Holy Cow I'm Getting Married...

Okay so I'm feeling a bit bad because my life has been running at a million miles a second and I haven't been very good about keeping this blog up. To be honest when I started this blog it was to chronicle my journey to bring my amazing son home from Africa. But as you know Isaac is home, he had his first two of many surgeries (the next one is coming up on Dec. 18th, 2009), and life has started to settle again.

Since my last post a lot has happened. Let's start from the beginning. My friend Charity and I led a team into the mountains of Haiti. There was some miscommunication and the people there were led to believe that we were doctors. None of us are, but that didn't stop us from giving medical care to nearly 3,000 people... we kept a foot from falling off, we

saved an ear, fought countless bacterial battles, and delivered a beautiful baby boy! We went to Haiti just a bunch of normal people and left as "Doctor's Without Degrees." Sometimes to save a life you have to go where there are no roads!

Charity with the little boy she helped Rick deliver!

Savannah treated this boy for a very high fever...

Group of children that would gather outside the house we stayed in...

Me and Baby Marco... he was up for adoption...

Charity checking on the pregnant mamas...

Treating a baby with a fever...

We handed out 10 Water Filtration Systems to villages in the mountains and an orphanage in Port Au Prince...

This boys ear was falling off when he came to us... We were able to treat it...

Tony treating a child with scabbies...

Wilgo our friend and translator... he was a lifesaver while we were there...

Fungus infection that was easily treated with cream and antibiotics.

Gangrenous Foot that we were able to save...

The first day I treated an entire family that had a flesh eating fungal infections.

Cleaning up a deep gash...

This little girl couldn't straighten her arm for 2 years, when we left she was running around pain free and her skin was treated!

Once we got back from Haiti I started my new job which makes me commute to Maryland to work... but I am editing TV shows for an awesome company and have been so blessed to have found such a great job in these economic times. But that isn't what you wanted to hear about now is it???

Okay so... I have been dating Stephen for about 5 months and on Sept. 26th he asked me to be his wife.

It's so strange. Someone once told me that you wait and wait and it feels like it will never happen, but the moment you meet the right person something clicks. And all the years you have spent alone wishing for someone all just sort of fade away. It's as if they were there all along and you were never alone in the first place.

I do believe in soul mates. I believe they can be your family, your girlfriends, your children. I believe that God creates certain people to be in your life, to walk this road with you!

I have found mine. I have found a man who will lead my household and show me what it is to have a husband, a father for Isaac, a lover, and a friend.

I have found a man to complete my family. He loves my son as if he were his own, and Isaac adores him. He's the father Isaac has been waiting for his entire life. I am so blessed right now. I could not ask God for more, because every corner of my life is overflowing with his love and blessing. I can't wait to begin the next chapter of marriage and wife, but until then I have a constant reminder of what a real man is!
