4 Years!!!

Yay!!! Jeremy and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary this week. Our actual anniversary was June 24th, but we celebrated on the 23rd because Jeremy had to work on the the 24th. We had a wonderful day together. We decided to start the day out at the pool.

Jossy was sporting the sunglasses that her Nana got her :)

Jocelyn had a great time swimming with her daddy.

She starts her swimming lessons on Monday.

Then, Jeremy and I read some articles about GMOs, genetically modified foods. 80% of non organic food in our grocery stores are genetically modified. It is super scary. The chemicals and hormones they use have been linked to cancer, infertility, and other not fun stuff. I do not want to be exposed the chemicals and hormones, and I especially do not want Jocelyn in taking them. I truly believe that the things they are putting in our food are a direct result for the escalation of autism, adhd, and other disabilities and problems we have with children. For the past several months Jeremy and I have purchased organically whenever possible. We are even more committed to this, and have decided to plant our own garden.

We went to Lowes and bought lots of seeds.

Got some organic soil :)

Loaded it up in the trunk in my car.

Then we planted them all in pots. We have a pretty small yard and it is very shady. We put the plants in pots to see where they grow best. We will see how it goes. Hopefully we will get some fruits and vegetables!!!

Then, we were supposed to go out to dinner, but decided to eat at home instead. My husband has become an unbelievable cook since he started at the fire department. We had Greenwise steaks, non-genetically modified and strictly vegetarian fed, organic sweet potato fries, and organic corn on the cob. Amazing dinner to celebrate a wonderful four years!!!
