The Big Easy

What a day! I feel like we've been non-stop since 8 this morning. We woke up to banging on our apartment door early this morning. Nate stumbled out of bed (we we're, of course, snoozin'!) and got to the door after what seemed like 5 minutes of constant banging and door bell ringing. Alas, it was the police claiming someone had called about gun shots and a body hitting the floor (!!!!!!WHAT!!!!) and wanted to know if we knew anything about it. WHAT? Norfolk, you crazy.  A beautiful start to our day.  I had class soon after that. Got into a verbal tussle with the parking garage attendant. Let's not go there. We trekked all the way out to Virginia Beach to go to Trader Joe's. Why, Ghent, why do you have no Trader Joe's yet Virginia Beach does? Give us a TJ's! We got some goodies + the unbelievable Charles Shaw wine that my friend Kelsie introduced me to. $3.29 bottle of delicious wine? Yes, please. We trekked all the way back to downtown, Norfolk to meet my parents for dinner at The Big Easy. It was so yummy!! I got the honey BBQ chicken. Nate got meatloaf! We split the bourbon bread pudding for dessert. I'm stuffed as can be right now.  Somewhere in between all these errands we stopped by Nate's parent's house.  Let me introduce you to Maisie; their cute as heck yellow lab!

We want a dog so bad! One day. We want to be very very financially sound when we take that leap. I'd also love to be done with school so I have more time to devote to her. We've picked out names already, though. We will treat this pup like a child, I'm telling you. Nate is partial to labs because he grew up with that breed. I like labradoodles! We'll see.
