Simplicity in the Burbs ($2 a day): Amazing Life, Amazing Wife! [Day 8]

Simplicity in the Burbs ($2 a day): Amazing Life, Amazing Wife! [Day 8] March 17, 2011

Yesterday was pretty normal.  I went to work at the church (I am serving part time until I finish seminary) and then had a dentist appointment.  But, as I read many of the comments and emails from all of you yesterday, something became evident: You are all concerned about my health and eating practices.

As you know if you read my first post in this series, I am picky… quite picky.  But, inspired by your concern and that of my wife (who is always concerned), I made sure to add some organic veggies to the mix.  Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I made fried rice.  It included two eggs (for protein), a cup of mixed veggies (which I loath… well, except the carrots), and brown rice.  This actually turned out pretty good and made a wonderful burrito.

For those of you who are wondering if I am getting proper nutrition, let me add that I take a multivitamin and a fiber pill every day as well.  These are both per doctors orders for other issues I deal with.  So, I am feeling decent.  And, I plan to eat more of those pesky beans…

Well, today is an interesting day.  Four years ago, I got married to my amazing wife!  She is my love, my support, and an incredibly gifted and compassionate woman.  She is also smokin’ hot! 😉

Here is my question – What would simplicity have me do to make this day special for her?  I can’t really spend much money, but I want her to know how amazing she is.  Any thoughts?  OR – TELL ME ABOUT SPECIAL DATES YOU HAVE BEEN ON FOR CHEAP!

Finally, we have quite away to go with our water campaign and if you are able, I invite you to give $2 to help provide clean water for our sisters and brothers in Africa.  You can to it by clicking on the thermometer in the right hand column of the site.  Grace and peace!
