realize until we crossed the LA state line. I guess we should have paid more attention but at least we have a good story. Four hours later, we made it to visit MaGrace. Thanks to everyone who is praying for her. She is much better, but unfortunately, must have dialysis 3 times a week forever. She should be getting out of the hospital this week. Continue praying that she keeps her strength up.

October has pretty much exhausted me. I've had something to do ever single weekend. Hopefully, November will give me a much needed break. Robert is working every weekend this month because he has clinicals every weekday. Pray we make it to December!
