Last weekend I took a trip to Lake Charles, Louisiana with Kirby, Danielle, and Kyle. Danielle and Kyle are going to grad school in Lake Charles, and they are planning on buying a house since they will be there for at least three years. Kirby and I are tagging along because we generally go with the flow (also, Danielle and Kyle are two of the coolest cats we know). While in Lake Charles, we looked at a few houses and may or may not have found the perfect one. We discovered a restaurant with tasty vegetarian options. We also hung out with some pretty cool people who will be in grad school with Danielle and Kyle. Sometimes my judgmental nature makes meeting new people rather unpleasant, but I had low expectations and ended up being pleasantly surprised (I have a feeling that entire sentence makes me seem like a real turd, and maybe I am). After Lake Charles, we drove to Houma to see our friends who live there and some who don’t. We also saw three great bands from Mississippi(The Devil You And Me, Cicadas, and The Jarheads )play at our friends’ bar, The Boxer & the Barrel, on Saturday. Sunday we met my sister, Erika, and her boyfriend, Morgan, for pizza in New Orleans. Afterward, we hung out with our friends Jason and Bena for a minute before returning to Mississippi.
Overall, I’d say our weekend ended up being a success. I brought my camera and intended to take so many pictures, but I failed miserably. I ended up taking more pictures with my cheesy hipstamatic app than I did with my actual camera. How lame am I?
Kyle is incapable of smiling for a picture, and Danielle was creepin'.
Selena may be shocked and/or amazed by what Nikki has just said.
I am a big fan of sunflowers, and this was one big sunflower. Kirby said that I ruined this picture by making that face, but I think that I may have saved it.
I have a handsome boyfriend.
I have the most beautiful sisters in the world.
Selena is putting the bang back in bangs. By that, I mean she looks hott with an extra T.
Danielle and I had an impromptu photo shoot in the bar bathroom. This is one of the gems.
