i know i am two days behind, but i think it is really neat to sacrifice something for forty days, ending on Easter, when Christ made the biggest sacrifice of all.
when trying to decide what to sacrifice, i went back and forth between a couple different things. after hours in thought (really only a few minutes), i decided i am going to give up ice cream for Lent.
i LOVE ice cream. there is nothing better. well, there actually is, but it is still pretty great! i am in love with iceberg shakes. they are huge and full of love! favorite: chocolate, chocolate chip, cookie dough. every time my mother and i order it (we split it because it is SO BIG), it is complicated trying to get them to understand that we want both chocolate chips AND cookie dough. dumb.
my second favorite ice cream creation has a recent development. audrey brought up some ice cream for a tv-watching party (how do people watch tv without ice cream, i know not), and it was AMAZING! Graeter's ice cream is originally from ohio, so obviously, i had never heard of it. a few of our friends that have lived in ohio always taked about it, but i never understood. until now. i don't know why it is so good, but it is great, and now carried at smith's!
the black raspberry chocolate chip is to die for.
last, but certainly not least, my love for sub zero: pumpkin, dark chocolate, pecans. there is something about the experience of sub zero that makes it so much cooler (literally) than getting ice cream at other places. i turn into a little kid while i watch them make it, and i am not ashamed to admit that.
starts like this:
then turns into this:
how cool! not my flavor, but a sweet picture!
this will be super hard, but my sacrifice will be nothing compared to the one Christ made for us!
