This year, for the first time, Bryan and I will be participating in Lent together. We knew that we wanted to do something that would truly feel like a sacrifice for us. After much deliberation, we've decided to give up lactose items for Lent this year- all cheese, pudding, whipped topping, ice cream, string cheese, creamy jalepeno at Chuys, goldfish, milk chocolate, etc. However, we did feel we needed an exception for plain milk (for Bryan) and plain yogurt (for me) to make sure that we still get enough calcium. Planning dinners just got harder.
We know that this is going to be rough. I think it will be really good for us to remember why we're participating in Lent.
In other news, we're on the search for a blog layout! Any good websites we should check out?

Random Question: Are you participating in Lent this year?
Our Answer: See above. :-)
We are participating in Lent as a family. We have given up sweets and Wii. Best of all is the chance everyday to not get upset when someone "hurts" us. We are trying to remember that our pains are not that great. Side note, broccoli has calcium!
ReplyDeleteYes to Lent - No to Bret partaking. Please. If that child gave up anything he would diminish into NOTHING. scary.
