Recent Happenings

- I know our smoke alarms work.  I did not need to test them out while cooking dinner however.  Talk about added stress when cooking chicken and green beans (which to me, is already stressful).

Germanfest happened here a few weeks ago.  Just thought I would share this gem.

- This chilly fall we are having means breaking out the heavier blankets and coats.  It also means my ice cubes stay ice in my cup for 6+ hours.  59 degrees in our apartment isn't THAT cold, is it?

- There is a time and a place for marching band competitions.  Saturday at 8:00am outside my apartment is not one of them.  And how many marching bands are there in Sioux Falls?!  Three hours worth, apparently.

- The Husband and I might suck it up and try Crossfit.  It's all the rage and we are talking about drinking the Kool-Aid.  If I don't return here, you'll know why.  Crossfit killed me.

- October 26 means many things:  

First: the return of GOLD RUSH OMGYES. Favorite show.  And someone makes bank this year according to the preview.  Cannot. Wait.

Second: my very first Sioux Falls visitor! And we are roadtripping to the land of the Black Hills on the other side of the state.  Mount Rushmore here we come!

- My beloved St. Louis Cardinals have made the Playoffs!  Let's hope they can keep it up.  Also, I'm tired of all the day games.  I can't watch it guys.  Common.

Ah what a beautiful sight.

Let's go Cardinals!
