Here is the blog that everyone has been waiting for!! LOL I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE RIDING!!!!! IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE!!! I have always wanted to be one of those ladies up on the floats!! And this year I finally was!!! I can't explain how great it feels to fulfill one of my biggest dreams!! I'm still crying tears of joy!!!!! I have to give a big THANKS to my fellow krewe members!!! Ya'll are the greatest!! Ya'll took such great care of me and made me feel like I am truly family!!! I can't wait for next year!!!!
Riding around all day before the parade was great!! We drank, partied, laughed and danced!! We waved and screamed at anyone and everyone we saw!! I thought how could anything be any more fun!!
But I soon learned what it was all about!! I will never forget the moment as we turned onto park and the parade started!! As we turned and I saw and HEARD the crowd I was so overwhelmed that all I could do was stand there for a sec and take it all in!!! The people and sounds were amazing. I'd never heard anything so load (well until I got in front of the post office THANKS debona)
Seeing my Mom, Victoria, Lexi, April, KC, Tiffany, Karl, Sabrina and Skyi were my best moments!! Sharing my joy and seeing theirs was perfection!!! There is nothing better than leaning over and handing your child and godchild something special!!
Something inside me finally clicked that nite!! All I have to do now when things get rough is think of the feeling I get from riding!!! I really wish I could put into words how amazing it all is!! All I can say is if there is something that you've always wanted to do!! THEN GO OUT AND DO IT!!!! DON'T EVER LET ANYTHING STAND IN YOUR WAY!! CAUSE THE FEELINGS THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU FINALLY GET TO DO IT IS MOVING!! I am forever changed!!
