So, I went to the Saints Monday night football game last night. It was quite exciting, except for the fact that we lost! Still fun, none the less.
I stayed at my house in Baton Rouge all weekend. The more I stay there the more I think I'm going to sell it. I love the house but there is a huge void there that's never going to go away. Waking up in that house is pretty rough too. Every morning is hard, but waking up in that house is the worst. All signs point to moving. Now I just need to get motivated, and start fixing the place up and packing. Yuck. I did get to hang out with Andy, Rob and Chris while I was there though and that was fun.

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. A bunch of us are going to spend the weekend in New Orleans. Brian and Amy are coming down from Colorado to meet Jacob, Rob, Chris, Lucas, Kerry, Andy and myself in New Orleans. On Saturday we have appointments to get tattoos. Yes, tattoos! The majority of us are getting the same tattoo...something to represent Shane. Those of you who knew him well, knew he wanted tattoos...and lots of them. He never got the chance to get one b/c of blood count issues due to chemo treatments. We thought alot about what to get and I dug through some of his sketchbooks. I found a drawing he did quite often. I showed it to Brian and he said that Shane told him that was something he wanted to get for himself. That sealed the deal and so that's what we are getting. Its a spiral symbol that sort of resembles a sun. A mix of his whole obsession with the "golden section" and his Cherokee heritage. Brian sent it to the tattoo artists ahead of time so we'll see what they come up with. I've always wanted a tattoo but couldn't think of anything I'd want to put on my body permanently until now. I'm very excited and I'll be sure to take lots of pictures!
After the tattoos, we'll be watching LSU hopefully destroy Florida, then on Sunday we all have tickets to the Saints/Raiders game. Should be a fun filled weekend.
