November December Randoms

These past few months have been difficult in our family. But family gets through things together. 2015 has gone by and a brand new year is upon us. Here are a few last moments of 2015.

Sooo, new developments. I've gone Full Time at FedEx to help out with the holiday season, so things are moving along quite nicely. Less free time, but hard work and experience is worth it. Still lots of eating, so at least I got that going for me. :-)

El Oasis our favorite. Cantaloupe, cucumber, mango and corn flavored Mexican ice creams

Pool time in September?!

Chicken thighs with Brussels Sprout salad and sweet potato fries

Zucchini noodles in garlic and olive oil

Exploring Meadowbrook park

My dogs

First time with spaghetti squash, not bad

Still loving El Oasis. Popsicles, ice cream and fried stuff

Roast chicken with kale and sweet potatoes

Still liking the short hair, think I'll keep it

Still eat nori on my popcorn

Again with the El Oasis, we get it...

The weather is getting colder and my poor little heart can't take it. Fall is going by so fast and Winter is right around the corner. My favorite season is passing us by.

Luckily, I don't work outside anymore, so the harsh conditions will not hurt me anymore. That is until I slip on the pavement wearing high-heeled boots. One thing at a time, one thing at a time. 

For now I'll focus on less travel and more eating, that is until the holidays come around. Then it'll be more travel, more eat ing:-)

Bears v Packers: My First NFL Game

I've recently given up the fantasy football life. But that doesn't mean that I gave up on football. SO when my awesome sister-in-law gave Bryan and I the opportunity to go to an NFL game, I said ok. When we found out it was a Bears game at Soldier Field, we said yes! When we found out it was a Bears/Packers rivalry game, we said heck yeah!

On the train up north

Game day

Go Bears

Nothing like beer at the game

NF-SELfie!

No, thank you

So the season opener turned out to be a loss for the Bears. But it's ok, it was worth it to see people tailgate, laugh at the crazies in our section, and watch a game live and be part of the environment. My first NFL game was fun and a great experience. GO BEARS!
