I am not 100% sure why I am starting this blog but I plan to use it to keep in touch with people and give my sons something to remember their dad by someday. Hopefully it will be a good reflection of who I am and what I strive to be. Enjoy!

Wish List
Here we are! In the final stretch before our first ever visit to Haiti. We will be leaving Wednesday night and coming back soon after on Sunday night. A great trip, but much too quick. We will be meeting the children at Giving Hope Rescue Mission and taking part in lots of fun activities. They will be having birthday celebrations, time on the beach with the kids and just a lot of loving on all of these special little folks!
Since this is our first time traveling to Haiti we are excited but also nervous. There are a lot of people that have helped coach us through this maiden voyage and yet the uncertainty of it all still leaves a knot in my stomach. Maybe it's nerves but more it is probably just straight up Excitement for what God has in store.
We have asked you all for a lot of prayers and support and we thank you immensely for that! Without you we certainly would not be at this point in the journey and we owe you all more than we could ever repay!
Dancing with the Staff was a great time and a big success! Our current garage sale is going great and it is fun to share our story with so many strangers! And the pure randomness of God providing is unbelievable!!
It is all crazy!!
But like I said we are leaving on the 15th and are wrapping our heads around the trip. One thing that we keep hearing and getting are requests from the orphanage in regards to their needs. Unlike us they do not have the luxury of running down the street to a Target or WalMart. If they need something they generally have to ask someone to bring it with when they visit. And we are taking this opportunity to ask for them!!
This time it is ALL ABOUT the people that take care of these incredible kids!
We are filling four large suitcases with supplies and other requests from the missionaries and the children. If you have any desire to drop off any of the items listed below please let us know as soon as possible so we can pack things in the best possible way!! We hope to have our big bags packed Monday night so we can enjoy our boys on Tuesday night!
Some of the items requested:
Soccer balls
Basketballs
Balls can be used or new and we will flatten then before we go
Beef Jerky
Fruit Snacks
Dried Fruit
Prepackaged snack foods that won't melt
Hard Candies
Lotion
Baby Formula-Up and Up- Found at Target
Diapers
Baby wipes
Bibs
Clothespins- wooden
Snake for a toilet- This one should be new, ha
Thank you and God Bless!
