Haiti Peace Team Recap

Today had missions written all over it!

First, I received these in the mail, that I'd ordered a couple weeks back: 

yiieeeee! 

^ They're stickers. Yes, that's right... stickers. The 11-year-old Cori who used to go ape over Lisa Frank stickers resurfaced today in full excitement over her new stickers. At least as an adult, I'm selective about finding those with strong significance ;).

^^ YEP. I'm on my way to a fully-decorated Nalgene, but it will be with hand-selected stickers and in time, will become a sources of hydration as well as a reflection of much that I hold near & dear to my heart ♥

I was so happy all day, with new decorations; it primed me for a continued evening of awesomeness as we convened at SonRise to hear 5 of the 10 Haiti team members share with us their trip to and from, and how they both impacted and were impacted by all of it.

sonrise haiti team! 

What a blessing! I love, love, love that we have so many passionate people engaged in missions work here at SonRise; I'm so proud to have been one of them on the most recent trips, and am on board with many others as we pray for the opportunity to return.

Oh, and who could forget: It's Cinco De Mayo!

because why not?! 

^ Rob & I took advantage of the special occasion, and visited one of our favorite digs for a late evening dinner. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo, amigos!

My heart is full tonight.. what an amazing day!

¡El sexto día está en ruinas!

Well, not entirely. Sticking to day 6 of the Moreno breakfast and lunch was a breeze.. but in case you missed it, yesterday was Cinco De Mayo, a day which Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati college students apparently celebrate by drinking cheap margaritas and eating burritos. [Hello, Rio Grande]

So umm... we opted to partake of the festivities, although I must admit I wasn't even a tiny fan of the margarita. Sorry. Dinner was served. Dinner was not on the Moreno Menu. BUT.. It was dinner, it was Mexican, and it was g-double o-d.

I'm a huge proponent of honesty, especially when I've screwed up. I'll be the first to admit I'm not being a saint with this diet -- training thing, but I think that out of 21 meals, I'm averaging 17-18 on point each week. Sure, it's not perfect, but neither am I, and eating plain greek yogurt every day is a couple marks short of an awesome time.

^That's me justifying myself when I stray. I know, I know. Shame on me. Oh well.

Here's proof of the dieatry debauchery that was... Cinco De Mayo, 2011.

Tomorrow's another day of redemption. Mark my words.
