Out on an island...

So this weekend, the sun came out and kinda warmed things up. I was able to get out and enjoy a local kite festival in Everett on a little island. Behind me is one of the rare "sandy beaches" in Washington state. Most everything else is covered in rocks and wonderful beach dwelling creatures - like barnacles.

Fireworks on the water

So I left eh exposure on my little
point and shoot open just long enough to get the
whole "blurr" effect. It's hard to tell what's going on here
but if you look closely, all those little multi colored lights
on the water are boat lights. We were just a few hundred feet
from the barge and were having blast (no pun intended).

It truly was an awesome evening!

Home Sweet Home

Within the first month of being home,
I had the opportunity to get up to Wallace Falls
just an hour or so away from where I'm staying.
It was an amazing hike and with the snow level
just a few hundred feet above us, it was quite chilly
as well!

Okay - so there are still revisions to be made and this is only a trial run; but I wanted to put it out there for all of you who can't make it on Sunday night or are in other states/countries. Enjoy!

Upcoming Event:

As many of you already know, I have been back in Washington State now for about a month. I will be speaking this Sunday evening (May 4th) at 6pm at Arlington Assembly of God, during which I will be sharing just a few of the awesome things that God is doing in Burkina Faso, West Africa.

The Weather Back in Burkina.....

So with the rain/snow/sleet/sun that we've had over the past two weeks, I thought I would jump online to see what the weather was like back in Burkina. Looks like another HOT week back in West Africa. Scope out the forecast. Thank you God for cool Washington rain!

Back in Washington State and doing well....

The past couple weeks have flown by and found me with quite the large appetite. Having been born and raised in the Northwest, I enjoy seafood and love my coffee. I had the opportunity to visit the first Starbucks in Seattle wile my sister was in town. (Pictured above) My sister and I with about 5 pounds of coffee - enjoying the smells and sounds of the first Starbucks!

Traveling Home.....

Well - I'm here at last! It was a smooth flight from Ouaga-Paris-Seattle and I was very happy to arrive home to some crisp cool air and a cup of Starbucks in my hand.
