An Attempt to Update My Blog....FINALLY!


I am horrible at working these pics into my blog entry...so until I learn, there will be no rhyme or reason to how they go in...how do I get my words to be next to the picture that I want them to be by?

So for now just be thankful that I have began updating my blog....yippee!







It has obviously been a long time since I posted new "stuff" on my blog...a few of you have tried to kindly nudge me along, but to no avail! Sorry for not being more on top of it ~ I have just been busy reading other blogs and not updating my own....;-)

There is no way anyone will read this one entry long enough for me to post everything that has happened in the last 2 months, so I'll post a few pics and a few updates a little at a time.

The biggest news is that I went to Africa the first week of May and was truly blessed by who I traveled with and by the friends we went to see. I traveled with Kelly Christian (left) and visited Kelly Vaughn and her family (middle). We had a week that was full of laughter, tears, fun, exercise, eating, more laughing, sweating (is it tears or sweat?), hugging, meeting new friends, experiencing a life other than what I know, learning that "life hurts" aren't just American...Satan attacks all nationalities, loving the rain, and even feeling a bit adventurous when the power went out (try making homemade pizza in the dark and 4 little angels being excited, hungry and wanting to be a part of the fun all at the same time...nonetheless pizza was on the table and everyone eating by the time Randy (KV's husband) got home!), being surprised by lizzards at every turn...in Benin they run around like squirrels...except we don't get squirrels in the house.

There are so many stories and I am going to do my best to tell as many as I can, but for now, I'll just post a few pics and make a plan for my future posts.

Blessings to all 4 of you who read my "Praises"!
