Day 738 – First Time at Mom’s Organic Market

Today we visited Mom’s Organic Market for the first time. You may remember we like organic foods. We typically will shop at Trader Joe’s or Wegman’s. Trader Joe’s has just a little bit better pricing, but the selection isn’t as amazing as Wegman’s. Well, about 80-90% of Mom’s is organic. I think I spent about 80-90% of my time there with my mouth hanging open at just how much organic food there was. Produce, meats, lunch meat, canned food, frozen food. It was seriously overwhelming. They even carried our groceries to the car! Even though there were two of us and only one bag, a jug of juice and a gallon of milk. We were blown away!!!

We will more than likely do most of our shopping here now. We got a few things (we had to put a price limit because it was SO tempting to get EVERYTHING!) including a few treats for me! This “energy drink” Brain Toniq, has no caffeine and a whole bunch of healthy stuff. Maybe not the best of ideas to drink it at 9:00 p.m…..but at least I’ll see how it works!

Also, who can resist Elmo and the Cookie Monster!

Day 736 – Love & War

One of the things Bret and I did on our day of rest was to start reading a really fantastic book. Love & War by John and Stasi Eldredge. I have been a huge fan of John Eldredge for years. His book, Wild At Heart, changed my life. Literally. It was a catalyst to ending the relationship I was currently in and it opened my eyes to what true biblical manhood was like. I gave Bret a copy to read when we were dating and he was still in the military. He had the chance to read it in the desert during training. I was so happy he got to experience such a great book….in the wild! We also enjoy John’s books so much, we gave one as our favor, on our Day 1.

This book, Love & War, is about marriage and how God takes two people, most of the time complete opposites, and uses marriage to help them grow. Just in the few chapters we’ve read together we’ve already discovered new things about ourselves and our marriage. I highly recommend this book for newlyweds and longlyweds.
