After 5 years in New York City, I'm back in the sunshine state, excited to see how the next chapter of my life unfolds. Inspired by my friends, the journalist in me couldn't resist a chance to share what God is doing in my life, family, friends, church, city and generation. I'd love to invite you along on my journey as we fulfill the purposes of God together.

First of Many Firsts
Since we can't seem to do anything conventional, we finally managed our first real date a week after getting engaged. It may seem like no biggie but when you've been waiting 11 years for your first date, it's a little bit of a deal. I came out my door to a single rose but no Nick. As I walked down the stairs, I saw him, just like "Pretty Woman", where she walks down the stairs to meet her prince. I'm no Julia Roberts but he's way cuter then Richard Gere! (Not that our story is like theirs but you get the point.) Since we weren't done talking as the restaurant closed down, we ended up at PJ's and took a picture just for Gina. New York isn't the only place for good coffee!
You have no idea how excited I am about PJ's. That is my fave coffee (did you see my blog remarks about wishing NY had PJ's?).
In true Cajun tradition, I will have to introduce Sable to her first taste of real joe, cafe au lait style in the bottle...one more reason to look forward to visiting in Oct.
"The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best, know the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt
