The joys of being married to a youth pastor...

As a result of the Haiti Earthquake, the teens wanted to help and decided to collect flip flops to send to Haiti. Their goal was to collect 500 and if they exceeded their goal and collected 750 Andy would shave his beard.
Flip Flop Sunday, the teens encouraged everyone to wear flip flops to raise awareness of the cause Flip Flops for Haiti.

The final result...looks like Earl from the tv show "My Name is Earl"

I love him...but hate the facial hair. Oh the things we do for ministry.

Sausage Toe

The toe adventure began in December when my toe randomly became swollen and extremly painful. After many doctor appointments and two rounds of antibiotics the physician diagnosed "sausage digit" and the toe was thereafter known as the sausage toe. Mid February we went to see a podiatrist after the antibiotics didn't work and of course I was freaked about the whole ordeal. Andy was cool as a cucumber and came along for comic relief. The doctor was so funny to play along with the prank we wanted to play on my parents who were visiting for the weekend. She even gave us this fake looking toe and put some fake blood on it to make them think it had to be amputated. I couldn't keep a straight face and they knew it was a joke.
