So we got back this past weekend from a week vacation in the Dominican Republic!!! One word for it FABULOUS!!! It was so relaxing. We had a great time. Most of the time we layed out on the beach and on the beach beds, we hung out by the pool some too!! It is one of the prettiest countries I have been too!!! Our resort was excellent!! We did one excursion to Saona Island (a small island off the coast of DR) It was absolutely beautiful!! The people there are so nice too!!!! I loved it and hope to return soon!!

Eye Doctor and Forever Friends Banquet!!
Well, we went to the eye doctor on Tuesday!! My vision is worse, but I knew that because I could tell that I couldn't see as good. So I got some new glasses and they are really cute (they are Gucci!!) I also got those one day disposable contacts too. I don't wear them much so i figured I would just get those since I only wear contacts like maybe 2-3 times a month. Tuesday I also had the forever friends banquet. And for those of you who don't know what that is, it is a mentoring program in the city of Longview. So I am a mentor to a girl that is in the 9th grade in the Pine Tree school district. The mentoring program is for children that have close relatives in jail, have been in an abusive family, or that live in poverty. So we have a group that meets every wednesday for about 45 minutes. Their are 9 mentors and mentees. We have a really good time and talk about a lot of life issues. They are all great girls. We do 1-2 community service projects a year. We also do things outside of group meetings too. This past Tuesday was our end of the year banquet. So I took my mentee to the banquet and it was great. We had a really good time and the theme was too cute!! It was "The Heart of a Princess" and they all got tiaras. This is the end of my seceond year participating in this program.

Crawfish Palace!!!
Friday night we went and saw "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"!! It was hilarious!! Saturday night we went to Shreveport with Ben and Deena. We went to Crawfish Palace for supper!! This was our first time so I was like this is it??? It was like we were in a movie or something! It was a little wooden shack screened in. So of course no air conditioner and the bathrooms were outside in the middle of the dirt parking lot!!! So the guys got crawfish and the girls got shrimp. I do have to say that those were the best boiled shrimp that I have ever had!!! Next time we visit the crawfish palace I will definitely not be dressing up!! Ben didn't let any of us know that this was a old jean and favorite t-shirt place!!! Then we went to the boardwalk and walked around. Sunday we went to trade days. There was a tornado that touched down in Canton last Friday and we saw on TV that there were some things damaged at trade days but on Sunday we didn't see any damage. That is our weekend wrap-up!!!
