in love with this video. you know i’m going to be making these this summer with dandies! (and trying to make vegan graham crackers for the first time. luckily there’s a video for that here too!)

I cannot wait to try this.

Brianne and I saw Limbeck and Hellogoodbye at the glasshouse last weekend, it was amazing. so many good memories, hanging with her and all of Hellogoodbyes music. I just love them. 

this weekend ( while sick..) Christina and I went to see the Used! We haven’t hung out in a very long time and it was so great to see her. 

Date night with Megan, we recently went to a late night movie in the best theatre ever! the seat reclined, we also had food and wine delivered to us! It was so comfortable that Megan fell asleep. The movie was great though, we saw Zero dark thirty. 

Megan’s birthday was just after mine ( in January) so I made her dinner and dessert, with a surprise guest. our good friend Natasha come to see her! I think she had an amazing night! Dinner was a steak with a chimmichurri sauce, roasted cauliflower and an edamame mash, everything was so tasty. Her cake was a gluten free Vanilla cake with a gluten free dark chocolate frosting mmmm. 

Date night! Raquel and I went to Bottega Louie for dinner and some catching up. 

My Valentine! xoxo

We took another trip to disneyland! still the happiest place on earth! we had a blast, with a few tantrums… but overall a good day, as you can see. 

At church pastor Steve has challenged us all to read and participate in The Daniel Fast by Susan Gregory. On March 10th I am going to embark on a 21 day fast to experience the fullness of the resurrection of christ- the fullness of the cross. 

“The Bible teaches us that we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. The Daniel Fast affects all three parts of us as we enter into a period of time for focused prayer and fasting.

The Body - Certainly our bodies are effected as our diet is changed, for some in very dramatic ways, during the Daniel Fast. Many men and women experience detoxing from caffeine, chemicals and sugar. The symptoms are most often headaches, leg cramps, fatigue and malaise. 

Most people lose weight during the Daniel Fast. And many report healings from diabetes, allergies, arthritis and cancer. 

The Soul - Frequently referred to as “the flesh” in the Bible, the soul is also greatly impacted during the Daniel Fast. The soul is the seat of our emotions, intellect, personality and will. It is in the “soulish realm” where we experience cravings, frustration, anger … and even happiness. 

During the Daniel Fast, your soul may very well rebel against the dramatic change in your diet. Experiencing and winning this battle over the flesh is often one of the most powerful lessons of the Daniel Fast.

The Spirit - Our spirit is that born-again part of us that surrenders to God and then abides with the Father and the Son. Our spirit is filled with the Holy Spirit when we yield to Him. During the Daniel Fast, we want to put our spirit in charge of the other two parts of us. When our flesh is acting out with a craving, we take control of it with our spirit (just as a parent takes control of a rebellious child). 

Fasting is always coupled with a spiritual goal. So during this time of fasting, you will want to focus on prayer, study and meditation.”

I am not to far into the book but so far I am loving it. 

Pastor Steve has asked us to pray like never before as something I have struggled with, sitting down and making the time to pray for myself and others I am really looking forward to connecting with God through his word and being disciplined throughout the fast. 

Next weekend Ezekiel, my mom and myself are taking the train to San Diego to visit Raquel, Ashley and uncle Gerry! We are going to the Zoo! I think Ezekiel is really going to enjoy the train ride and I’ve herd the San Diego Zoo is great.
