Organic bread made from spelt is very delicious.

I’ve started a sort of creative journal on my laptop. Most of the things I write will probably stay on my laptop, but I may occasionally post some of it here. I’m doing pretty good right now. I have a little over 9 months left in the military and then Steph and I are probably off to the states somewhere - wherever I can get a job. I’m a bit nervous but also excited. I just hope I can get a job in which I’ll be happy. Anything is bound to be better than going completely against personal beliefs and values as I am now. If anyone reading this knows of any IT openings in a decent company, let me know. ;)

I hope you’re all doing well. I always try to read my friends page…I just don’t always have time to post in my own journal. Have a great day!

I just ordered 3 books which look interesting:

Life of Pi

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night
Adios, Havana: A Memoir

I just finished reading The Kite Runner, which was fantastic. The way the author depicted the kite scenes really made me feel like a kid again. I want to get a kite and fly it. I haven’t done that in so many years. The book also got me really interested in the culture, food, and language of the people in it. I’ve never been that interested in the past, but the way this book was written made it all much more exciting.

At the moment, I’m reading An Open Heart: Practicing Compassion in Everyday Life and it seems to be helping me with my meditation. The past couple days things have gone really well. I feel much calmer now, and life is pretty good overall. I’m also reading a true story about a chinese woman who was unwanted as a child and treated poorly by her parents. I can’t remember the name of the book, but perhaps I’ll post it later. I just started reading it last night.

As you all know, today is Valentine’s Day. I’ve been reading about how it is all nonsense here. That being said, I love you Steph! Happy Valentine’s Day!

My friend Ryan came up to me today and asked if I wanted to learn Italian with him. It is an idea, since I’d probably be more likely to learn other similar languages after I learned that one. We have both been toying around with learning languages for a while now, but always different languages. If we both tried to learn the same one we’d have a better chance, since we’d be able to help each other at it. So I think maybe we’ll try it.

Steph and I are still doing our organic box scheme which includes vegetables, fruits, and eggs. I think it’s really changing the way we eat, and I really love it. We’ve made some really delicious soups and stir fries, and the fruit is really good. I tried an avocado for the first time in my life yesterday, and I loved it. Anyway, more on that to come in a later post.

I might post a little bit later, but I’m starving and I really want to go to lunch.
