Happy Birthday Biruk

Easter 2011-Misrak and Micah's First Easter

Something so much on my Heart

Would you please promise to read this and than click over to the blog? Amy is a very dear friend of mine and she is one of those people you can count on even in the middle of the night. She is not fake and when she says she is going to do something, she will. The passion that she has for orphans I have never seen in anyone else. Her passion is put your money where your mouth is. Guess what, God has called her whole family to go on a long term mission to Guatemala (minus 2 college kids) to work alongside at an orphanage. They have sold their house at being on the market for just about a week (yes, with the way the market is looking) and they are ready to go. Since they are not getting church support like so many missionaries do, they have to raise the monthly support themselves. Even though I am about to ask you for money please still click on the link when you are done reading. If you can spare $25.00 a month that would be such a miracle but if you can't do that they would also appreciate a one time gift. After you see their video, you will understand why I am so passionate about Amy and her family.

Caffeine Withdrawals?

I decided to stop drinking coffee. Yeah, cold turkey. Have I told you that my most favorite drink in the world is coffee??? I love coffee. Little did I know that you have to stop slowly.. Haha, not me. Never in a million years did I think I feel like an addict. I had about 7 cups during the week and at least 10 cups on the weekends. I have been drinking coffee since I was 14. Anyways so last Sunday I stopped and immediately the same day I got migraine headaches that I couldn't even cure with Motrin, fatigue, wanting to sleep all day (actually I did fall asleep minutes at my desk), depression, IRRITABILITY, you name it. Today is Thursday, 5 days later and it is the first day I am feeling normal again. I just can't believe that coffee could have such an affect on a human body. Just blown away by it.

Amira's tooth

Yeahhhh Amira.. After nearly two years of having her 2 front teeth yanked out during oral surgery, Amira finally has her first tooth on the top come in. I cannot describe how proud she was when she first felt it. She is still touching it to make sure its still there. So cute.
