…w years ago I was able to go on my first mission trip to Haiti, the very next year I brought Jo along. He was 10 at the time. I loved seeing him connect with kids from the other side of the world and I love how he came home understanding that there is a bit more to life than video games and new Lego sets. He’s since been to Haiti and Belize and this year Danielle and Sara are joining us on our trip to Belize! We will be helping build a…

…shed the season 4-8, 2-6 in conference play, don’t let anyone say you guys aren’t winners! All my winners will get a 16×20 print of their winning image except Leigh & Tong.

I decided he should get a GIANT 20×30 print so that all his kids could marvel at the beauty of his cake and maybe cheat a little…

…over it. But something kept nudging him until he finally told me his thoughts. I didn’t want to hear it, believe it, or understand it. I basically just ran away, ran out of the apartment, to my car, called my best friend and cried the whole way home and weeks after. I thought this couldn’t be real.

…bracket. I have listed a few ideas/rules for you to try out. 1. Only pick one round at a time. That way you get a fresh start and are always still “in” the game. 2. Set up the prizes ahead of time. You can do a general 1st and 2nd place prize or be more specific and say if you win you get this and if he wins he get that. 3. If you see him turning into a competitive “guy” then just let him win and know in the back of your mind that you are…

I have interviewed tons of past brides AND grooms and will be posting some of their answers as well as talking about some of the myths of why it may or may not be “bad luck” to see each other before you walk the aisle. So, just to get warmed up, here…
