You are what you eat.

So today I realized I haven't posted since we've gotten Netflix and I feel kinda bad about it. Oh goodness. I really like documentaries. I watched a few too many and now I'm a little paranoid about a few things. Like food. Ugh. I really want to start buying meat from a local farm. One where the animals are humanely treated. I'd like to try to eat more organically grown produce and cut out some of the processed stuff. It is really concerning how the food industry is so driven by greed that what is good for our bodies, the animals, and our Earth is not their main concern. I'm really intrigued by farmers who practice sustainable farming and really do care about those three things.

I've done a little research about the local farmers market and good news. We're pretty close to one. :) It will be interesting to see what they offer. I know that at least one farm sells meat on Saturdays, so we're waiting until then to check it out. We're lucky that they are open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday.

I'm surprised that there are quite a few things I like about North Carolina. I mean, don't get me wrong, Washington is definitely my favorite place on the planet, but in North Carolina I get to watch fireflies at night. Michael's friend from Mississippi insists that they are only called lightning bugs. Ha. The lightning is awesome, and it rains enough here enough that I don't miss it. We live pretty close to an big county park with a walking trail, volley ball court, tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, and picnic areas. All the wives/fiances/girlfriends of Michael's friends that I've met are very friendly and sweet. I feel so blessed to get such a relaxing break from school!

On a another note, any Glee fans out there? I really like glee, I used to just watch it because Fox offers full episodes for free online. Our favorite character is the adorable Emma Pillsbury played by Jayma Mays {picture from Eliza Magazine}:

Her wardrobe on the show is equally adorable as her character. It makes me want to buy an outfit like this {all from modcloth.com}:
