I really miss my family!

There is a Barlow Girl song called Here’s My Life that pretty much sums up how I feel every time I finish furlough and go back on the field.  For many reasons, this past furlough has been the most difficult time to return, so I find myself re-listening to this song and reminding myself why [...]

WII Testing

Thanks to everyone who donated money for the WII Fundraiser, the dream has become reality.  I picked up the WII when I was over on the east side of the state earlier this week, so we decided that we just HAD to test it out before I take it back over with me. Here are [...]

Trains, Planes, and Automobiles

I have used all three forms of transportation this past week, 4 planes, 1 train, and various autos.  Travel can be an exhausting pastime, but essential part of my life.  I only wish that I could somehow manage to combine the three types together.
I like the speed and obviously the travel distance able to be covered [...]

I ❤ Boots

If you didn’t know before, you know now…. I love boots!
Moving to Israel only allowed me to only bring the necessities with me, which also meant only bringing one pair of boots with me and leaving a whole tub full behind.
This morning my nephew went out to the shed where all my tubs are and [...]

10 Days and Counting

Only 10 more days till I leave for Israel!  There is part of me that feels like I’ve been back in the states forever, and ready to leave; while there’s another part of me that screams…”yikes, only 10 more days!”

Props to my daddy

Last night I went to my dad’s class as an observer (not an evaluator).  He is teaching a Religions of the World class at the Bible School our church has.  Incidently, the topic of the night was Judaism, which was a nice tie-in to my leaving for Israel. Anyways, I was able to see him [...]

Dining with friends

Last night I was invited to my friend, Jackie’s house, for a get together dinner with her team who recently went to Botswana.  The cherry on top was that another friend, who was a missionary at LBOM too, was also coming. Their family actually now lives close to where my parents live, so we were [...]

Yummy, yummy in my tummy

I have to pat myself on the back for a first in my life.  Yesterday I made blueberry muffins for the FIRST TIME!  I’m not a cook, nor do I aspire to be, but I must say… those muffins were good!  Maybe I’ll branch out and try this cooking thing more often.  I know my [...]

My Mom’s Zebra

My mom thought I should have posted this before the messy room, so I better get on it.  I received a facebook message Sat. night from her saying that she was on a bike ride and saw a zebra in someone’s fenced-in yard with their horses.  At first I doubted and thought she was messing [...]

Caution: The following images might be unsuitable for sensitive eyes

Even though I’ve been staying with my sister, I feel like I’ve been living out of my suitcase for the past couple of months.  I have travelled quite a bit, but that still does not excuse my untidiness.  The other day I reached my breaking point and decided to FINALLY organize and clean up the [...]

Taco Bell has a new promo taco called the Volcano Taco.  We saw a commercial the other night for the new taco, which was made out to be this burning, spicy, blow steam out of your head type of hot.  Micheal and I decided to have a Volcano eating contest. We would both eat the [...]

Not another coffee blog….

Yep! It’s another coffee blog, so go grab a cup and join me…
Normally, I am a coffee with sugar drinker only.  I am lactose intolerant, so cream isn’t an option for me, but Africa also had an impact on my coffee drinking.  There are no froofy-schmoofy flavors to choose from in Maun, Botswana, if fact…there’s [...]
