On this special day, I want to thank three very special people.
First, I want to thank my mom for raising me, loving me, praying for me, and being my friend. Love you!
Second, I would like to thank my second mom (Tad’s mom) for being the best mother-in-law someone could ask for, and for welcoming into the family so completely. I love you too!
Third, I wouldn’t be a mom today if it weren’t for this sweet little girl who made me a mom almost nine months ago!
My sweet roommate from college (freshman year), Kristy, is going on an awesome mission trip this summer, and she could really use your support, both prayer and financial!
Kristy is going to Barakalo, Uganda (Northern Uganda) July 16-28 with Food for the Hungry.

Here’s what she says about her upcoming mission trip:
We will be working in a village that has been affected by the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army – Invisible Children) as well as AIDS. We will be doing some construction projects, meeting and working with sponsership Children (through Food for the Hungry’s child sponsorship program), helping to encourage those people who work in this village throughout the year, and building relationships and sharing Christ with these amazing people. I need $3700 so far I have about $1600 (40%)!!! I am supposed to have the money by Wednesday, BUT I was given an extention so they NEED the money by June 7th.
Visit the website for more info and to donate.
You can also check out the facebook group as well.
If you would like to be put on Kristy’s update list, you can email her here.
Thank you for supporting Kristy as she serves the Lord overseas!
Sorry I’ve pretty much abandoned my blog this week. Except I’m not really that sorry. I haven’t felt like blogging the last couple of days, and I haven’t regretted my decision at all!
Here’s what I have been doing:
-cuddling with my baby girl
-taking care of my sick hubby
-cooking from scratch
-baking bread
-cleaning bathrooms
-preparing for weekend company
-sitting in the sunshine
-and maybe wasting a little bit of time on Pinterest
What have you been up to this week?
