Today marks the last day before the Lenten season begins. I'm pretty excited about Lent this year because I'll be joining up with others from Baton Rouge to do work in our community and meet in small groups to encourage our own growth in the Lord and spirituality. I don't think I'll be able to make the first meeting, though, and that's pretty bummy :(
Will you be giving anything up for Lent? Or adding anything in to your day-to-day life to encourage your faith? I'd love to hear. :)
Below are pictures from this weekend where I visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras for the first time in my life. We stuck to tame parades and I had a total blast. SO much fun. You should definitely go next year :)
Matt & I at the piano bar in Pat O'Brien's - my new favorite thing
note: hurricanes are both delicious and dizzying; cannot wait to have another
Maroon 5 in Endymion on Saturday evening. So cold. So rainy. SO fun.
Matt and I waiting for Maroon 5 to go by, and laughing at Ellen being crazy with the camera
Ellen and I after Endymion, showing off our goodies. Yes, that is a light-up sword.
IT. WAS. AWESOME.
My pretty beads from Endymion :) (here I'm choosing which ones to wear for Sunday's parade-tastic day, including Bacchus!)
Me and Allison! I literally only saw her for five minutes. But aren't these pictures just gorgeous?? I love them.
Will Ferrell as the King of Bacchus! So much awesome.
Have a wonderful Fat Tuesday, friends. Enjoy the things you'll be giving up while you can! :)
xoxo
