Back to Normal?
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…
Happy 30th Birthday, My Love!
Happy 30th birthday, Cory! My best friend, my travel partner and my forever. I’m so lucky to call you mine! You are the most caring, loving, loyal husband I could have ever asked for and I hope you have the best birthday ever. You deserve it!

Kitchen Renovation- Unfinished Reveal

Happy 5th Annivesary
On this day, five years ago, with my dad by my side, I walked down the aisle and vowed to do life with my sweet boy. The best decision I ever made was to walk by Cory’s side. How in the world it’s been five years is beside me. I blinked and it’s been half a decade. Over the past five years, Cory and I have grown so much as individuals and as a couple. I never imagined we would be celebrating, for the 2nd year in a row, in a country that we both adore. A country that we’ve poured so much into and a country that has helped us mature our own…
