easter and a little background...

First of all Hoppy Easter (couldn't resist :))! This is one of our Easter puppies. What a face :)


The Lord is indeed risen. This sums it up from a song we sang at our wonderful church today:

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You're beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity's shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we'll sing
You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I was overwhelmed with gratitude, excitement, and awe as we worshiped in church today. He is indeed beautiful, gracious, loving, and awesome among other things. I'm so grateful to be His.

Now on to the veggies :)

It all started about 40 days ago. I wanted to give up meat for Lent mostly as a challenge but also to be healthier etc. So I propositioned Kevin...as I usually do....to gage his interest. After a little thought he said, "OK I can do that for a week." After the first week we decided, "wow we feel so much better!! This wasn't so hard after all!! We can do this and it's fun!" Yes we were that excited or just surprised :) So we gave it a go for Lent. 40 days later we look and feel so much better, eat healthier, and have tried things we never thought we would. So I am going to continue on my vegetarian journey and I will document it on here. Hopefully I can share some healthy recipes or items that you might love even if you eat meat. Most everything I try to eat or make is healthy.  So welcome and stay a little while!
