The phrase "look what the cat dragged in" could be appropriately used right at this moment.
I'm like a cat in many ways as I have an abundant amount of lives when it comes to my relationship. I make selfish choices, I get caught up and I hurt the people that I love. I never do it intentionally but I'm not perfect. I'm so far from it. One thing I do is love hard and I love my husband more than anything. I had to get out of Nola when he left me for fear of doing something I couldn't take back. I still have the scars from the last time I tried leave this world and I refuse to get to that place again. I love Dean more than anything in this entire world. He is my life and my heart and I know I can't lose him ever again. Dean is an amazing person as he has given me another chance to prove myself. We're spending a little time here in California but then we'll be coming back to start new. I'm nervous going back because unlike when we first moved, I don't really have any prospects. I have a hard time functioning when I'm not working on a project or just a regular job but I'm sure I'll figure out something. That's not really my priority at the moment.

| Starting over... :: 1 :: |
[Tuesday 11th May @ 3:11pm] |
I have to say when the opportunity to relocate to New Orleans came up, my first instinct was to turn it down. There was really no reason to leave Chicago. I had a business, friends, family, why would I move? It was next to impossible to say no to the offer I'd been waiting to get for years now. Partnering with two of my close buddies from culinary school and opening up a restaurant... I'd wanted this for along time. Dean understood and because he is the most amazing man in the world, he and I packed up and here we are.
I was also pretty lucky because my best friend moved down here along with my annoying little sister and now the wonderful saint of a woman who was amazing enough to agree to carry a baby for Dean and I moved here too. If anyone said my life would've been like this a year ago I would've told them to fuck off and that they were crazy.
The restaurant will be opening in a few weeks. Seriously, I've never been more excited. The kitchen is all together so we've been testing out recipes and hiring kitchen staff. I can't get over how many amazing cooks are out there who understand our vision we have for the place and want to come along on this insane adventure we will be taking part in. In about a week and a half we will be having a private opening where we'd like people to come in and have dinner. The food will be on the house but you'll have to pay for any booze you decide to drink. If anyone wants to come have a free dinner and put our new staff through their paces, let me know and I'll put you on the list.
By the way, everyone needs to go to Miami. That place is amazing. I'm pretty surprised I got a tan considering we spent very little time outside.
