In anticipation...
Saturday I will be leaving for seven days, with a group of 15 from my church (and 35 more from Portersville Christian School) to serve in the Dominican Republic. We will be doing many different things such as medical help, dental, optical, vacation bible school and possibly painting a mural! I'm really excited about the optical part for some reason. We've been trained to figure out ones prescription, and fit them with glasses! Some of these people will be seeing with a new set of eyes for the first time in their lives. It's going to be amazing. Please if you are the praying type, keeps us in mind. To God be the glory!
Here are a few pictures taken during the trip last year.
I wasn't a part of it then, but we'll be in the same area, doing the same things.
The town. Hato Mayor.
The way we will travel.
Our living facility.
The scenery.
The beautiful faces. . .
The team.
March 31st - April 7th
Thank you so much for all your prayers and support!

It's the little things.
❤ I've been running into lots of little things that make me so happy!!! ❤
Found this randomly in the middle of the road!
These "cuties" have the best peel stickers!
Neko, made himself comfortable on my side of the bed.
Somehow the puppies know when I'm about to take the on a walk.
Patiently waiting...or impatiently waiting.
Love plants with pink in the leaves!
I can't believe how the trees have bloomed...two months early!
A random sunset while driving.
Birch trees. Love them!
Hope you can stop for a moment today, and find something amazing.

Thoughts of home...this town called Butler.
This is my home. Butler, Pennsylvania.
I shot this simple picture with my iPhone while I was out for a run. I decided to run up the stairs of a nearby parking garage...and when I did, this is what I found. When I posted it to facebook, so many people were commenting, saying it was such a beautiful picture...and that it almost made Butler look "magical." It got me thinking about this place I live. A lot of people hate Butler with a passion. Everyone wants to "get out of here" as soon as they can. Don't get me wrong, I do want to live somehwere else at some point in my life for the sake of adventure and experience. In the end, Butler will always be my home. Sure, there a lot of broken people here, but won't you have that anywhere you go? Doesn't a broken town only mean that it needs you more? Doesn't it cry out for people who will make a difference? A town will only be what YOU make of it. I could live in the biggest, most fantastic city, but still be miserable for any number of reasons. For now, I choose to love this town called Butler, and I choose to love everyone in it.

Blog facelift...finally!!!
While Katie was here the other day doing the 50's photo shoot, I had her take a few for me!
I am SO happy with them...she's so talented!
Since I finally had something to work with, I thought it was time for a blog facelift.

What can I say....
I'm feeling badly how I haven't been able to post much lately. I've been working so hard with several things that happen on a daily basis. It's consumed me. Daily drawings...Daily crafting/painting, Daily exercise...Daily housework...Daily dog walks...Daily work work work. It clearly has left me with now time or brainpower to post. Somehow I need to get back to it, even if it's simple.
In the meantime, enjoy this picture of an awesome mailbox I saw. ^_^
