As you will come to learn, Christian and I have a strong desire and a heart to do mission work. Last April, Christian, myself, and 10 other guys and gals from our church went to Jacmel, Haiti. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. I mean like, really freaking amazing. Some day soon I'll post pictures of the trip. Here's one of Christian on his second trip to Jacmel...

While I love Haiti and the people there, this post is about something completely different. This year we had the opportunity to go to India with some other folks from the church. After much prayer and deliberation, we decided to turn it down. We knew we needed to devote our time off from work to spend time with Christian's family. Because we live far away from all of them, we don't get as much time with them as we'd like.
Today, in approximately 5.5 hours, I will be picking his mom Ruth, and niece, Maria, up from the Atlanta airport. So excited! They are spending 9 days in Chattanooga with us, then we are all flying down to St. Petersburg, FL to visit his brother Jacques and his soon to be wife, Melinda. If you didn't know, my in-laws are awesome. We always have way too much fun during our visits...

We are so looking forward to their visit. It's been too long! Really wishing that Shelly was going to be here too. She is the best sister both to Christian, and now to me. There's something so special about in-laws; especially these ones.
