Fingerprints and vegetarianism

We got our fingerprints done on April 4th, so now we're waiting to be put on the official waiting list. While we're waiting, we are doing other things. We just got back from Tulum, where I read Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals and where I committed to being a vegetarian. This is kind of a big deal for me. I tried it in college, but felt off and decided I needed to eat meat. After reading this book and learning about the cruelty committed against animals in order for us to eat them, as well as the environmental impact, and of course, the personal health implications, I decided I did not need to eat meat. I am trying to convince Noah and Sara that they don't need to eat meat either, but that's harder. We'll see how it goes.

So waiting and eating...vegetables. And trying to hold onto the lovely relaxation that I felt in Mexico...
