What's taking so long?

OK, so I have been falling behind on my posting and for that I apologize. I didn't know how much I post from my phone until I couldn't anymore. Because I have used all my photo space on blogger...anyway I am going to try to get better at that. That being said I have a few things that have happened over the past week or so that I want to share. First off:



In case you haven't heard (are you living in a cave? and if so how is it that you are reading this?) The Saints won the Superbowl!!! We have been paying attention to the Saints since we moved here, watching games off and on but this season we started watching all the games form the beginning and of course we were watching on Sunday. It was absolutely amazing the odds were stacked against them but we all had faith and they pulled it off. Actually they did better than that they actually owned the game in the second half. As soon as they won the game there were fireworks flying overhead and horns honking. The police were driving through the streets with their lights on just for the heck of it. People were yelling and screaming from our house we could hear people shouting Who Dat and music playing. Everyone was in such a good mood, my Mom and cousin Brenda were up for the weekend so Scott and I were able to take a walk to see what was going on after the game. We walked for about half an hour mostly non stop into the Quarter to Jackson Square then back to the house. There were people everywhere, pouring out of houses, hotels and bars. There were so many people in the streets police were taking it upon themselves to close the streets and direct traffic around. It's a great place and time when the people on the streets partying take precedent over the cars driving on them. On one street there wasn't anywhere to redirect the traffic so the drivers just got out of their cars and started dancing in the street with everyone else. People pulled out their instruments and started playing wonderful jam session renditions of When The Saints Go Marching In. As we walked farther into the Quarter the people started piling up, we were shoulder to shoulder with artsy hipsters and buff jocks, dirty circus kids and suited up couples, they were from Uptown and the Treme, the Quarter and Midcity and the Burbs too. straight and gay and every color in between. Truly a great thing to be a part of. Follow this link then click the play button to hear music Scott recorded while we were out on our after Superbowl walk.
