Looking at learning Polish as a whole, seems like a massive mountain that is impossible. It seems I will always sound silly and unable to make the ‘normal’ sounds Poles make. One example, rolling your tongue. I have no idea how I was jipped while I was being created in my mom’s womb but I[…]
Weronika and I. Weronika, I had such an amazing time getting to know you more and I SO look forward to being able to get to know you better in the near future! Love our friendship. Do you have friendship you wished were better? This is one for me. We get along great but there’s[…]
We were able to take some pictures of each other while at our last visit. I think you can totally see the friendship the two of them have with each other. It’s awesome. It helps also, that I was behind the camera saying ridiculous things to make them laugh. There is nothing more beautiful than a natural[…]
Here are some last pictures from our trip to Seattle. They HAD to take a ferry. We insisted. 🙂 I think it’s impossible to go to Seattle on a summer day and not fall in love with the city.
We were given FABULOUS Mariner tickets by my dad and step-mom for our Polish friends to experience an all American baseball game. And it was fabulous. In every way. No kids, great weather and the best seats I’ve ever had. Oh and it gets better- we actually won! It was a fabulous time and we[…]
I made a Polish Apple cake that turned out great. Go HERE to see/read more. 🙂
There is a constant tug of war with my attentions and heart when it comes to Poland and living here. Take preschool for Emma. Travis and my hope was to enroll her into preschool IN Poland. Not here. But as our plans changed, so did the details- like Emma’s preschool. Yet through all the changes our[…]
I once had a vision about the streets of Kraków. I was standing in the main square (pictured above) looking down Floriańska Street, one of the main walking streets leading to the main square. I remember I was prompted to close my eyes and begin praying. As I prayed I felt a warm breeze begin[…]
I’m meeting Trav downtown today for dinner and walk along the river. It should be really nice and I’m looking forward to it. The only thing is that the Max I will be taking freaks me out. There is something about it that screams unsafe! I have no problem going around Krakow using their buses[…]
Poland is a place of many amazing things, good, bad, and ugly. There’s not a shortage of water or food, nor is there an overwhelming need to help in the orphanages, and it’s not a place struggling with war. But it is a nation of 38 million people, 38 million people who, for the most[…]
So last night we were able to do the video. Lets just say that Travis was made for this and me…not so much. I think I prefer the stage. One good thing is that there will be bloopers at the end of the video so make sure to wait for it. It will be 95%[…]
Well, not really. But we are making a fundraising video featuring our vision for Poland and our hopes for the future. Tonight is the night we are filmed. I’m sure we’ll have the video for you to see on here or another simple avenue. This will be Emma’s chance to show the world what kind[…]
I was reading in Luke 16 this morning. It was about a parable Jesus gave. I’m not going to explain it here, you should really read it for yourself. But as I finished it I was feeling encouraged but didn’t know why. As I was journaling, I realized that recently I was feeling kinda guilty[…]
We just came back from the Polish Festival and boy are we exhausted. It was a lot of fun though. Tons of amazing food, singing, dancing and little trinkets that people want to clutter their houses with…it was nice. We invited a few friends with us and they loved it! They especially liked all the[…]
