Tickled

I just love animal expressions!!! They have such personality...

Sleepy Time (yawn)

We got new bedroom furniture! It is fabulous. I LOVE THE MATRESS!! It calls my name. Can't you hear it? We got the entire suite, including a king sized bed...Laaaaaaaaaaa! Here is a picture from the store's website:

What's really funny is that it is CRAMMED into our tiny little beroom. We're dreaming of having a larger home one day..... And almost half (seriously) of the furniture is in the spare bedroom since it won't fit in ours. Hilarious!!! We painted our bedroom "oatmeal" which is a light brownish color. I know, it sounds gross, but it really looks sharp. We love it!

Honduras on My Mind...

Isn't this beautiful? This picture was taken in Honduras. Bill and I spent time in Honduras the past two summers, and this week I've been thinking about the children weworked with in that beautiful country. We worked with kiddos in an orphanage in Talanga-Jalaca. This was taken on the road that leads to the children's home. The countryside is breathtaking...I've never seen grass and trees such a bright green over such a vast area. Entire mountains sparkle with brightness and life.



One of the children, Karen, took a liking to Bill. She had a horrible childhood before coming to the children's home. She endured much abuse and has come a long way. Hungry for attention, she latched on to anyone who showed her love. She is a precious little girl!








This is Sarita (Sara). She's the youngest at the orphanage. I wanted to scoop her up and take her home with me! She has a sweet, gentle spirit.










While we were in Honduras, we did several service projects. Our two main projects were builing a fence around the "Girls' Home," and making tables and benches for the classroom. Bill's gifts were a tremendous blessing for these projects!

Greetings!

Who knew that I would be posting a blog?! A new era...

Problem is, I don't know what to say! I don't have a precious little one to tell you all about; though I do wish I did! I long for a baby - can hardly wait to be a mom! I fell like it is what I was created to be: a mom. I think about it all of the time. Maybe sometime soon...

Well, I must go for now. Work awaits!

Until next time,

Me
