September Fun!

Here is my update:



My birthday was on September 4th which was wonderful. I turned 22 and came into work with a decorated office; I had to duck under the streamers to get in!




For dinner my family and I went to the Blossoming Lotus. It was the first Thursday of the month which is very busy because the art galleries around have their wine nights and the place gets packed! After waiting a little over an hour I decided it looked like it was still going to be awhile so I got some food to go and the rest of my family ordered pizza to eat at my parent’s house. The food was WONDERFUL! I love all of the raw options at the Blossoming Lotus. Maybe someday they will have even more, that would be fantastic.



Will and I had a week of vacation and with weekends our days off were September 13th-September 21st. It was so nice to have some time off together. We spent time wandering around down, went to the Saturday Market where there are vendors off all types. If nothing else the people watching is great. There are entertainers everywhere! I got two new toe rings because the one that I have had on for years finally gave out and broke.

Durning our vacation Will and I spent two days camping at Camp Indian Henry. It was a lot of fun and it was just the two of us and one other couple in the whole campground. The other couple was a guy that Will works with and his FiancĂ© so it was nice to meet new people and make new friends. Stacy is Vegetarian so she didn’t think I was completely crazy in the way I eat, although I did splurge and have some chips while we were there. The chips had only 4 ingredients if that counts for anything. = )

On Saturday September 20th I went wedding dress hunting with my two sisters Kristi (24) and Samantha (11) and my mom. The first place we went I found a dress I liked for $250. The next place we went I found a dress that I liked even more for $1,500. The last place we went and the place where I got my dress which I LOVE I got for $449. I was happy to find a dress for such a decent price, I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a dress I would only wear once although I did want to love it, which I do. Don’t get me wrong, almost $500 is a lot of money, but wedding dresses are not cheap!

I have been doing great on eating raw. I still love the way it makes me feel. I do know that I need to be eating more dark green leafy veggies and I have not been and do not feel any want to so…I have added in fish once a week. I will be eating fish that is low in mercury and is only wild and not farm raised. I want to make sure that I am giving my body everything it needs. Fish once a week will guarantee all the protein I need so I can continue on eating raw. I have been told that there has never been a deficiency in protein in history but I just want to make sure I am doing what it right for me. I will not be eating any other meat or dairy, only the fish, once a week. We’ll see how this goes. If I find that it isn’t working for me or I don’t like it, I will stop.

That’s about all that is going on with me. How are you doing?

So glad you like the cuffs!! It is bad- Malak has about 45 of them now (well, not quite) because I love them and keep keeping them for him. :)
That is so exciting about finding your wedding dress! I wish you could post a picture....but i suppose that could be risky. Oh well, I guess I will wait until after the wedding like everyone else. :)

I JUST finished putting the adults sizes up on Etsy! There aren't that many because I am not sure how well they will sell, but I have a few friends who want them, so we will see!

Hmmm, I don't have anymore of the super soft black...but I can make the mens black one (that is posted)into a woman's. OR...I have 2 or 3 more black options that I will try to get finished and posted tomorrow.

Hello, Stephanie. Sorry about the delete, I wanted to sign in under a different username (if that makes any sense). Anyway, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed reading some of your previous posts. I have been struggling with going 100% raw for quite some time now and it is nice to read about someone who is having success. Thanks for the motivation.
