Updated Bucket List 7.8.12 (one day late)

Here is what we have been up to the past week!

My bucket list progress...

• I was blogging this week... this is what God is teaching me and a post about my amazing car.

• We watched Downton Abby... seriously, all of it.  One, because it is addicting.  Two, because Andrew has been sick and that is what we have been watching as he recovers!

• We celebrated the 4th of July... by seeing fireworks and having a hotdog competition (not to be mistake n with a hotdog eating competition).  Each person who wanted to made their own hotdog creations.  Andrew and I did not make one, but we were the judges... and I can honestly say I have never eaten such delicious hotdogs in my life!

some of the Luling fireworks...

amazing "corndogs"  thank you jen... these were so good!

Muffaletta dogs... yummmm...

Chili mac n' cheese dogs... mmmm :)

Katie, Becky and Lorraine enjoying the winning hotdogs!

• We celebrated 2 years in NOLA, by eating at Dat Dog.  I have come to realize this was a big week for hotdogs... and I don't even like hotdogs that much!

• I went to the lake with two dear friends, Ally and Jes... I will make a post later about how AMAZING our time was, but for now here are some pics!

• Oh yea.. I made more red beans and rice than I meant to... it tastes amazing, but our apartment still smells like it!  Speaking of, any advise on how to get rid of the smell???
