Southern Louisiana

This week I drove down to Slidell, Louisiana to visit my mother’s side of the family.  Slidell is just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans (roughly 25-35 mins away from New Orleans).  It was nice to see my family.  It had been around three years since the last time I had saw them.  We did a lot of sight-seeing.  Honestly though, the best part was just getting to chat with all them.  Also, it was great to escape the crazy weather Texas has been having.  My Aunt told me a lot of stories about my mother, which was wonderful.  Today is the five year anniversary of her passing, so it felt nice to feel more connected with her.  I even got to see her high school.  Well here are some photos from the trip.
(I still haven’t quite gotten the hang of photography in overcast weather.  I sure would like to take a photography class).

2025 was a year of investing in myself: physically, financially, creatively, and career-wise. I became a gym regular, a birder, and a full participant in DFW rush hour traffic! Grateful for the foundations laid this year and excited for everything 2026 has in store!! Here’s to a new year πŸ₯‚#newyear #yearrecap

A little Christmas-time recap: breaking ground on a project I helped bring to life, Christmas with the Fluty family at Lakepointe, a festive Frisco adventure, a pickleball Christmas party, gingerbread houses for a good cause, and antique shopping in Jefferson πŸŽ„πŸŽ„

Had the absolute best staycation! πŸ₯° John surprised me with Dua Lipa tickets (and she brought out the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders β€” literal dream 😍). We stayed at The Statler, cruised around in a Mercedes AMG 43 convertible, played with pumpkins at the Arboretum, and even had dinner at a haunted castle! πŸŽƒ Wrapped it all up jamming to The Life of a Showgirl with my Swiftie in crime @just.lilliaa 10/10 way to kick off October!
