Never gotta sweat that

So it's been a while. See, I'm not so good at this... but things distract me when Ryan isn't at work. I have recently gone for an interview at Kirklands. It's a home decorating store. I thought the interview went alright, so hopefully something good comes from it! Yesterday we went to the farmer's market in Nashville. It was amazing. There's so many things there that I think everyone should see. We're going to be buying our meat from local vendors rather than at the commissary. Though it will be a little more expensive (not by much!) it will be a healthier alternative for us. We have really been working on that. We ended up getting the most beautiful and fresh strawberries I've ever seen and copefruit (to try, it looked yummy- and the farmer told us they were really sweet. They will be expecting wild berries and things within the next few weeks.) We also picked up some apple butter, which my sister said was delicious, and was right! I just had some on toast with a banana. We also got sweet corn, and fresh ham slices. I can NOT wait to eat it! Lol. We should have picked up some bacon because the bacon that was there smelled sooooo scrumptious. But, next time. We also picked up a houseplant, along with two types of strawberries that we will be growing outside. We got a Lemon Verbena plant, a Chocolate Mint plant, and a Pineapple something, I'll have to check later. But they all smell so good and taste really yummy. I can't wait to use them to cook with! All this, along with a $15 handmade tank and $10 for dinner (I got mexican rice&Ryan got chicken tikka masala from the indian restaurant), cost us $50. Ryan is more excited than me! He wants to buy a house so we can get a garden. I love that he's all for it! I'm going to be buying giant pots that we can put on our porch since we aren't allowed to have a garden where we are right now. We are also going to be looking at hydroponics.
More later, because I am going to figure out how to make my own soap! That may just become my new business :)
