Exciting Updates!!

Hey Everyone! It's been a while!!! Some exciting and not so exciting things have been taking place in our lives lately and we seem to be at a point where I can sit back a little bit and start some new things and take advantage of the wonderful life we have.
Anthony and I have been doing great! Our marriage has gotten off to a pretty great start and even though we aren't pros, we think that we are on our way! In January we joined a Growth Group through our church and we absolutely love it. Not only are we learning more about God but we've met some amazing people that we are very attached to and it is really helping our own marriage to grow and flourish. I honestly can't recommend joining something similar enough. Just the few months that we have been involved have changed our lives for the better and I can't foresee a time in the future when we will not be a part of one.
Anthony and I are both still at our respective jobs and for now we are just trying to focus on the positive. Honestly I'm really trying to just be grateful that our bills are paid and our needs are met by these jobs but those days are not as often as I would like them to be. At the very least we are both learning a lot and earning some money.
Recently I became a Vegan and it has completely changed my life is almost every way imaginable. 

I was a vegetarian for about a year and a half but I was fairly casual about it. My health wasn't very good and it was getting worse and finally at the end of December I decided that I needed to make a change. I was diagnosed with Depression and dealing with that (and the symptoms/repercussions that come along with it) has been one of the hardest things I've ever done and it is a daily battle with myself. I'll definitely go into more detail in a different post but basically getting myself back into a semblance of normalcy and health is my top priority at the moment. Becoming vegan has helped me quite a bit in helping me work towards that goal. I'm really excited about where it is going to take me and the impact it is going to have on my life and that of others. I can't wait to share with you how this journey is starting to change my life!!
Basically my goal is to take this blog and turn it into a Vegan/Food/Recovery/Fitness blog. I'm going to be sharing recipes, resources, workouts, motivation, and basically just my testimony to why I am living my life the way I am and how you can change your life as well. I'm  really excited about this new step in my life and am thoroughly enjoying the process of getting this all together. My goal is to have everything up and started the week of April 20th so mark your calendars!! I really hope that you'll join me and maybe even feel inspired to try some yummy vegan food. 


I mean seriously... How delicious does that look?! Who knew Vegans actually ate anything other than salads?!
