Trishana

Yesterday I had a knock on my door and opened it to find Trishana!
I was very excited to see her and so thankful we had a few min. to catch up
and talk about life. I didn't get to see her for very long but I praise Jesus for the
time I did get. Today she is flying back to the states so I am asking for prayers on her
behalf. Please pray that she can make a smooth transition back again, and that she
is content and focused with this opportunity God has blessed her with.
Thanks so Much!

1st Team of the Year!

The First Team Picture

Breaking up concrete to put sand under the swings so
the kids have something softer to land on and are able
to use the swings again.... then Dayne flies off a swing over
the sand and still smacks his head on the concrete so the
swings are once again off limits!

Quick Post

The day after I got home (from the states) I was back down in Kingston for a great

week with Roger Stoller's team (post soon come). I am now back home again...

this time hopefully for a while. I am happy to say we (team Jamaica) got our

paperwork saying we are good to stay on the island. Hubers, Plattners, and

I are good until 2013, Blake was okayed for a year. Don't know why he

was singled out and only given a year but God knows best. I am now ready

to unpack after a month away, My house is in desperate need of cleaning,

I have been living on toast and water since I have gotten back and I am

hoping that changes tomorrow after a run to the grocery store. Lots of

laundry needs done, and LOTS of loving on my kiddos that I have not seen

in way to long.

I am SO BLESSED!

HOME!

After an extremely long travel day (aka day of prayer) I arrived safely home.

Travels where good...

A LOUD cheer went out as the plane landed safely in Kingston

then we got off the plane...

Blake was taken by immigration and questioned for hours

because he came in on a one way ticket (a BIG NO NO without

the right stamp in your passport) and they wanted

to put him on the next plane back to the states but

they talked to long and he missed it.

While they had him I went to collect all our bags

so they would not be taken away

O WAIT....

NOT ONE of our bags made it so then I spent more time filling

out paper work to get Blake, Ionda and My bags delivered

when they showed up at the airport.

After a couple hours Blake finally got through and the paper work

for our bags was done so we could leave the airport.

PRAISE JESUS!

There are no words to describe the great feeling of being at home last night

(mostly because of what we just went through)

AND

This morning I woke up to the SUN!!!!

Not this!!!!
or this!!!!

BUT,
I really really really
Miss this

Purdue...

This probably would have not been my first choice as a night out with friends:)

but...

we watched some of this...
this....

and this for an easy Purdue win.

while I enjoyed...

More Social Life

I had a great opportunity to sit down and really catch up with my beautiful Bj

I loved that I was able to do that missing her so much when I am away.

Kate and I were able to meet for lunch and talk for hours (LOVE IT!)

then we were off to walmart to do the daily errands before heading over to gridley to pick up the boys and eat pizza with the Ringgers and the Stollers

I got to see these two guys that bring so much fun to my life.

I was also excited to meet Josh's wife and Chris' fiance but neither came:(

Josh had a legit excuse for Julie since she was at home with friends

and he was kicked out of the house for the night. Chris.... had no

excuse and I think was just to ashamed of me to let me meet Kelsey. HA!

After supper we sat and talked for hours, poor Roger couldn't' stay

awake so they got on the floor to take a picture with him:)

Great friends I am hoping to see down here in FEB!!!!
Tuesday was Kristen's birthday so I spent the day painting the nursery
at their house, then we all went out as a fam to celebrate Adam and Kristen's birthdays
(one last time together as a fam before I flew out)
Wednesday morning after an hour of phone tag I was able to meet
Ellie for breakfast and catch up with her

Katie and I had been together a few times but had never gotten a picture

so when we dropped off Ionda on the way to Indy Wed. afternoon we finally

got our picture together. She is SUCH a fun girl!

Praise Jesus for Great Friends and Opportunities to See Them!
