I am sitting here thinking about how crazy the past week has been and I just realized that it has been exactly one week since I arrived back in Haiti. That means it has been 1 week since I have seen my wife and daughter, 1 week since I began firming up plans for which houses […]
As you probably know if you keep up with the All Things New blog, we are moving our children off of the Hope Rising campus and we have been trying to find a rental house since we made the decision to move. When transitional times come, no matter what type of transition it is, there […]
I know there have been a lot of posts with similar titles lately, but the truth is I am just not that creative. I am just sitting in the JAX airport at 5:30 this morning waiting for my flight to board and I wanted to put up a blog post about the trip and about […]
I started this blog while I was sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport and I am now finishing it as I sit waiting at jury duty in Jacksonville. I was basically finished with it in Fort Lauderdale when the airport lost wifi. That is not that big of a deal, usually I just copy and […]
As you can imagine, the Christmas party was awesome! It was just a lot of fun and I cannot even explain to you how joyful the kids were. In fact, today’s blog will be almost all pictures of the party just so you can see some of their faces. Also, one more pretty funny story about […]
I know it is almost February, but we are having our All Things New Christmas party tomorrow! Now, before I get started with the rest of the blog, I want to make sure everyone is aware of the 2 fundraising initiatives we have recently begun as we target different audiences with each. A sponsorship drive. […]
Many of you have received the latest All Things New email informing you that we will no longer be staying on the Hope Rising campus. If you did not receive that email, please click here to read prior to reading the blog. Initially, we knew that our time at Hope Rising could be temporary. They […]
Being here without Jess and Sophie, no matter how many other people are here, can be pretty lonely. If you are lucky enough to be married to someone that you both love and like (especially when they are your best friend) you know what I am talking about. When you get finished with a long […]
I am not sure why, but for some reason I really want to post this blog about what happened to me running today. I will give away the main point of the post right here…I fell completely to the ground twice! It was really embarrassing and I don’t know why I am posting this to […]
It is so strange to be writing this blog from Haiti again while Jess and Sophie are back in America without me. I have said this before, but I have no idea how military families do it. It is such a huge sacrifice that I could have never comprehended before I had to leave my […]
It’s been a while since our last blog, but we are back at it now that the holidays are over. As you know, 2015 was a crazy year for All Things New, for Jess and I personally, and for our kids in Haiti. We added a new member to our family (Sophie), we moved our […]
I’m sitting at the airport in Port Au Prince now about to fly back home to be with Jess and Sophie. I have been away for about 10 days now, and I am really excited about seeing how much Sophie has changed. At the same time, I am really sad that I am leaving the […]
