FALL IN LOVE WITH LESS

While sitting at our kitchen table in Boer's Cottage, Marlee and I read this quote and decide to apply it to our lives. From Sunday, April 11 to Friday, April 16, we are VEGANS and we are AMISH. That means we will read by candle light, will not watch television or movies, will not wear leather boots or silk, will not ride in cars, will not use facebook, will not eat meat, eggs, or dairy, as well as not use cell phones. The one exception to living our lives simply is computers. Unfortunately we are still in school and have a lot of mandatory word-processed assignments that are due. What will we be doing with all of our extra time you might ask? we are going to read our bibles (like a true amish), catch up on political current events, and exercise (like a true vegan)

side note: we are going to dress like the amish, because we can't afford a new wardrobe. we are going to dress like vegans-no leather, no silk. we are also going to try not to use our refrigerator-- but we cannot make any exceptions. does anyone have a cooler or an ice box we can borrow (for our soy milk)

(nothing about this is meant to be offensive, this is simply a time of curiousity and exploration)
