4th of July weekend and other things in our lives

So I realize I am REALLY bad at keeping this updated. I'm really much better with Facebook. BUT, I will try to remember to keep posting!

Well, our big news is that we went to visit my sister in the New Orleans area for my 30th birthday last month and we FELL IN LOVE. SO, right now we're working on finding jobs and a place to live in Slidell, LA. Jeremy is working closely with a placement agency and we have both put out resumes out to a bunch of different places. Jeremy has already applied and paid for his license to practice in Louisiana, so we'll see when this happens! It's been a long and exhausting month, but we figure that it'll be so worth it to be in a new place that we both really love! Jeremy will get his pine trees and I get to keep my heat, what more can we ask for?! I have a ton of pictures from that trip, so I'll try to ad a slideshow on here again (just need to remember how to do that!)

Last weekend was the 4th of July and we met up with our friends, the Medders, and their kids to enjoy the fireworks show at Pickerell Park in Schertz. We just camped out for a few hours before enjoying the spectacular show! It was really great and not so crowded like it would've been in the city. (Below are some pictures from that evening)

Now we're just gearing up for Jaden's 2nd birthday on Monday, complete with happy face birthday cake made by Mommy! This could be interesting! Stay tuned for pictures (and I promise I will share them!)
