A Glimpse Into Rwanda 2015
Happy Tuesday, y’all! We had another busy but productive weekend. You know, the kind where you switch your fall and summer clothes out and spend most of the weekend cleaning house, doing laundry, and going to the grocery store? So nothing too exciting on our end to share. Except this one thing and I’ve been dying to share it for weeks (no, I’m not pregnant)… I’m not sure that I’ve ever mentioned this but one of Cory’s many talents is video production. He’s recently gotten into it a bit more and while in Rwanda shot footage to make a promotional video for RCRI. While he’s still working on the big video,…
Rwanda 2015 | Getting there, Day 1 & Day 2
Friday | September 11th Early Friday morning, like 12:00 am, we headed to the airport. Partly because our flight left at 6:00am and we couldn’t find anyone to take us to the airport at 3:00 in the morning and partly because we were trying to stay awake to get our time switched and we figured it would be easier in an uncomfortable airport.

Back to normal? Ha. More like survival mode right now. But I’m okay with that. I’ll fight the feeling of normalcy as long as I can. Each day, I think about what I’d be doing if I were still in Rwanda- driving the crazy streets of Kigali, belting out our favorite tunes or doing home visits in Nyabihu, probably. I have this theory that as long as I don’t unpack my suitcase, I won’t have to accept the trip is actually over. Drives Cory insane. Emotionally, it is hard being back. Harder this year than last. I had a friend asked if I was depressed and while I wouldn’t say full on…
Leaving on a Jet Plane
As you’re reading this, I’m on a plane to Rwanda! Yesterday was officially the longest day ever because I could hardly stand to wait any longer. I’m so ready to be in Rwanda and love on those sweet babies but right now I’m most excited about seeing my boy! We’ve been up all night, hoping to get our sleep schedules right and we are getting a little delirious! It straight up looked like we were moving to Rwanda but we checked in and got through security with no problems! Say a little prayer for safe travels, if you don’t mind. This will be the first time…
