well... this is him!

Hey all! So I decided I would just let you in on my boy bc I see the poor antagonizing You You gets and well I'll spare you the trouble because a few of you already asked hehe! Anways he is amazing! His name is Gordon.. He is Jimmy's friend. When I came at Christmas Jimmy and him picked me up from the airport. I didnt know him yet at this point. Well he came over to visit Jimmy a lot and me being super close to Jimmy started asking questions(what can I say the guy is handsome!) Jimmy started making little conversation between the 2 of us and we just clicked. I can trust him with anything. He loves the Lord with all his heart and that is something so important to me. I am never one to get into a long distance relationship but something is differnt about him. In TONS of ways! And although marriage maybe an option someday down the road I am not ready for that yet(sorry to burst your bubble mama Angela) hehe. But yes this is Gordon and I must say I love him very much!

we kinda have a love/hate relationship.... right you you?

prayer request...

Hey all! So I am home and have posted some pictures... I will continue to post now that I can! Anyways I just wanted to ask for your prayers. I am having a really hard time being home. I have decided to take a semester off from my big university and just take a few classes at our community college and also work full time. I just feel like this is best for me right now... I just feel at a loss right now about everything... My boyfriend(yes he is haitian) really wants to come to study in the states... I am trying really hard to make this dream come true for him but it is not easy by any means... also I really have no clue about how to start the process or anything... I just wish I could snap my fingers and everything would fall into place.. for me and for him... but again though I have to come to the realization that life is not that easy and if you really want something you have to work for it... so please just pray that everything works out...
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. If anyone knows how to start the international school process I would love any info!

I miss you friend!

So I always post about how much I miss the kids... and it is true I miss them terribly.. but I have never posted about how much I miss you you when I am gone... you see you you and I are really close(well at least I like to think so hehe)... and we have a million inside jokes I could post about... really these pictures probably mean nothing to anyone but us... but oh well... anyways I just wanted to say I miss you Angela and I pray for you everyday and I love you like a sister!!!!

PS. I dont really miss the cats but they were kinda fun to kick around this summer..... CCCCAT!(take it as the meaning in creole.) :)

say a little prayer!

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

Pictures

Sorry still no pictures... I will try and post when I get home on the 16th! I have had yet another wonderful summer with your kids... Thank you for letting me love on them for you!!!!!

C'est la vie

Have you ever felt like you were living in two worlds? Two complete opposite worlds that you know will never combine? Well that's how I feel right now. I have my life here in Haiti and then I have my life In the states. This is hard. It is always hard for me to leave the comfort I have in Haiti... the comfort of the kids.... my good friend You You.... and yes my boyfriend. On the other hand I have my family back home... my mom... my sister... my nephew... and my granny. The only thing differnt is this time when I go home I will be going home to a completely new home. My mom moved this summer from the house I basically grew up in and I will be returning to a completely different city... a different neighborhood... and a new home. It is going to be hard. Everything about it.... and although I am a strong girl.... I am scared. I just wish there was a way I could combine my two worlds into one. But life is not that easy. So I will say my "see ya laters"(goodbyes) to everyone in Hait... and head back to the states because this is life and I know God is walking with me every step I take helping me to see the purpose he has for me... in both my worlds!
