Weekend Re-cap!

This weekend we got to enjoy the sights of Thousand Oaks because of our friend Victor & Desiree's wedding. It was a ton of fun, and it was nice to see some Biola friends!

Friday

The beautiful venue...

Saturday
 Then on Saturday we had lunch with my parents... Pho and bluberry donuts! Then later that evening we went to this seafood restaurant (forgot what it was called) to celebrate my grandma's birthday!

 Oh it was sooo delicious!!!

Sunday
We enjoyed church! Led worhip for Junior High & High School, went to service, then served in the nursery. Ok side note... Our Junior High ministry is undergoing a revamp. Our kids are excited and we are ecstatic!!! There will probably more posts to come in regards to them.

Back to work...
My job is not bad. I am enjoying getting to know my co-workers day by day. I am grateful and truly blessed. One of my co-workers (Ranie) decided that we are both going to make candied pecans to add to our salad. Here is what mine came out to look like...

 My yummy pecans on our yummy salad for dinner!

Weekend Preview

This past weekend primarily consisted of EATING! We had a wedding to go to and also spent the weekend with my parents. Here is a preview of what we ate..

BLUEBERRY DONUTS!!!

I thank my parents for introducing this to us and thank Darrel for introducing this to them!!! They were scrumptious! My new favorite!!!

More to come on our adventures from this weekend... but this was the highlight! Haha!

First Day!

So as I mentioned I got a new job! Well today was my first day... I was nervous but it was a fantastic first day! I had to alphabetize a ton of files (but ABC's are my specialty), clean, replenish supplies, etc. Very relaxed and busy at the same time for a first day. It was a good first day! My supervisor is great, I like her and I think she likes me! So Praise the Lord!!! I am very blessed!

SOLD OUT!!!

These suckers are sold out!

So unfortunately the juicer we got doesn't last very long (due to research of my great friend Jessica!) so we are returning it and trying to invest in this one. SOLD OUT everywhere... all because of Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead! Everyone has joined in the revolution and the company didn't even know they were going to be in the documentary and didn't know their machine was such a hit. Well apparently now they know and now they are making more. So that's good news! We are going to just order this puppy online!

Praise the Lord!

God is good! The Lord provides! I am no longer unemployed! The Lord has blessed me with a job to be a Project Assistant (basically a receptionist and help out with projects). I will be working in my dad's office in Riverside. It may not be the job I would hope for but nonetheless it is a job! I am grateful and give all praises to the Lord!

Healthy Endeavors

Cucumber Delight

- 1 Cucumber
- 2 Huge Fuji Apples
- 4 Organic Carrots

 Man it is sooo yummy! The hubby and I wanted to try it, so here is our first official juice! It is pretty sweet, and there was no sugar added! All natural! As my husband would say "Nada Artificial, Todo Natural!" Yeah this pitcher is supposed to be a meal for one person and to be honest I wouldn't mind drinking this whole pitcher. It's addictively (not a word) delicious!!!

Healthy Endeavors

Fat Sick and Nearly Dead!
Here is another revolutionary documentary we watched, Fat Sick and Nearly Dead!

So the hubby and I talked it over and we are adapting what this guy did into our new healthy lifestyle. Basically this guy was very much overweight and had a disease. He had resolved to going on a juice fast for 60 days! Basically instead of eating he was drinking juice 3 times a day in place of his meals. You have to watch it!!!

Willie and I have resolved to do the same but modified to our needs and our lifestyle. We are going to substitute 2 meals out of the day for juice and then have a healthy well portioned meal for the other 1 out of 3 meals a day. We still haven't decided how long we are going to do this but eventually we are going to try to adapt this juice thing into our lifestyle to one juice meal a day.

Why are we doing this? Well it isn't mere to lose weight. This whole juicing endeavor is basically a detox or a cleanse. It is surreal how much nutrients our body is lacking and juicing is one great way of getting those nutrients.  But back to the question... Well the hubby wants to do it for the nutrients and I do too don't get me wrong. But for myself it is for several reasons... 1. I am 15 pounds overweight. 2. I have a lot of health issues and want to resolve them... NATURALLY! Because if you watch the other two documentaries I talked about you will see how medicine actually brings toxins to your body. They appease the symptoms not necessarily heal you. Don't get me wrong there isn't anything wrong with medication but I just don't want to be popping 10 pills a day. 3. I just want to start feeling better physically and emotionally (if you are a female you understand the emotional aspect that I am talking about).

So it appears that our Moval Adventures will probably revolve around our Healthy Adventures but it will also entail exciting occurrences here in Moval.

Stick around the next post will be about Organic! (dun dun dun!) 

Oh yeah and in result of this documentary we purchased a juicer!

Please watch the documentary, you will know what I am talking about. I am not saying a lot about it because I do not want to spoil it for you guys!

P.S. There is a fire out in our area. We are not too close to it. I suspected there was a fire because it smells like fire, but I didn;t even know there was one until Ate Glo texted me asking if we were ok! Thanks Ate Glo, I love you and miss you soooo much!!!
