Admittedly, the past couple of days have been pretty uninspired. I used to stress myself out if I didn't get the perfect shot by the end of the day, and now I'm okay with whatever I get. Hence, a shot of my weather forecast yesterday.
I had already resigned myself to getting something pretty boring again today, but the raindrops on the lawn had other ideas. Today was a pretty trying day, and I'm thankful for my Jesus who heals my soul - today through supper and studying the word of God with friends, and some blah busting bokeh.

Recently I read that September is a much more appropriate time than January for make new year's resolutions, and it struck a chord with me. I have been feeling as though I am lost at sea in so many areas of my practical life lately, and seriously need to revamp and get back to living in a way that works again. Summer was a crazy whirlwind, and I am ready to settle into a little more predictability.
One huge area that needs attention is our diet. Having my wisdom teeth pulled in July completely threw off any effort I had been making in having healthy meals and snacks in the house - I just sort of shut down and went into survival mode at that point. Which is fine for a week. But then August was insanely busy, so there was no plan for food...we just crossed that bridge when we came to it. Which resulted in a lot of coffee for me, and a few too many donuts, fried food, and burgers all around. I'm sick of it. My body is screaming, "No more! I need real food!"
It's time for a reboot. When processed food starts creeping into our house more steadily, I often sit down with this book and just get a quick refresher on getting back to basics. Real food in a nutshell, is food that is old (people have been eating them for a very long time), and traditional (the way we used to eat them). It's an excellent read, as is "Real Food For Mother & Baby" by the same author.

We had a BBQ with our church family today, and this little sweetie was anything but camera shy :)
Six years ago today, I married the most amazing man in the world. He is my best friend; a leader, provider, encourager, inspiration. He's an amazing daddy, and amazing husband: and while not perfect, he's the perfect man for me. I am so blessed to love him, and be loved by him.
We went out for supper, then walked to the Fireworks Festival downtown - a wonderful date to celebrate six great years and to look forward to many more.

We need a hero
to save us from ourselves
save us from our fear
When the sirens wail
we need a hero here.

My man's Ibanez Artcore guitar. First time in a while that I've had to scramble at the end of the day for a photo.
Little Miss Boo is getting way too big!
We were out for a walk with my mom, and Bailey would periodically sit up and peer around the corner at me with a look of pure trouble on her face. It was a hard choice between this shot and a mischievous one, but I went with sweet today.
