Confirmation

About an hour ago, I had the privilege of seeing a three hour old baby in all his perfection and being able to welcome him to the world. While I can't remember what exactly I verbalized to him, I know that he amazed me and I was in awe of him. Babies are one of the ways that God reminds me that He is in control and is my Creator. Only Someone that big can create something so wonderful and tiny, caring about every last detail.

CSA Bounty

I'm part of the Cane Creek Farm CSA with a pick-up that takes place every Friday. What you see in the photo is not even half of what I received today. I love being part of the CSA as it helps local farmers, the food is as organic as possible and everything I receive is fresh. Also, I have learned a lot about different kinds of vegetables and how to cook new recipes. You can't buy a tomato like that at the grocery store!

No worries...

...it fades. One of my co-workers gave me this beautiful henna tattoo. She is amazing and shared that while living in India, she entered henna competitions. I'm thinking about doing this on one of my hands for the wedding. The design you see, a peacock, is authentic to Indian weddings which represents love.

Happy Independence Day!

What a great day we had! Not only were Matt and I able to spend our first 4th as a couple together, but there were plenty of festivities to help us celebrate.

Fat, fat, fatty!

Check this yucky thing out! He's huge and no wonder...he's been feasting on the tomatoes! So yucky. I took care of him. He is now well removed from what he thought was his throne.

Ice Cream Incident

You are walking down the street, minding your own business, enjoying a pint of ice cream, when all of a sudden half the pint mysteriously jumps out of the cup and lands on your shirt. What do you do? Well, since I now have experience in this area, lick your shirt as best you can, determine you are now going to eat the entire pint despite knowing you will be sick as a dog later on and walk home with your head held high. This is done not out of pride, because if you don't, as a person with long hair, the drying ice cream on your shirt acts as glue. I'm thankful tomorrow is Friday...
