my love preached his first sermon. it went well, and i was pleased to learn that watching him preach makes me even more attracted to him. i was so proud of him.
our little love wore the most darling dress.
a delicious lunch.
a long walk (with some peaches and a lemon picked along the way).
a unique flower was picked as well. a quick google search later and i learned that it is a purple passionflower. interestingly enough, this flower was given the name passionflower because it is thought to stand for certain parts of the crucifixion story.
unsweetened sun tea.
a rose picked from our front yard.
we are starting to feel a bit more settled, although we mostly still feel like strangers in this place. aside from being away from our friends and the things we are familiar with at home, it has been very difficult to know where to shop for groceries. things brightened up a bit for me today when we located a health food store. it smelled just like our health food store at home! we found several products we use at home, and we were even able to purchase raw milk (it is legal to sell it in the state of CA!). it was more expensive than back home and we didn't think it tasted very good, but it was fun to try anyway. i told jeremy that all of that made it feel a bit more like home to me.
