Home

I arrived home from Africa on Friday night around 9pm...walked into my home by 10pm and took my first hot shower without a flashlight in 2 weeks, then passed out for 10 hours in my king-sized bed beside my husband who I missed terribly while I was away.  I was in heaven.  The trip was absolutely amazing, don't get me wrong, but boy, did I miss the comforts of home!  I was humbled by 17-year-old Hannah's comment while we were in Uganda..."we get to go home, but this is their (orphans) home."   I've come home a much more grateful and thankful believer, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.  Really, I am so blessed.

This is Jesse and I "before" Africa

This is the newest member of our family, Tony!  He is our Kenya baby and sponsored child.  That smile and his hugs changed my life.  I can't wait for Isaac to meet him some day.

And here I am with Jesse "after" surviving Africa...looks like we left our hearts and our beauty in Africa!!!

I'm still a little groggy and adjusting to being home.  I plan to blog more about the trip this week.  Stay-tuned!
