Here are a few things I want to tell you before I crawl in bed only to wake up in 5 hours!

Our dog got a hair cut today. You must go right now to Aaron’s blog and see before and after pics. Hilarious!
I read one of the BEST books I have ever read [...]

sonel.

Remember Sonel? He is a cutie pie of a little boy that lives at the Rescue Center in Haiti where our kids are. He’ll be flying to the states on April 29th and will be having surgery on his feet. Pray for his journey to America. Lori will be bringing him [...]

We’re in IBESR!!!

It is 5:15 am (way too early for anyone to be awake) and we are about to get two sleepy boys out of bed and put them in the car for a LONG drive to the great state of TEXAS.  I must share some great news with you that I got this morning …. we’re [...]

why Monday?

Why must every place I need to go today have to be closed on Monday’s?  Seriously why not Tuesday’s?
Just like me to wait until the last minute to do stuff though.
Deacon’s barber – closed today.  What is two more weeks with crazy big hair?
Driver’s license place to renew – closed today.  My license will expire [...]

the begining stages of packing

The packing has begun at our house.  For me packing for a big trip like this takes time.  I have to lay it all out in different sections and then survey it and then decide how it will all go in and where it will all go.  You have to take into consideration weight when [...]

Three cups of Tea

I finished THREE CUPS OF TEA yesterday.  I would have to say that although the book was hard for me at first I really enjoyed it and glad I stuck it out.  I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in social justice, education, and a great story of someone doing great things [...]

Happy 30th!

Aaron did something amazing this week!  He threw me a SURPRISE BIRTHDAY party!!!  My birthday is actually not until May 6th, so he completely surprised me!  I’ll be in Haiti for my birthday, which is kinda fun, but I also didn’t want a surprise party in Haiti.
Aaron had me completely surprised.  I had NO clue.  [...]
