I’m so glad to be back and catching up in the blogging world.  I hope you all had a great week while I was gone!  The real reason I had to take a week off from blogging was because J and I were on a mission trip last week with a team from our Church to Haiti.  It was amazing!  We only had electricity in the evenings and mornings for a couple of hours and definitely no Internet, so blogging was not an option.  I have to admit, it was nice to be without electronics for one week and realize the world still goes on.  🙂 Words cannot express the beautiful time we spent there and Haiti will always hold a special place in my heart.  Our Church has partnered with Alex’s House, a local orphanage in Port Au Prince, and as of right now they have about 26 precious kids that we got to love on last week.  Our main goal was to help with construction for the new orphanage which will be located in Kaliko Beach, out of the city, which is also where we stayed.  Haiti is a breath-taking place for many reasons–a lot of beautiful land and beaches, but there’s even more poverty and devastation.  I usually don’t share many personal details on my blog because I like to keep the focus on other things, but I thought I would give you a quick recap of the week!
