All thing Texas

What happens when you have your team of coworkers and boss come in for a meeting? You have to show them all things Texas! I have lived in Texas almost as long as I have lived anywhere at this point, but I still chuckle sometimes because Texas is just different. (I lived in NJ for 2 years, NY for 16, NC for 12, and now TX for almost 15)

My co-worker, Jayme, who has become a good friend arrived on Tuesday. Our first order of business was buying cowboy boots and then we headed off to the Stock Show and Rodeo. It was a fun night of hanging out and having fun before our meeting started.

Wednesday we spent the day collecting our coworkers and boss from the airport, grocery shopping, settling in and starting our meeting. On Thursday, we worked hard for most of the day so we could have some sightseeing time later in the day. We headed to the Fort Worth Stockyards to look at some shops and see the Cattle Drive.

We headed back for a little more meeting time and then dinner. After dinner Jayme, Ann and I headed off to Billy Bob's Texas "The World's Largest Honky Tonk" for some line dancing. I was grateful for more freshman year of College when my friends used to take me line dancing on a regular basis. I'm not sure if the dances have gotten harder or I am just old, but it wasn't as easy as I remembered!

Friday we headed to the Dallas Pharmacy to meet the pharmacists and tour the pharmacy before parting ways. We were finally able to get a picture of the whole crew!

ThriveRx Nutrition Advocate Team

I am so lucky to have a job I love for an incredible company. The five of us really enjoyed our 3 days together to team build and strategize to make us better advocates.

While I was gone the kids did really well thanks to our village. There was definitely a point where I wouldn't have been comfortable leaving (even if I was only 15 min away). I am grateful to everyone who pitched in keeping the kids safe and cared for.

I came home a bit under the weather so I have spent most of the weekend trying to recuperate before the week starts. I don't have a fever, but am definitely not feeling 100%. Medically, Alex is doing well with his new TPN formula so we will just watch and see if we need to make any more adjustments. We are still waiting for results on Maddy's testing.

The highlight of the week was a call from Beverly. Beverly has continued to be impressed with Zoey's ability to detect the scent when Alex's cortisol is low. She is also much improved in public settings. Based on what she is seeing, she thinks Zoey should be able to come home to us in about a month!! Please continue to pray for us in this area! Zoey's Fundraiser

Praying this week that I feel better and the kids don't catch whatever I have!
