Let's Finish this Thing!

Wow. It's been a while and there have been so many changes. The most interesting part of all of this is that we took a long hiatus from our blog this exact same time last year--September through November. What is it about this time of year?!?! Last year I rafted the Colorado river for a month, lost my dad, lost my childhood dog, and got a new job. This year I got married, traveled to Spain, and became a momma to a little Rio pup.

While I write all of those changes in list form I have to recognize that losing my dad definitely has affected me the most. I miss him everyday. More than I can explain in a blog.

Everyone made it seem like marriage would be a life changing experience, but for me, the relationship I have with Ryan does not seem all that different. I think the fact that I have lived with him for so long and already felt very committed made marriage more just a fun way to celebrate it all (don't get me wrong though, I do take the vows I made seriously!).

So with that being said, we are back, to finish what we started! This upcoming Monday we will forge ahead with Rule #56: Limit your snacks to unprocessed plant foods. I think this one will be challenging because with work and puppy-parenting I have been eating a lot of junk on the go.

We only have 8 rules to go! I will now leave you all with a pic of our growing boy. He insists sleeping on our lap even though he now barely fits. I don't know what we are going to do in another few weeks!
