Our Blessed Reunion

Hey! i'm back! ok i've been back for a while but needed to gather my thoughts. I'm pretty sure their all gathered. We'll find out soon enough...

The second i leaped (not gracefully) out of the TA van i ran around and went threw the kitchen to see the kids, which was retarded because they were all heading toward the front door to greet us. But without thought i swung little 'chicken-pox head' Nata into my arms. The love was overwhelming, powerful, like someone just slapped me acrossed the face but for some reason it didn't hurt. Thats how i always feel in Haiti, its one of the many reasons why i love Haiti so much. I had a great time with the all the kids but those are just posts of their own all togther!!

Here are my favorite pictures that i took while there. don't worry these are only 36 of the 180!!

Steven was really funny when i first saw him. I was holding Hope as he walked by.
"Hey, Steven", i yelled.
"Whoa!", was his response after his mind fully processed who i was!
Haha! evidently this resulted in hugs & kisses.

You can count on many more posts & pictures very soon!!

Adrenaline is Racing Threw my Veins...

Less than 48 hours until i'm in Haiti.... I feel like i didn't have the last couple days, like the adrenaline is throwing the days i have before i go away from me -not that thats completely a bad thing. I still have to pack, i should probably clean my trashed room before i leave, i have to do my homework (i know that should be the first on my list), and my mom is probably going to make me sit down for dinner -not a bad thing to do but right now kind of hard. Yeah, its been hard for me to stay still. This completely threw my algebra teacher off today. And after every sentence i type for this post i have to get up and do something productive. Sad, but very true.

Well i'm steppin' out of Blog Land today, and steppin' onto a plain to Haiti in... 1 day, 19 hours and 19 minutes. I'm not sure if i'll be able to update you guys while in Haiti, but you can count on many posts when i get back!! I want to thank you guys sooo much for your support while i was mourning to go back and while waiting for February 23rd to arrive.

You can be sure that your kids will be loved on!! ;)
BYE, EVERYONE!!!

Anti-Valentine's Day

I’m sorry but I really don’t like Valentine’s Day. Why do you need a special, dedicated day to love if you already have 365 days to do so? Well, that’s just my headstrong, stubborn, rebellious opinion. Honestly, I'm just not that found of it. And it’s one of those national holidays on which we still have to go to school. I don’t know, its just all the pink, flowers, hearts… it was a good idea but when your 13th Valentine’s day comes around its nothing but a provider of nauseating feelings & Advil. I guess I just don’t fully understand its meaning. People have weddings & anniversaries, but can someone tell me why we need another “lovey-dovey” holiday?? Don’t take this the wrong way; I don’t suddenly turn pessimistic on this particular day. Actually, I haven’t even shared my opinion on the holiday before. (This is the first Valentine’s Day that I have a blog to express such opinions). I put on a smile, wear a pink shirt and pray that the day would come to a close in peace & my tolerance level wouldn’t be exploding to an unhealthy high.

However, it is highly entertaining watching all the girls at school making sure they look flawless & beautiful to impress those of the oppisite sex. i can't help but laugh!! Oh you silly, silly girls, i constantly chuckle under my breath. So, its not that i hate Valentine's Day, i just that i enjoy it for all the wrong reasons. :)

Anyway, I really do hope you’ll have a great Happy Valentine’s Day!!

~i got this picture from a book Megan sent my mom about jokes on Bible stories. Thanks Megan!!~
