Rob and I have been in Kenya since Christmas Day and it’s been a lot of fun since we got here. We were able to do a safari and now we’re in Nakuru for a Christian student conference for students from all over the continent. The people have been so nice. I’ve interacted mostly with [...]

Happy Christmas Eve at 12:34 am!
Today Rob and I leave for Kenya for 10 days. Not a vacation but a mission trip. We’ll land in Belgium on Christmas morning, and fly all day to Kenya. I probably won’t blog much, if at all until we get back the first week of January.
I’m still up [...]

It’s been a long day for me that started earlier than normal. But it’s been a good day. You know what the best part of my day has been?
Coming home and smelling our real (but dead) Christmas tree! It smells so good.

My house it a mess.
Yesterday was a long busy day.
Today I’m super fatigued.
My dilemma:
Do I go to the gym because it might make me feel better?

This is my couch. It currently seats one.
This is the 3 inch tear in the couch cushion that needs to [...]
