    Rwanda 2018 | Days 2 & 3

    Welcome back! I’m so glad you’re here to read about our first few days at Nyabihu Christian Academy. The first few days at the school, especially for new team members, is almost indescribable. They are almost overwhelming but overwhelming in the best possible way. These are often the days when the deep relationships form and the team members find “their kid” and those are moments you never forget.

    Rwanda 2018 | Traveling, Arrival, and Day 1

    Well, well, well. Here we are again- back again to start recapping our July 2018 Rwanda trip.  I debated on not recapping this trip because life has been so busy the past year and we are just days away from our 2019 Rwanda trip.

    Mountain Getaway 2018: Franklin

    Every Christmas, my family takes a mountain trip. In the past, we’ve always gone after Christmas but due to work schedules, we went last weekend before the holiday. We’ve tried a few different places over the years like Lake Lure, NC, Dillard, GA, and this year, we headed to Franklin, NC. My dad typically finds a house on AirBnB and this year he found the cutest remodeled farmhouse. It had a ton of history, dating back to the early 1900’s, which is right up Cory’s alley.
