Their hearts belong to ETHIOPIA

Today my sister and brother-in-law boarded a plane to Ethiopia to meet their son for the very first time. It has been such an amazing journey to see them seek the Lord and know that He ultimately had every aspect of their family in his hands! I can't quite figure out how to put into words the joy that they have as well as the joy that their son brings to their family. We all love him deeply though we have never met him. I can't wait for them to bring him home!!!

Prayers please - for their travel and the time they get to spend with their son during this week in Ethiopia.

RI has the best people!

So I am a little biased because RI is where Donna lives and I love her dearly, but I have to say that RI has the nicest people I have ever met. So this afternoon, I tried to order flowers from my trusty RI florist to find out that they are CLOSED! This in itself is extremely sad, as I feel like I know them personally from our conversations over the years but either way CLOSED...so I went on the hunt for another trusty florist and remembered their cousin store...I called them, they had great ideas for my flowers but sadly don't deliver. They asked if they could call me back and sweet Gigi called a few minutes later to tell me that she would deliver them herself. What a sweetheart! She then called me about 30 minutes later to tell me about her creation, that's new...and she's going to give me another call once she has delivered them safely. How nice can one person be, I love RI!
