It’s been a while since I’ve written about Compassion on my blog, but if you know me, you know that I love this ministry and I love supporting them in what they’re doing for kids in poverty around the world!

10 weeks pregnant

It is with great joy and some trepidation that I announce that we are once again pregnant!

I am approximately 10 weeks along and impatiently waiting for my first appointment with my obstetrician in a couple weeks, as I am desperately longing to hear the heartbeat of this precious little one. The anticipated {Read More}

First of all, I wanted to share of the joy that we experienced for a short time as we celebrated the new life that was in my womb. Since I was late in getting my cycle, we decided to {Read More}

It feels like it has been really busy around our household for the last week and a half!  September 30th – purchased the iPhone 4 to help me stay on top of things at work and at home!  I’ve never owned an Apple product and haven’t had a cell phone for several years, so this has been a fun experience for me!  Joe teases me that I touch it more than I touch him, which is sadly probably true – {Read More}

Compassion International – Dominican Republic Trip

November 2, 2008 by Leave a Comment

This year, Compassion International decided to take six bloggers to the Dominican Republic to let them see and experience Compassion’s ministry firsthand and then blog about it.  I seriously wish I could’ve gone – I think it would’ve been an amazing and impacting trip, especially since we have a sponsored child, Yasmel, who lives there.  However, I will have to live vicariously through these bloggers as they share about what they see and how their lives are changed as a result.  {Read More}
