Playing in the Dirt {Personal}

We’ve been talking a lot lately about the importance of eating clean, whole foods.  Maybe it’s because we are from the country and grew up watching corn grow and cattle graze.  Or maybe it’s just because we’re getting older and are realizing that eating pre-packaged and fast food isn’t going to keep us around very long.  Whatever it is it is a topic that comes up frequently around here.  Goodness knows we’re a long cry from being the healthiest bunch – but we’re trying!  Not long after Sarah and Jon moved (which happens to be just down the street from Chris and I) we decided it was time to try our hand at gardening.  Luckily we have a veteran gardner, in the form of my grandma, living here in KC who came over and gave us tons of tips of where to place our garden, what to plant, and a general crash course in gardening.

We finally got around to planting last night and are BEYOND excited to watch our garden grow.  It was so satisfying to watch the space change and seeing how in a few weeks we can be eating food we grew!!!!!!  Send up a prayer for our baby plants!
