melissa, "movie stars" and marriage

Melissa came to visit! i had every intention of making her take a picture in my -amazing- lsu snuggie, but time escaped us. very quickly. the trip was too short! come back!

do you know who this is? (he's on true blood--a vampire show based in louisiana)

or this? (he's yemi on lost)
him? (hehe! paris hilton movie the hottie and the nottie!)

no? i didn't either. but that still didn't make me any less excited that we met them (we being melissa, risa, ashleigh, lauren, and lacie). true blood? lost? csi? comeon. it made for a very exciting bachelorette party for my new sistie who is getting married in about 20 days! yay!

the first one pictured (jim parrack) was a really nice guy. he gave risa some marriage advice that i really appreciated. he said that even though it's sometimes hard to imagine the kind of intense commitment that comes along with marriage, it's worth it. you can have 100 of the exact same 1 experience with 100 different people... or you can broaden your life by having 100 different experiences with 1 person. he's married and says he is sure he made the right choice.

it was very ironic, that advice he gave that night. i... have a hard time understanding cheating on a spouse. i'm not being naive. i'm not saying i don't understand how it -could- happen... i'm just saying that i don't understand how you could forget your spouse like that. forget their feelings. forget your vows. forget how much you've already been through together. i think i brought charlie up to every person i talked to that night. i even offended someone by showing them my ring after a compliment. maybe i was just being overly-careful because of what i was seeing all around me.

i'm very happy to know i'm married to a man who is as committed to me and our marriage as i am.

  3. We still aren't watching Lost until it's completely done. Thataway instead of anticipating one episode a week, we can watch all 14 seasons nonstop and miss work and fail out of school and forget to cook dinner for each other and end up like romeo and juliet except the ending is much more violent and less boring and unlike the ending of romeo and juliet

    and Pernky has to pay the rest of our credit card bills after we are dead.

My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
