For 3 days, I ask [...]

The Beautiful Journey begins…..
After only 5 weeks of preparation, I found myself on a plane from Chicago to Port Au Prince (PAP). The only thing I really knew about the trip was I was going down with a team of nurses, a marine, a teacher, and a few others to care for those who had [...]

Good Afternoon Everyone!  It is cold and windy here in the Twin Cities and we even have a frost warning for tonight, gotta love Minnesota!  Really, you have to love Minnesota because if you didn’t, you couldn’t live here.

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, I am just floored at how upset I still am about our dog dying on Monday night.  It is hitting me a lot harder than I ever imagined it would.  It is crazy to me.

What a great day it has been the past couple of days here in Minnesota!  The calm before the storm.  We have had a great weekend and my children are on spring break this whole week.  I have nothing planned but, sometimes that is more fun.
