M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I

The day after we got there Tj's family had a reception for us. I got to meet most of his family there, we had so much fun!





I crossed FOUR states off of my bucket list!!


Louisiana

Georgia

Alabama

And Minnesota!

We had such an amazing time with family and did so many fun things!! We went to a gator farm...





We went with Tommy, Brittany and Jadyn to the farm. It was so neat! We rode on an airboat and saw a couple gators! :)

The next morning Tj and I went to New Orleans!! He woke me up SOOOO early so that we could get to Cafe Du Monde really early and get fresh beignet's (like a french doughnut) They were so nummy! We crossed over to Bourbon street and then headed to the aquarium and zoo.

 Cafe Du Monde!
 My handsome husband

 Bourbon Street

Of course I HAD to buy beads :)
There were beads hanging everywhere!
 The Audubon Aquarium was so neat and a nice break out of the heat of New Orleans

Tj has to pick everybody's nose... haha

At the aquarium the camera started to die...and it was totally Tj's fault we left the charger in Nevada! No, really it was. So the rest of the pictures from our trip I had to take with my cell phone. Bare with me.

 My sandals were giving me blisters...so we went into the gift shop to grab some new shoes for me...these bad boys are what we ended up with! They were sooo soft and fluffy :) a few people stopped and told me "those look comfortable!" and yes, they were!


 Totally peeing in the fountain ;)
 haha I just love our silly marriage!
We had so much fun at the zoo!

We spent the fourth of July at Ronnie and Tab's house! They cooked some amazing food!

 Happy Fourth!
Ronnie cooked Alligator! It surprisingly was pretty good!



Tj and I went down one afternoon and spent a few hours at the beach. The water was all muddy, but as warm as a bath! We had so much fun laughing and swimming in the water!

What a fabulous trip we had. Tj's family was so sweet and welcoming to me, I felt like part of the family right off the bat! We cannot wait to go back and visit everybody again. I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pics from the trip (as if I haven't posted enough!)
