the mighty mississippi

this is pretty historic, i am hearing... so for those of you who aren't down here hearing about it on the news and on the tip of everyone's lips, here's a video and article about the opening of the morganza spillway.

it's amazing to me for a few reasons:

1) it hasn't been opened in nearly 4 decades. that says a lot.

2) watch the water rush out of the gate. that's how much pressure is on all the levees. that... is awe inspiring to me. it also makes me pray the levees hold. fast forward the footage if you don't have 10 minutes to watch... it's worth it to see how quickly it floods.

3) wow.

My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
