Call and Response: Human Trafficking

Hey abolitionists, watch for this documentary coming to your city this fall. For more information and ideas on how to contribute to the end of slavery, check out Call and Response.

Jane Margaret

Last Monday, June 16th, we welcomed another member of the Simon/Myers clan into the world. We coaxed the doctor into letting me watch the delivery and let me tell you, it was a privledge to witness Carly and John meet their little girl for the first time. Here are some shots of Jane's first day.

Cousin Evan & Aunt Libby

Sorry for the blog hiatus. Life as a Marvel Comic Superhero is a lot of work (who knew? Apparently it survived a whopping 4 issues).

I'm done with my training on the Mother/Baby unit and officially switch to night shift in 2 weeks. My brain and heart are on growth overload! They say at the 6 month mark new nurses get back their sense of humor, so hopefully there's light at the end of this tunnel! However, right around my 6 month mark I'll start my training up on Labor and Delivery...so I may need some extra grace.

I have a 4 day break and the privilege of spending time with my amazing grandparents who celebrated their 56th anniversary this weekend (WHAT? Such a blessing).

Updates coming soon.

Prosperity Gospel

This is a little heavy compared to my typical light-hearted blogs, but such an important message. Thanks for droppin' knowledge, Piper.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Jesus

Thanks for sharing this with me, Drew.

Pictures

So, I'm trying to get better about the whole picture sharing thing. I made a website with most of my pictures from the past 8 months or so, and I will do my best to keep it up to date. Click here to check it out!

Happy Birthday, Willie J!

First birthdays have been the happening thing around here. And I'm so glad to be home and able to celebrate life's little joys! I'm so blessed to have, well, pretty much the coolest nephew in the world. Love you Will!
