My very first house build in 2006. This was with a group called Kids Korp and was built during my DTS (Discipleship Training School). I was able to go out with my fellow students, Jaime Weakley, Marieke van Hoogdalem, & Nuria Ferrer Gomez as well as Neil Grosso and Jared. My main job was painting, oh how I despise painting. Throughout the last 8 years, I've had the privilege of capturing moments on over 100 different houses, this as a result of my making a deal with the program director at the time, Malcolm Taylor, to make montages if I didn't have to ever paint again. While my opportunities now are fewer & farther between, I still enjoy going out & capturing those moments. I praise God for the opportunity to be just a tiny, insignificant part of this incredible ministry called Homes of Hope! Congratulations, Sean & Janet Lambert and YWAM San Diego/Baja - Homes of Hope Baja (HOH) for the past 25 year. It's just the beginning!! Here's to the next 25, hopefully I'll be around for those! #hoh25 #ywam #ywamsdb #ywamens #ywamsdm #homesofhope #25thAnniversary

Happy Birthday to this guy, my baby brother! It's the big 3-0! You are officially an old man. While I don't remember much about your childhood other than dressing you up & playing with you as if you were a doll & giving you your new name because mom watched too much days of our lives, I do know that we are kindred spirits. We share DNA, a love for all things superhero, entertainment, insults & witty banter. You are probably one of the only people I can have a "heated" disagreement/debate with and move on as if nothing transpired. Many people, ok, really just mom, say that we are twins born 7 years apart & I'm totally cool with that! You are an incredibly gifted young "old" man with so much potential for greatness! You are literally a genius (seriously folks, crazy high iq) but also a lover of random facts. I am very proud to call you my baby bro & be your big sis! I haven't always earned the title with honor & respect but I continue to strive to be a better sister for you! I love you & wish I could be there to celebrate with you (mainly cause mom would be paying & I haven't seen the new avengers movie yet, or the new pitch perfect one)! Love you! Bo, Alisha, Patsy, Sandrea

YES!!! I got : Yoda You are as wise as they come and people rely on you to tell them what to do. You've experienced a lot in your life, which has shaped your world view in various ways. Your intelligence and wisdom will take you far, but make sure to take some time to have fun too!

"271 friends posted on your timeline for your birthday." WOW!! I feel so very loved!! Thank you all for the very kind words and birthday wishes! Today, for the most part, was a normal Tuesday (as so many of my special days end up being on the missions field) but I love normal days! It did, however, end with a special birthday dinner & celebration with some really great friends! (Thanks Once Upon a Time for having the season finale so close to my birthday)! I believe it has been 7 years since my last birthday party so thank you Lindsay, Rebecca, Bonni, Rachel, Mandi, & Shawna for the delicious dinner & celebrating with me! You guys are AMAZING!!

#Autism moms, I need some suggestions for some stimulating toys for a young boy almost 2 years old that was just diagnosed with autism. He is on the lower end of the spectrum (closer to Aspberger's). Hoping for something that can be used for several years as he lives in Brazil! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!
