#24 start a diet to help aaron

aaron has crohn's (for those of you who i have not informed). we started a strict regiment on january 1st in attempt to diminish the symptoms of his disease. no grains (including rice and corn), no milk, no starches and of course no refined sugars. yes, just as you are wondering now, we also asked ourselves what would be left to eat; lots of healthy foods that come in their natural, God-made form. hooray for us all, he is responding remarkably well:) and i am finally cooking more than once a month. rather, i am cooking multiple times a day and always trying new things so i don't hear complaining that it is chicken soup for dinner AGAIN. this week is sprouted grain sourdough bread. sprouting my own grain on the counter next to sourdough starter from my blessed neighbor.


a few other goals i've accomplished - -

#25 have a game night with gideon and katie (charades...need i say more?)
#26 go to bed before midnight for a week (amazingly difficult, but so rewarding)
#27 drink 8 glasses of water in one day (tap water tastes so gross)
#28 use clothe diapers for a week (three weeks now and going strong)
#29 make a book for my blog 2008-2010 (actually went all the way through 2011 and was a christmas gift to aaron's grandparents)

Holy cow, what a restrictive diet! You are such a supportive wife for cooking so much...and for sprouting your own grain?!
Great progress on your goals!
Let's catch up soon!
