Hi. I am Annush and I’m a vegetarian.  I have been a vegetarian since I was about 10 years old.  Before you even ask, it didn’t have anything to do with my parents or my puppy…I just don’t like the smell of meat.

Apparently yesterday was World Vegetarian Day but for some reason I found out today.  Now, by acknowledging it I am not trying to lecture anyone about their dietary choices but I will say that the vegetarian lifestyle is one that we should all embrace not only because it is a more humane way to live, but because in this day and age here in America, we don’t know what’s in our food. Between hormones, antibiotics, unnatural feeds, etc. our health is at risk. That should make everyone want to reconsider their diet.

In other news, today is my mom’s birthday.  Not only am I happy for her because it’s her birthday, but from the looks of it, she is going to be a grandmother for the second time this week.

We celebrated a few days ago so she could go be with my brother and sister in law these last few days before the baby is born, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty certain that no gift I could have given her can top a baby boy…

I have a lot to be happy about and thankful for these days.  Things to look forward to and the hope that I’ll forever be appreciative of the things/people I have in my life.  It is very exciting to see our family grow and our projects bloom.

Now I am gonna go try to bake a vegan cake so I can celebrate life before I go out tonight!
