Back in Memphis

Well our travels have ended for now.  It was a whirlwind of a vacation, but it was much needed. It was so good to be around all our family and friends.  It's always tough coming back for me, because that means it's back to being home all by myself with Maddie.  It's especially tough now, after the burglary because I hate being in this house.  It was so nice to be away and be able to sleep and not be constantly anxious and paranoid.  
But, hopefully a few trips will be able to break up the boredom.  In February I plan on going to Haiti for a short trip with Hopegivers.  We will be hanging out with the orphans and painting some buildings.  If you want to know more about the trip, or would like to help financially support the trip, please let me know!  
March will bring a spring break girl trip to the Bahamas which I have been looking forward to since last March!  And I guess in April I'll have to try to make it back to Raleigh.  Then in just a few short months we'll be in Iowa for the summer.  I'm hoping 2009 goes very fast, because I am anxious to move back to NC and for Brandon to be done with school so we can finally settle down! 
I hope you all  had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Welcome "Home"! I am so happy to hear that you were able to sleep relatively peacefully while you were away. Hopefully the next few months will fly by and you will be in Iowa before you know it. It feels like an eternity since you lived in NC. Looking forward to your return =0)

We would love more information about you trip and financial needs. You can e-mail me at hazel22882@yahoo.com or facebook to let us know how we can contribute prayerfully and financially. We would love to spread the information to our small group, as well!
