The Longest Day Ever, Told by Pictures.

Today has felt like the longest day ever, but not in a bad way. We've been up since 3am and going the whole time, when we looked through all our pictures from the day it seemed like some of them happened days ago.

It's hard to put into words what I see when I am Haiti. Pictures don't do justice to what life really is here. Seeing pictures of the destruction is much different in person then on the news. But tonight I thought I'd share a picture story. And you better love it because it took FOREVER to upload these pictures! :) i know they are huge too. sorry its not easy to edit and all that here :)

We flew into Haiti at 8:05am:

HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY, This is the land the orphanage just purchased to build on, the excitement, the visions the dreams and the hopes are very real and exciting:

The day end and we were dirty. Between riding in a tap tap all day and in the back of an suv with the windows down we were really dirty (dirt under our nails from our faces, sick i know):

This is just a very short glimpse into the day. It's a small attempt to let you in to what I felt today, though it's hard to put into words right now.

Thanks for being amazing in my life!
Be Blessed Friends!
