We had our final travel conference call yesterday, bought princess bedding and little bitty socks....I think we are ready for a plane ride. Corbin says it will take about 45 minutes to get there. I love him!!!

Brief Itinerary:
Today was Brian's last day of work until JANUARY 30th!!! I'm so excited! Grandma cooked gumbo, Allison made brownies, I thawed the red velvet cake gifted to us by Carter Benton, and cooked some Japanese rice to go with it(:  ONLY in Louisiana. Celebrate tonight and then complete all continuing ed. for nursing license just in case I ever want to escape back to labor and delivery. It's due Jan. 1st. I've only had a year to complete it. Kinda been busy...

Tomorrow Allison thinks she needs to visit the Warrens and their beautiful babies just home from China. Onto the Fowlkes for more gumbo and fellowship with great friends.
