Hope you all had a fun (and safe!) Halloween! I got to spend the day with my family… and this cute little lion! I just love my nephew. :) The highlights of Brody’s Halloween night:
1) Getting a new flashlight.
2) Hanging out with a few of his favorite people… mommy & daddy,...

Little lion!
Cool guy.
Where do I even begin with this blog post? Lukey is my little buddy. Although he was very stubborn and didn’t make his appearance into the world until 2 days AFTER I had left for Thailand for a month… I’ve since forgiven him for that. ;) I’ve watched him grow from...
Burkina Faso | Meeting my sponsor child…
While I was in Burkina Faso, I decided to sponsor a little girl there! I can’t even describe what it was like to meet this little cutie. I think I was expecting to feel some sort of ‘do-good-humanitarian-pat-myself-on-the-back-warm-and-fuzzy-feelings’… but no. Instead, all I really felt was that it was an honor for...
Jet lag…
So far the jet lag hasn’t hit me! I always do this ‘mind-over-matter’ thing when it comes to jet lag… I will NOT let it take over me. :) Just got back to the US last night, so I’ll be recouping for a few days, getting back to a few emails, working...
Burkina Faso | Day 1
Just a few shots from yesterday…
From Africa…
Hello friends! Day one of my trip to Burkina Faso has been so great! I’m a bit tired right now, about to crawl into bed… but here’s a short synopsis of my day here today:
*Starting today, I’ve decided to sponsor a 6-year-old girl from Burkina (through Compassion)… and today, I got to meet...
I’m going to Africa again!
So excited about this trip! I leave tomorrow, stopping for a few days in Colorado (to visit family & also for a few photo shoots)… then next week we’ll be heading to Burkina Faso! I’m not sure how often I’ll have internet access during this trip, but I’ll try to updated the blog...
My nephew has a girlfriend.
Now… pretty much all of my close girlfriends all have babies… and THREE of these friends each had a girl last year, within a few months of my nephew. I’m pretty sure all three of the moms may have claimed Brody as their future son-in-law, and are hoping for an arranged marriage, so we’ll...
Beauty…
I was on a bike ride last week, and when I came across this scene, it made my heart skip a beat. I’m not sure if you can tell, but these white flowers are growing right next to a bunch of dead plants that were black, brittle, and even had cobwebs plastered all over...
Leap of Faith
Last week I was able to take a much-needed family vacation! My whole fam traveled Northern California to watch my brother graduate from the Defense Language Institute’s intense 1.5-year program (where only half of the students actually finish!)… my little bro is fluent in Arabic, and he’s now awaiting his next orders. We’re...
