Bon Ane Nouvo!

Happy New Year's!

(since I never know if I'll be online on New Year's, I'll just wish it now.)

I always have mixed feelings at the end of a year. Another year gone??? Am I happy about how I lived it or would I change it if I could? It's a good feeling to be able to feel that I wouldn't change anything. (not meaning I was perfect, just in general, where I am). This has been a great year. A year ago I did my last shift in Canada, and that was that. I left a country of ease and went into the unknown. Though life here isn't what you could possibly call 'easy', it has been a year full of blessings: - a new fulfilling job that is way above my league but I'm enjoying because it feels so worthwhile, lots of new friends both N. Americans and Haitians, exploring and getting to know a new country and culture, - I won't go into detail - it would get too long.

I do want to thank all of you who have been a part of my life this year, and the impact that has left on me.

And now I've loaded up some pictures for you to enjoy.

Bobi's brother Kyle and mom Barbara visited her for a week. They helped out tons with all the Christmas preparations. Thanks for visiting! I feel almost like I got a new family myself!


Also visiting us for 10 days over Christmas and New Year's are Tyler and Nick, medical students from South Carolina. They also got roped into helping their first day here. But we did take them to a nice resort the next day. They've helped out with two clinic days and two Medika Mamba days. This is Tyler on our way to our friends Chris and Leslie. He checked out how it felt riding on top of the taptap, on metal bars. Not sure if that was a better place than our jammed full ride standing up.

If you don't have marshmallows, how about candy? Joel thinks it's fun and good!

Bobi and me relaxing at the resort in our new clothes! That was fun!



May the sunset of this year bring you a great sunrise for the new year and may it be good and joyful and fulfilling! Make it so with God's help if the past one wasn't!!!

Hi Elsie: Happy New Year! I am so happy for you and proud of you for going into the unknown to do what you believe you have been called to do, for now. I pray that God will really bless you for that and I know he already has, in many ways.

Hope things are well there. Have a wonderful January! Drop me a line if you have a chance! Love, Colleen

But when you advertise their application [url=http://www.coach-store-factory-outlet.com/]Coach Outlet[/url], should not use promotional or guarantee that you get top rankings in the particular App Store services. Even if you did not personally involved in the manipulation belonging to the behavior of the App Store rankings or consumer reviews and employ this sort of services are still likely to make you lose the membership belonging to the Apple developer programs. Li Yi said, this news in addition to cause some applications under, it may also necessarily mean: brush ticketing immediately set up their prices. The developer is faced with all the common situation is: Unless the product can be particularly prominent, or ranked very low, the brush is almost become the easiest way. Chang said that the developers tend to brush and brush votes is definitely skin deep, deep reason is that is the App Store too, the user like a needle in the haystack, general application to reflect the value is not easy. Many mobile developers profit situation isn't ideal, and marketing costs are generally still climbing. [url=http://www.coach-store-factory-outlet.com/]Coach Factory Online[/url]

You should talk to your doctor about your condition and to see if they will recommend Viagra for you.
