Daniel Fast

Daniel Fast Begins!

We are doing a 21 day Vegan Fast with our church community starting yesterday after lunch.  Starting with a 24 hour natural juice fast.  I had done a mini-fast at school and really felt I accomplished something.  We are both really excited.  We are going to hold each other accountable to stick with it.  I think we should add watching Dave Ramsey's series every night so I'll have to talk to Kevin about that.  Since I am nursing I have to do a modified version of the fast.  I am trying to follow along with the guidelines, but adding some stuff back into the meals.  Kevin is trying to do his best to follow along.  He came home with a screaming headache today.  I guess not drinking your normal 3-5 cups of coffee a day will do that to you.  Knowing how much of a picky eater I am we are definately going to have to PLAN like crazy!  I had to have a roll-up last night.  Since we had done grocery shopping last week and I don't want to waste food I did have some ham.  Once this is gone, we will be not buying anymore meat.  Tonight we had a VERY filling black beans and rice meal.  It was based on the recipe from church, but we didn't have all the spices so Kevin modified.  It is about 10pm tonight and Kevin just ran to the store to grab some fruit and veggies to snack on tomorrow.  We have to plan our meals so we can do some real shopping tomorrow night.  We both God moves into our hearts and gives us clarity on issues we are struggling with.

FRANTIC MORNING!

So I am totally flustered today. I went to bed last night at 12am after grading papers, sorting through Mary Kay product, and cleaning. I slept fairly light due to my little bed mate! Anyways, when the alarm went off Kevin got up to take a shower first. Little known to me he was not watching the clock and woke me up at 7am! Yes, 15 minutes before I needed to leave for the day. So I am now sitting at work having not showered or eaten...and I forgot most of my stuff at home. Totally flustered! I have been meaning to put more pictures on here, but have been soooo busy. Last weekend we went to see Abbey and Ben. It was nice to see them and I know Kevin has missed them so terribly. We definatly need to make it a point to go out there more often. I wish they could come here more because I know they enjoy spending time with Nathan and us out here. One day...

Well, if I get some time to do it later I will put more pictures up here for Mimi and Papa to see their grandson and how BIG he is getting. Oh, and we get our pictures from JCPennys tonight. Those will be in the mail asap.
