Living In Louisiana

Sorry I haven't posted much, but I decided to post a blog about the differences from Texas good & bad observations I've made so far, it's not to say that all people or all things I've observed are true, and I say all these very light heartedly and jokingly.

1. The roads and engineering of roads here really suck, I always get lost!

2. The people here talk, a LOT more than normal people and they chatter on and on with their accents, A Texan conversation would take 2 minutes to get their point across versus a Louisiana conversation which would take 2 hours. They are very friendly people

3. Everything ends in with 'eaux'.

4. It's very old, pretty, swampy and mossy, and it has a lot 0f plantation houses.

5. Probably all the old guys are masons.

6. Everyone has an 'LSU' sticker on their vehicle.

7. Small trucks are popular here instead of really big trucks like in Texas.

8. The trees are ten times bigger here, and they are much much prettier.

9. Everyone loves cajun food, gator, grawfish, gumbo, and salt and spice, etc. etc.

10. You sort of feel like an outsider here, not cause their not friendly but because you look and dress nothing like anyone that lives here!!!

11. I have never gotten carded in the uncountable times I've ordered a cocktail at a restaurant or bought alcohol here, versus I would have been carded 30 times by now in Texas, its pretty cool!

12. Everyone here seems to smoke.

13. No one cares what time you start drinkin'. hehehe.

14. It has a whole lotta different kind of history here.

15. There's ALWAYS some kind of festival or something going on!!!


I'm just so happy to be onto another chapter of life. The flight school kind of tried to jip us and we up and left to go to this one, which takes at least a year less to complete. Parker's already earned his private helicopter license, just two more to go!!! I'm pretty excited about everything. I even already found my favorite restaurant here, Bojangles Sushi bar. It's sooo awesome! I love their sushi, and Louisiana is just so much prettier than BRUCEVILLE. Not even a comparison!
