Love Soup and a sunset.

Ahhh.

Jon and I got home late Saturday night from a delicious beach vacation. We thought it absolutely necessary to take a vacation from vacation before the school year started again. I am not going to take the time to write about it in full now, because I have to go to the grocery store. I am making either "Quinoa Stew with Potatoes, Spinach, and Chard" or "Butter Bean and Summer Vegetable Soup" for dinner tonight. Either way, I have to go to the store because we have no potatoes, spinach, chard, or butter beans, and very little in the way of summer vegetables (do canned green beans and corn count?!). I got this book from the library and I am so excited to make soup. I think it's a huge comfort food, and I love it. This will be my first try at soup, and I hope there will only be a few disasters.

Until the dinner experiment is over, this will be the only picture I will post from our trip to Bradenton. A beautiful sunset, because the few pictures I actually took of us are either bad or of Jon making funny faces.

I sure hope that my photo-taking desires, skills, etc. grow and improve by the time we have babies. I'm pretty awful!

Well, I'm off to shop for soup ingredients. Wish me luck!
