Oh Hey, Friday!
Oh hey, Friday! Weren’t you just here??? The countdown is on for our trip to Rwanda…17 days! {holy cow!} If really you know me or have followed along the past year, you probably know that I’m an extremely last minute packer. As many Type A tendencies as I have, organizing and packing for a trip just aren’t ones I posses. But I can’t handle that stress on top of taking not only myself, but a team, out of the country. In an attempt to stay on top of my game, I’ve started making lists. List of things to pick up, list of what will be in my make up bag,…
Life Lately + Weekending
How the heck is it already August??? I know, for a fact, we were just starting July a few days ago. And then I blinked. Y’all, life has been crazy this summer. It seems that we live and breathe Barnabas X and Rwanda now {we are about 5 weeks out from our trip…eek!}.

I’m embarrassed to say the majority of this stuff came out of our cars. Needless to say, after sorting through it all, filling up the majority of our office with the stuff we’re keeping and loading my car back up with stuff we have to return tomorrow, we were exhausted. Actually, we’ve been exhausted since Friday morning {we had…
Thursday Thoughts & Five on Friday
It’s been a crazy week of me playing catch up, at work and at home, and unfortunately I just haven’t had the time or desire to work on this little dot com space of mine. But I want to write {which is so weird for me!}. I need to get all these little thoughts that have been floating around in my head down on paper blogged and thought it would be the perfect opportunity for a completely random Thursday thoughts/Five on Friday post. Please excuse the fact that my title says five because I’m breaking the rules a little today. linked with darci, christina, natasha and april 1| My mama is normally…
