T minus one month until...

Again, I know it has been a little while since the last blog post... but this one is a SAVORY one. It is a long one and should only be read when you have time, cause you need to see the links and watch the videos. I have so much information MARINATING and I'm ready to DISH it out. You ready for me to SERVE it up? (Are you getting the food analogies, cause if not the suspense and play on words didn't work!)

All shooting has wrapped and the show hits the air just one month from tonight. The fifth season of the Next Food Network Star will air Sunday June 7 at 9/8c. I have put the video promo for the show below so that you can watch it. It is the same one that you may have seen running as a commercial spot on FN (Food Network).


I have also provided a link for you to meet all ten of this season's contestants so that you can pick your favorites and see what is in store. There is a video you MUST watch. It is a buck forty long (that's 1:40 in TV lingo) and shows you MAJOR highlights that you will see all season long throughout all 9 episodes. Watch, log on and tell me what you think. Its free, duh and takes only a little bit of time to watch. It has been consuming my life, you can at least give me some kind of feedback cant you? Watch season opener.

Other than that, I am sure you have heard by now, that I became an uncle for the third time. This time to my first Nephew Hudson James. He is doing well and my sister and brother-in-law are doing even better now that their little blessing is here. I must say I miss you all, but he is probably the biggest reason I want to come home for a visit. I can not wait to meet him, this time in person rather than through my computer web cam the way we did the night he was born.

I did get news that my job is extended through June 19th so that is a blessing. Once that is up, I am not sure what else will fall into place, but that is where I am trusting God. He will arrange what he has in store for me and I will just keep doing my best at whatever it is I can do. I am not worrying cause I know He has promised good to me and I am ready to see what that is. My life motto has become what Jeremiah 29:11 reads.

I also had a visit from my step-mom and my dad this past weekend. It was PERFECT timing (well not for the weather part, but we made the most of it). It was a good touch of home at just when I needed it most! I have posted some pictures below for you to see. Of course after they leave I realize we did not take, not even one picture of all three of us together. Guess we were having to much fun to think? We saw Jersey Boys (great) and did the ENTIRE central park (lots of walking) and ate and ate and ATE! It was amazing!

Also just to show you and give you an idea of how wonderful this city is this time of year, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out my photo website and click on the album called Spring Blossoms in NYC by clicking here. I will only post one picture down below to give you a tease of what you can expect to see and be amazed at by clicking on the link.

I hope that all of you are doing well, and aren't missing me too much. In case you are wondering, I will more than likely plan a visit back home after my job is up here... and hopefully in between jobs. What are thins like at home for y'all? keep me updated my responding to the blog or by email me me at dillonandrecouvilon@gmail.com. Please keep the prayers coming, I am relying on them, and they are carrying me through.

Until next time,
Peace, Love and NYC,
- Dillon
