In Reponse..

This post is in response to funches who asked when we were leaving which is a question I have gotten a lot.
Andrew and I, along with Dawn Carter are leaving for East Africa early morning on Thursday, December 4th.  We will get back on December 15th.
And yes, I am hoping to have internet access and [...]

I’m in Fresno

…and I forgot my camera.  I hate that.  Of all the things I am notorious for forgetting… its my camera.  So I don’t have any pictures to show but our trip so far has been really great.  Spent 2 night at Andrew’s parents’ house and now we are at mine.  Had our annual Friend’s Thanksgiving [...]

Africa Fundraising Update #3

Here is where we are at with our fundraising:  With all the help of our amazing family and friends (and some people coming out of the wood-works), Andrew have raised about $4,500.  Amazing!  We still have $2,300 to go and we have 7 days left.  Please believe that God takes care of those who give [...]

Never Before

Never before would I ever think that I would get a fake christmas tree.  But this year, since Andrew and I are going to be gone for most of December, we decided that, in order to make it worthwhile, we needed to put up our Christmas decorations early.  This means getting a fake tree.  I [...]

I don’t know why

I don’t know why I like this commercial, but I do.  There are 2 things that tell me Christmas is coming: red starbucks cups and this hersheys kiss commercial.  Both bring me bliss.

They shut off their brains today

After a 4 day weekend, I felt like my students had shut off their brains.  I am a little nervous because they had a test tomorrow and they acted like I had never taught them how to find the volume of an irregularly shaped object!!! (you put it in water and see how much the [...]

I had a Dream

Its my day off and I slept in until 9am.  It was awesome.  I had a dream that I went to Sea World and got picked from the audience to touch a killer whale at one of the shows.  At one point I jumped in the tank to save a kid who had fallen in. 
Just [...]

I gave my shoes away

A pair that I really liked.  Actually, its the pair of shoes I am wearing in the banner picture at the top of this page.  Last night, Pastor Matt gave a message about caring for the poor and reminded us that if we own even one car, that puts us in the top 5% of [...]
