So, the past few months I have been watching an unhealthy number of documentaries about food. (my husband is about to kill me) Seriously any food documentary I can find, I watch. My eyes have been opened to what we eat and why we eat it. Who knew that politics was so involved in my weekly grocery store visit? Anyway, that is not the point of this blog. (If you want to know about what I have learned from my food documentary binge, then feel free to email me.) My main conviction from this massive amount of new knowledge is--my body is a temple, and I need to treat it as so.
Lent.
The season of lent is a time for me to sacrifice something, but more importantly a time to focus and reflect on the sacrifice that Christ made for me. This year during the season of lent, my theme word is cleanse. I am going to give up meat and as many processed foods as possible to clean out my body with a focus on health (not being skinny). I am going to challenge myself physically and try to work out 6 days a week. I am going to purge my mind of negative thoughts, and focus on the peace and love of Christ. I am going to dive in to scripture and prayer. I want God to cleanse my heart so that I can see the direction he would have me go.
This is going to be a journey, and I am going to try my best to give weekly updates. So, stay tuned.
Lent. Let's do this.

*I wrote this 2.9.14 and forgot to post it.*
Time moves unbelievably fast. Today Andrew and I have been dating for {three} years, and have been married for {three} months. I thought that as I reflected today about this journey I have begun called marriage...I would share a few things that I have learned [am learning] along the way.
1. The excitement of a wedding fades quickly, and at that point real life begins.
2. Every person has their quirks. Sometimes we adapt them. Sometimes....not so much.
3. Andrew and I use an unusual amount of spoons.
4. My mom was right....laundry NEVER ends.
5. Sometimes all a person needs is a little space.
6. No place feels safer, than in my husband's arms.
7. It is okay to laugh at yourself. [and each other]
8. Having a God focused marriage is hard, and has to be intentional. Being newly weds, we tend to want to focus on each other most.
9. Sharing a meal together is important. Sharing a meal that we cooked together, even more important.
10. I get to have a sleep over with my best friends every night.
