If you follow me on Instagram, then you’re probably aware I went to Boston this past weekend… you know, considering I flooded your feed with photos from my trip. ;) Well, if you can’t get enough, here are more for you to see. This is one of those posts that is more for me to reference and remember

Help for a Haitian Orphanage
On our last day before we left, we visited an orphanage near where we were staying in Titanyen. The orphanage is run by a couple, Yvon and his wife, who care for 46 children ranging from 1 to 15 years old in their very small home. Haiti is a dangerous country, especially for children, as kidnapping,

Global Outreach’s Work in Haiti, and How We Helped
Before I went to Haiti I knew very little about the ministry we were going to help and the work we were going to do. Well now, as someone who has spent a week with this organization, I seriously cannot say enough good things about Global Outreach, the people that run their mission, and the

The State of Haiti
Well, I’ve been back two weeks now, so it’s probably about time I write about this trip. There are so many things I want to write I don’t know where to begin. So I’ll just start typing away. This will likely be a few posts for me to brain-dump all I saw and all that we did.

Asheville Getaway
I’m pretty sure I’ve written about this before, but I LOVE ASHEVILLE. It’s one of my very favorite cities, and I have not-so-subtly told J I want to live there one day. J’s aunt and uncle live in Asheville and asked us to come and stay in their little cabin on their property. They live on

To Disney World I Go!
Guess what? Today I am heading to Disney World! In the infancy of our relationship, I was sitting around the dining room table with J and his family and casually answered “no” when asked whether or not I had ever been to Disney. Apparently that’s uncommon? They couldn’t believe I had never been. So this
