Happiness is a purfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

  Guys I bought a camera. I've been agonizing over it for weeks...and have finally bought one. I'm really excited, and I really like it so far. I've only taken like, 3 or 4 pics and nothing worth while (cept for the one of Kevin, hardy har har), and I'm hoping it will take nice pics and all after they're developed.

  I'm gonna post some pics of Guaimaca. They make me feel pretty homesick, but I've been meaning to do it for days, and never have. So here goes!

There's my home town!! You like?

Another one...don't even know where this one was taken from...since I'm stealing pics again!!

Sorry I only got two. My (or should I say Jewel's?) other ones simply refuse to get bigger. They're so small, you can't even see what's in the pic. (grrrr...)

  I believe in the sun even though it doesn't shine,

  I believe in love even when it isn't shown,

  I believe in God even when he doesn't speak. --found on wall of concentration camp

  Have you guys ever felt like you're in a war? Every time you seem to be recovering from a wound, you get hit with an even bigger bullet...know the feeling? I just got some bad news, and I really feel totally powerless to do anything about it. I just wanna proclaim that God is still awsome, and I really can't wait to see how he's gonna work this one out. I hope he does something soon, though, cuz I'm not the only one suffering, and...well, I need not go into detail. Just wanted to ask you guys to pray for me and all my family in Honduras rightnow....you know, if you happen to think of it. God is so good, and I know he has a purpose in pain, and he'll never let something hurt us for no reason, but I'm having issues with all of it. I need to be more accepting, patient, and that sort of thing. And I also need to go to bed before this gets any more morose. Thanks all of you for praying...

This is my beloved mother. We had a lot of little beggar kids coming out from Guaimaca, and they got to be kinda a pain, but it woulda been mean to make them go away with nothing, so my mom brainstormed and came up with the perfect solution...she made them go away, but told them to come back on Saturdays. They did, and this is what she'd do. She would take Bible bedtime stories in spanish out and read a story to them...then she'd take them in on the porch and let them have a feast of a snack, then they were aloud to go play on the awe-inspiring trampoline for the rest of the afternoon. It got to the point where she'd go into Guaimaca and even pick them up then take them back in the afternoon. A regular taxi service! Don't I have the coolest mom? Hey mom, are you still doing it?

There's a pic of my mountain. I miss him so much! Waaaa!

We are born wet, naked, and hungry. Then things get worse.  --unknown

 People, I'm so excited! I figured out how to put music on my site all by myself. Aren't you guys proud of me?? Listen to them...atleast the starts...then you can tell what kind of music we listen to all the time in Honduras. It brings back WAVES of memories!! I can close my eyes and see all the things I miss so much around our house...and wow! It's really bitter-sweet.

  I made a discovery--swiss miss hot chocolate, cherry pie, and Stephen Bly are a really good combination when you're bored. I still think Stephen Bly is a woman though. No self-respectin guy could write books like that and still sleep at night. The women are way too in control...anyone care to disagree?

This one I stole off of your site, Mabes. I miss you so much, girl. I love this pic...it almost made me cry when I first saw it--brings back so many memories. Jeiran is so adorable.

And here is the wonderful-est (is that a word?) brother in the whole world with his gorgeous girlfriend. Love you, bro, and Vane, I miss you so much.

  Guys, I feel like such an idiot. I went and did that thing twice cuz I figured I could just cut the first one, cuz I didn't like it. Sorry...I'll get it after a while.
