Lawman

Steven Seagal has a new reality show on A&E called Lawman and it is my new favorite show. Micky and I used to work for the Jefferson Parish Sheriffs office and we know some of the cops on the show with him. I worked with one of the deputies that's a regular on the show. When the show is on we try to figure out what street they are driving on. We try to recognize who they are talking to and if we know anybody. The show is mostly real except for the special effects that make it seem like Seagal has special vision, where he can see things that the normal human can't. Mostly I am glad not to be living in Jefferson Parish anymore because of the crime rate and the heat. You can see the sweat just beading off of their foreheads, and not to mention they are all out of shape. In the last two episodes they haven't caught anyone on foot. Overall it is a pretty cool show and hope people check it out. Working for JPSO was one of the most interesting, easiest, and the funniest place I have ever worked at. While on vacation I hope to go there and visit some people that still work there.

House

After an intense couple of days, fighting over some WINDOWS that the seller didn't want to repair, we have won. Yes I said, "windows" they were willing to let the house go back on the market and pay another mortgage payment rather than spend 300 dollars and repair a window. Hopefully we don't have anymore problems and this house will be ours by next week. I am going full speed ahead on packing and cleaning base housing. I just wish we could have some nice weather so I can finish the yard.
I just got my new Ikea catalog and I am making my list. My favorite reason for going to Concord, is shopping at Ikea and Mick's is Bass Pro Shop. Below are some more pictures of the rest of the house.

Syd's room she always gets the best window in the house.

Brody's room

the previous owners had a Harley Davidson theme.

They left an awesome fan,

he also has a nice closet.

Mustang Progress

Mick has been busy trying to get his car back to running condition. He's painted the motor,
cleaned out the engine bay and yesterday he had a new windshield installed. He still has a long way to go but he is optimistic that it will be up and running by March. Keep watching for more progress pics.

New Home

I love watching the show "House Hunters" on HGTV but I don't like house hunting myself. Last weekend after three excruciating hours we found the house that we are going to buy. We only looked at four houses. What can I say, we know what we want when we see it. Only thing is we are going to be signing the paperwork the day before we go on vacation --bummer. We won't be able to move in until after Christmas and we are so anxious to get in. So far this has been a painless procedure and we are still waiting on the appraisal but I think everything will be fine. Just keeping my fingers crossed, below are some pictures I took during the inspection.

We can't wait until Summer when we can get in the pool and hang out on the deck.

Mick and I fell in love with the house as soon as we entered the kitchen, I love the updates they did on the tile floors and counters. The colors are a little bold but I might keep them.

This living room is going to be a challenge because the wall space is limited. Furniture placement is going to be hard.

This dinning room doesn't have a lot of wall space either. But, since it is going to be used as an office I don't think we will need it.

Living room has a nice view of the pool and deck.

Dowtown Wilmington

Last Sunday we took a ride to Wilmington, we thought it would be the last nice day, until spring. Although, we have been to Wilmington several times this was the first time we've been downtown. It was so beautiful all the old buildings and Spanish moss made it felt like I was back home.

This is the corner of Water St and Market.

This picture was taken at the Cotton Exchange a refurbished area that is now full of shops and restaurants.

For lunch we ate at Paddys Hallow, it was really Yummy.

We sat on the deck outside and took in all the nice warm weather.

perfect place to eat with a messy little boy. I thought it was funny that on their menu they had shrimp po-boys with cheddar cheese. And they were playing Zydeco music and Fats Domino like I said, it felt like home.

Brody was trying to get water out of here but it didn't work.

Wilmington NC

These are pictures were taken on Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington. I love going to the beach not so much for swimming but for walking and looking for shells. After a nice day downtown we decided to take a stroll on the beach with the kids but, they didn't feel much like swimming. The water was pretty cold after all it's November.

This was a good picture except we were facing the sun and I should have worn my sun glasses.

I really love this picture I took of Sydney. I am definitely going to frame this one.

And this was pretty good too, considering he can't stand still.

Besides being on the look out for sharks ( he saw Jaws this summer), he loves to throw every single rock back into the ocean.

I just love baby feet!!!

Before we know it she will be as tall as her daddy!!!!

What a great day we had.
