What Day Is It?
Wow...it's Friday already? How did that happen? Friday quizzes below.
We're one whole week into the new year...how's yours going?
I think I'm doing alright, so far. This month holds some milestones for me. On the first, I celebrated nine years as a vegetarian (no, I didn't stop eating meat as a resolution...I don't make resolutions. I simply used it as a good starting point.), which is an accomplishment. It hasn't always been easy...when I first started, I knew very little about being a vegetarian; I didn't even know any vegetarians! I just knew I couldn't, in good conscience, eat animals any longer. Lots of grief and pressure from family and friends. Those first few months were filled with learning experiences (this is where I became a serious label-reader: you'd be surprised how many innocuous products contain animal bits!). But, here I am. Nine years, and one week later. Still going veg. Funny; my friend Nate will ask if I'm still doing that vegetarian thing...like it's a phase! Silly boy.
In a couple of weeks, Matt and I will celebrate six years since we first...connected. 'Met' isn't quite right, as we only exchanged emails. We didn't actually meet for another nine and a half months.
But six years? I have to say I'm pretty happy about that!
And of course, we're just months away from our three-year wedding anniversary, as well as five years since I moved to California to be with Matt.
And Alex is almost two!
Wow...again. Who's been sucking the time away from me?
