Beignets Anyone?

So, today Nicole and I finally got to meet each other in person. We met through Mrs. Rue's Real Life blog and have been emailing for a while. Well, Nicole and her family are on vacation and they're currently staying an hour and a half away from my house. Anyway, it all worked out for us to be able to see each other! So this afternoon, we met up for beignets, conversation, and fun. :) We had a great time. We pretty much just sat (and stood - right, Nicole?) around and talked. Nicole's dad and brothers spent a good portion of the time outside with my three younger siblings. They were playing frisbee and football in the parking lot. And, as far as I could tell, they all had a great time out there. Our moms stayed inside chatting with my sister while Nicole and I walked around aimlessly before finally sitting down at one of the outdoor tables. The beignets were delicious and the company fantastic. All in all, I'd say it was a fabulous day! :)

Love this picture!

We thoroughly enjoyed our snack! :)

The Versatile Blogger Award

Okay, first off, I must apologize to you all for not updating my blog for 21 weeks. *GASP* I know! Sorry! But you can all thank Nicole (forgivenmess.blogspot.com) for awarding me with a blogger award...because if she didn't I really don't know if I ever would've even thought of posting here anytime soon.

Well, on with the show!

 
  1. Thank the person who awarded you.
  2. List seven random things about yourself.
  3. Award 15 others with this award.

Thank you so, so much, Nicole!! :) Like I already said, if you hadn't awarded me, I probably won't be posting on here now. Haha

And now... seven random things:
  1. I just recently turned 18 but apparently I look a lot younger... Customers at work ask me ALL the time how old I am. My favorite is: "Are you even old enough to work here?" I so want to tell them (with a straight face), "No, I'm breaking the law. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
  2. I'm a Team Trainer at Chick-fil-A.
  3. My family has two dogs - a Yorkshire Terrier named Snickers and a Rat Terrier/ Chihuahua mix named CeCe.
  4. I'm the third out of six kids.
  5. I quote "Pride and Prejudice" quite regularly.
  6. My favorite TV shows are "I Love Lucy," "The Dick Van Dyke Show," and "The Big Valley." (All older shows but my favorites nonetheless!)
  7. I am horrible at keeping up with a blog (but I think you kind of figured that out already...)

I award...
