what's new?


*Knee stuff - still hobbling along over here! But I'm hopeful that I won't be hobbling for much longer. Today, I did some Google research about natural ways to help a swollen knee out. Berries, apples, pineapples, CHOCOLATE, raw foods and other stuff. So I came home and made a berry pineapple green smoothie! I may *need* to purchase some dark chocolate. It's for my health!!!!

*Work - I've been dabbling in some recruiting at work and it's been interesting and waaaaayyy cool when you can call someone to offer them a job. So if you know anyone in the Dallas area in need of work, call me. ;)

*Ebola - speaking of the Dallas area.... Yeah! It's insane. The main hospital involved in all of this is a short drive from my house. I don't think that the mass hysteria is warranted. Ebola has been around for a while and as we know it, less than 10 people in the US have contracted it. 10 out of a country with Millions of people. That said, I do believe that the CDC is minimizing how easily the virus can be spread from person to person.

*Autumn - This is a beautiful time of year to visit the city though! Just bring your hazmat suit. KIDDING!
Seriously, autumn is my favorite. The Fair just ended and where else could you see ostriches racing on an indoor track with jockeys riding them?!

Picture proof

This was by far the creepiest, most fascinating thing that I've seen in a while. I do Not like ostriches. They are Scary. But this was the only live animal show that I wanted to see at the fair. It did not disappoint.

* Wedding (and a beach!) - I went to Alabama to attend a friend's wedding. First stop though was a beach! Well, actually Cracker Barrel. Then a beach! Florida's panhandle runs right along the Alabama  border. So naturally we had to visit Destin. Naturally.

The water - clear, blue PERFECTION
The sand - soft, powdery PERFECTION

that's it! i'm MOVING!!!

It was awesome. I felt like a kid at the beach. Didn't bring a bucket and shovel though. We saw a school of fish swim between Mich and myself. Tons of little fish! So weird and cool! Not as weird as the ostriches though. And a sea turtle swam past us! And we thought we saw dolphins out in the distance! But they weren't dolphins. :( But Still! Such a fun day!

The next day was the wedding. SO much work went into it and it was beautiful!


Her sis-in-law made the cake. She did an Amazing job!

Hilarious how the happy couple are both on their phones!

Melissa and I


My Menzies'. They're giving me the "what in the world do you think you're doing?" look. Love 'em!

Yayyy and congrats to the Nimocks! I got my wedding fix. Surely I can't be the only one out there who needs a good wedding every once in while (but not too often!) to laugh and cry at! I'm good for another year or so. ;)
