As the state continues to lose jobs more than ANY other state in the country, Edwards is content to watch Louisiana fall apart under his watch.
I can't stand this guy and would gladly trade him for someone's pet cocker spaniel.
My sister got married next. It was a wedding were the night before I tried to get my sister to cry by telling her a very sweet story of us during her childhood. Not a drop of water was given.
Right after me, my brother Bray went. He choked up at the very start and my sister started balling.
If I'd have known it was that easy I'd have gone that route!!
But all in all, it was another good wedding. Again, I don't have any photo's from the wedding which is strange. I'll have to grab some from her next time I think of it.
Have a good weekend folks!
My little brother Caleb put me in his wedding. It was out on a farm I think and the whole thing was wonderful. I can't find any pictures, only video which I took and posted at the time of his wedding. But I remember it was one of the first times we'd seen Jordan in a while since he came in for it.
I also had all the brothers over that morning for monster cereal breakfast. Where we all ate the various versions of Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute.
Good times!
My buddy CeJay was married next and I'll never forget it because were had to wear these neon orange shoes (which I still have today) Not sure what that was about but this reception was another good one as well. It was in a place around town I've never seen anyone else host before. Really nice building too.
Again, no pictures for this wedding. Just neon orange shoes....
My friend Kat got married to another fast friend of mine Tim and I was asked to be in the wedding.
I say "fast friend" because we literally became friends over the course of the week and by the end of the week, he'd asked me to be in his wedding. I was pumped!
We still keep in touch today and I see him and Kat whenever they make it into town every other holiday year it seems.
Wild to think they have teenagers now. I still see the both of them as being 20!
I was so happy to be a part of it. They moved away shortly after and I still see them over the holidays each year when they visit but it was special to be a part of both their lives this way.
The reception was a lot of fun too as I was hamming it up the whole time for the cameras.
Guess even he knows the vaccination is pointless.
I can't wait to get this guy out of office.
You'd think I'd have pictures from my cousin's wedding but I don't. Thomas' wedding has one of the greatest stories of all because it's the one and only time I witnessed someone pass out at a wedding.
My brother Caleb.
The funny thing was after he passed out, a few minutes later he got back up like it was nothing and started singing the hymn with everyone.
I couldn't stop laughing the whole ceremony.
I really need to ask him to share that picture of where Dad and I are looking at each other after the vows and are doubled over laughing over it.
Good times!
I pray the Supreme Court overturns this, but I don't believe they have the spine to do so.
They decide instead to have "quiet time" alone in their homes, which really means "I don't like feeling guiltily of my sins, so I'll act like I'm perfect, never make mistakes and don't need to held to a standard that shows a true love and devotion to Christ"
They are fools walking around naked as in the Emperor's New Clothes and everyone is shaking their heads as they walk by totally aloof to their insanity of "reason"
And THIS is who people thought would be a better choice than Trump?!?
This guy is shooting himself in the foot every time his mouth opens.
Bumbling dolt for a President. It's embarrassing us on a global scale.
One of the most wicked Americans in the country.
Sounds like they don't trust their vaccine that much do they?
Screw all the haters who think everyone should be vaccinated. It's a choice. Deal with it.
All this hate and discrimination against non-vaccinated people is dumb. IT DOESN'T MATTER people! It's what the CDC is saying this whole time! They only want you to be an obedient little monkey and dance to their tune.
Jon Amos. Another wedding with no pictures I have from. But that was a good one too. I remember when they two started dating, I wasn't sure it would work out at first. Thankfully it did and I was in the wedding.
This was the first time I think I knew the groom just as well as the bride, since Hollie and I had been good friends prior to the two of them being a thing.
In fact, she may have wanted me in the wedding more because we were such close friends!
For a while they're oldest son was joining us for game night which is wild to think about but I enjoyed. It made for an excellent time to recall past stories of his Dad. (though I don't know how many I was allowed to tell)
So many weddings without pictures. Maybe I should ask the grooms if they can send me any of them?
The next one (to my memory) might have been also in Texarkana. My friend Jake was getting married and we had a best bachelor's party EVER. It was a week long cruise.
I STILL talk about this cruise today. We laughed so hard the entire time, I literally had a pain in my side and tears in my eyes several times.
This is the only picture I could find right now but I know I have several more on the cruise. That's me eating snails for the first time. Yummy!
My buddy Chris from Texarkana was next in line to be wed. This was the first (but not last time) I'd be in a wedding in Texarkana.
I remember this one came shortly after Tony's because I shared a story with him about the groom grabbing the bride's butt during the family photo and watching her face change into that "O" look right as the picture was taken.
To her embarrassment, when asked why she cried out she didn't want to say.
Chris thought it was so funny he did the same exact thing and got the same result! I remember thinking that this could be the beginning of a new tradition at wedding I attended. However the next groom in line to be wed wisely ignored my advice.
The next wedding was the one for my friends Kim and Tony. Though I don't have pictures to share for this one, I remember joking that they'd probably be late for their own wedding since they both had a tendency to be late for everything.
Sure enough....the wedding started an hour late. And it was a bad thing too because it was outside in a Louisiana summer and people was dying outside from the heat.
The best thing about this wedding was a prank I pulled on them that was 6 months in the waiting. Kim had a stuffed pink poodle called "Fifi" that I'd taken out of her room a while back.
A bridesmaid and I decided to put Fifi in a wedding dress (which was hard to find because Build a Bear didn't exist back then) and present her at the wedding next to the cake.
It was great.
The wedding party lasted until 2am. I didn't get to bed until 3am, had to wake up at 5am for my flight back the next day.
But BOY was it something. Not a single person left until the very end either. I've never seen anything like it before.
I tried to get him in my wedding but he couldn't get off for it. I don't speak to him anymore and I hate that but I'm super happy for his success and wish him the best!
The next wedding (I think) was my brother Bray's.
Oddly enough I don't think I have a picture of it but I remember it was outside and the sun was in my eyes the entire ceremony. It was also the time when I packed a shirt I hadn't worn in a while only to realize I'd grown out of it by that time.
Bummer.
And Mom wouldn't let me wear my shade for the wedding even though I had the PERFECT excuse!!
Oh well. Short story is, my sister-in-law said "Yes" and I lost a $20 bet with my brother in the end.
Kidding.
But after the wedding that night my brother and I had to clean off the decorations from the wedding vehicle they drove away in because it was a rental and Dad didn't want to be charged extra to clean it.
It was DEAD COLD that night and the water kept freezing the moment it hit the car. It was TERRIBLE. My first time up in Idaho and it was during the winter. I hated it.
But the wedding as is, was a good time.
Roger Carter!!!
My other roommate who was quickly wed after Bruce. I actually don't remember much of the wedding but I remember what he gave me as a groomsman's gift. I got a little golden hammer that unscrews into multiple types of screwdrivers hidden within.
I STILL use that tool today more than any other! Probably one of the best gift's I've ever received for being in a wedding.
Now this is where I get confused as to which ones came next and in what order. But here goes:
Bruce was a roommate of mine (and good friend still today) who got married back when I was still in college. So I'm pretty sure his was next.
I remember his first apartment they were going to move in to. In fact, Bruce holds the record for how many times I've helped someone move, 7. The last time was the most rewarding because that's when I found Yub Nub and claimed him as payment for helping him move.
He's been with me ever since.
Now I'm like "They're getting married?! How young are those kids!?"
But it was my buddy Patrick's wedding and I remember having to work late and join them in Jackson later that evening only to find out, there was no place for me to stay at the hotel so I had to sleep on the floor in someone's room. No pillow, no covers....it was a very rough night.
The second wedding I was in was with my brother Jeremy. It was for our Aunt and Uncle. I remember not liking the outfits we had to wear at all for it.
It took place right outside my grandparents house and Dad did the ceremony. Other than that, I can't think of anything else that significant about it.
Again, there's a picture of me in the wedding at my grandmother's house but I've never taken a picture of it myself because I always thought it would be there.
With my grandmother in a nursing home now, I need to make an effort to get back over there and snap a few of the pics she has of us hanging on her wall.
We were 19th in church attendance but still, being #1 on both previous categories is really something to be proud of....for once Monroe is #1 in something other than highest crime rate per captia!
Of course the first one I want to talk about was the one I was in. It feels weird to know it happened in our old church we left 3 years ago.
I never think about that church ever. I hated how packed it had gotten towards the end but my wife and I loved the sunrise service. And even though it's the place I got married, I don't miss it at all or think of the building as "special"
His poor handling of COVID ruined our economy.
What a complete bozo.
It's a solid film that runs in the same vein as Wick, with lots of fun action and a good story. In fact, it's from the same writer so it doesn't surprise me. It has that feel.
Well worth your time if you haven't seen it already.
