I'm Home!

[HeadMutha]

Hello my friends! It has been too long! I am home and finally back on California time. The time difference is 11 hours and my days and nights were all turned around! So I am home and busy as ever!

I am so happy to be home with my amazing husband and crazy kids! It's great to be back into my "normal" life. I missed you all very much and I hope you are all doing great.

My purpose for this last trip to Kenya was to get ten of Saint Monica's girls into High School. We raised the money and paid school fees directly to the schools. Here is a short video of the girls packing their things for boarding school. I hope you enjoy!

Love and miss you all!

Fabulousness!  Let me know some useful items we could send in our next box from Alaska for the girls you just sent off to high school and those still at St. Monica's.  Laundry marking pens?  Small bags for personal items?  Notebooks, pencils, pens?

Please, please tell me our package of letters got to your offices in time...

So awesome Rocky! Your heart-its the epitome of beauty! I hope someday I can have half of the love you have inside you come shining thru me!

God, bless these girls as they begin a new journey! Keep them safe and healthy,  help them learn and grow. Bless Rocky for her unending work for others thru MFFO. Give her strength to keep going and courage to stand even when others wont.

Amen

by the way Staples has a dollar special every week right now-a few weeks ago it was for 4 packs of the big sharpies. There is a limit of 2 per person, but I have some i can send you. I didnt need that many, but they were $1! lol   Check out the staples ad each week though and let us know how we can help! I'll get my sharpies mailed out as soon as the snow stops!

Love you!

Feb. 3, 2009 at 11:05 PM Awesome! Watching this video makes it feel like I'm right there with you all! Rocky, it must have been an amazing feeling to help those girls get all packed and sent off to school! I'm really really proud to know you, and to have had any little teeny part of 10 for 10!! xo

Welcome back.  You did a great thing for the girls at St. Monica's.  I'm sure it's given hope to the girls who will be attending high school next year.  Great job.

Welcome back Rocky! The video made me cry... no seriously, I was sitting at my computer crying. My husband says he is going to send you some sharpies before the next trip. Don't know if it was because he felt bad about them having to sew everything or because he saw how moved I am by seeing the girls.  :-)

16 is the goal and we will get enough for 16. You can bet on that. Also, send me a list of the stuff that the girls take with them when they go to school. I'll do everything I can to get the items they need before the next trip. If I know way in advance, I can try to get the best deals.
