The Huguenins in Haiti: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Well.... 15 years ago at this time of day I was doing something very different. I was probably firing the D.J. at our wedding and trying to cram all of my wedding day expectations into the last hour of our reception. Though, I definitely have A LONG WAY to go, when I think of the woman I was on June 28, 1997, I can see a huge difference between the expectation filled wife I was on day one and who I am today. By God's grace he gave me a patient and understanding husband in Jason and I am thankful for and feel pretty underserving of the life I'm living today. I never would have imagined then that we would celebrate our 15th anniversary sleeping in the same room as our children, glowing with sweat, having dinner with 8 twenty-somethings sitting with us at the table and celebrating with a rousing round of Happy Anniversary to You sung at the top of their lungs followed by $10 per gallon ice cream. It was PERFECT!

Jason is feeling better than yesterday, but looking forward to being back to full health. Thank you for continued prayers.

Today was a stay home day. It was nice to do some laundry, go to the market, and run errands for the house. I LOVE that sort of thing. Right now it is pouring down rain and we are waiting for a break in the storm to go "home" for the night. We are staying at the World Wide Village staff home which is a quick walk from the guest house. Here are pictures of our anniversary morning room situation and anniversary celebration, as well as a photo of the Minnesota team that left today and Brooklyn finding a butterfly. It had a broken wing, so being the practical girl that she is, she named it Broken.
