When this picture was snapped in 2008, I had no clue that a couple years later, I’d pack up my life in Louisiana and follow this handsome face to Greenville, South Carolina then Apollo Beach, Florida. This was my future husband and I's first date, a crisp Sunday night exploring Bourbon Street. A little live music and a lot of wine, it was our “happily ever after” in the making! A few years and a couple of kids later, trips home to New Orleans bring a wealth of excitement. Celebrating the holidays with family, sharing old favorites like City Park and sno-balls, and relishing in all that is New Orleans is even more special now that I can share that with my husband and girls. There’s no place like NOLA, and it will forever be our home and where our relationship began!
