Comfort food and new directions


One of David's favorite meals I make just so happens to be one of my childhood favorites.  So simple and easy, pizza bread is a breeze to put together.  Just pick up frozen bread dough, pepperoni, shredded mozzarella, a bit of parmesan, and your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.  The only thing about using frozen bread dough is  its pretty hard to roll it out, it just keeps bouncing back.  Most of the time I have David do that part for me.  Muscles! 


It looks so delicious to me right now!  Too stinkin bad I can't eat one part of that delectable cheesy bread on my new diet.  Since moving to Texas I've gotten these dry itchy red patches on my skin and around my eyes.  I've gone to the Dr a few times and they just keep giving me some sort of steroids which only makes me better while I'm taking it.  While visiting family in Michigan my eyelids turned bright red and puffed up like mad.  I wanted to know why and I wanted to know how to fix it.  My in-laws told me about this holistic practitioner in Lansing that could run some tests and maybe figure some things out.  He uses urine, saliva, and blood to figure out whats going on inside your body.  It was super interesting.  I found out that while I am dealing with outdoor allergies (which I've known since I was 5) there was also some stuff going on inside my body so its like a double whammy.  I am now on a sugar free, gluten free, yeast free, dairy free, tomato free diet.  Yikes.    I know you're supposed to focus on all the things you can eat on a diet like this but since almost everything I usually eat has sugar or gluten in it, its quite the change. But if this fixes me it'll be more than worth it.  And maybe it'll get me in prime shape for swim suit weather....silver lining.


Oh and David and I decided he should try for Special Forces.  That's what he enlisted for, but he dropped his SF contract when he found out we wouldn't be able to get married on the date we had set.  If he gets selected after completing the initial 3 week training he would need to re-enlist and we would be moving to NC. 

 In all the unknown that is military life, it is so comforting to know I serve a never changing and omniscient God.
