Then Jesus told His disciples, "If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." -Matthew 16:24-25

June Happenings

June has been super busy for us. Matt has been out of the country three times this month so far for work, and we have a trip back to the states next week! On top of that, I've joined a women's bible study, we took a beach vacation, and we got a couple new additions to our family! (and no, that does not mean I'm pregnant)

About a week ago we went to Mombasa, Kenya for three days. It was a beautiful, ALL INCLUSIVE resort that spoiled us rotten. We even got to watch a guy climb up a palm tree to get us some coconuts to drink/eat!

And check out the view from our room!
Hanging out on our balcony drinking our coconut milk straight from the source.
We have also gotten to be a part of a few community events that Jibu has sponsored. We got to hand out water to runners and community members at two different marathons.


We finally got BABY CHICKENS!!! Friends and family, we are pleased to announce the newest members of our family. Meet Meep and Peep.

This is right when we found them, the morning they were born. You can still see one of their hatched eggs.

Here they are at a day old and Momma is teaching them how to find food. Chicks eat EVERYTHING. Its so fun to get to watch them roam around and mimmic their momma. 

Now they're about two and a half weeks old and roaming the chicken run with all the other chickens. Momma is raising them completely, which is great for us. No heating lamps!

Matt's latest project was to build me a standing desk! Why? There are a lot of health risks strongly associated with the amount of time we spend sitting every day (which Wellnessmama has thoroughly researched and sums up really well in this article). Also, sitting too long was starting to give me back pain and super tight hip flexors.

I love the design Matt came up with! Its actually a standing podium rather than a whole standing desk, which works really well because its easily removable if I need to sit for something. He also connected the top of the table with a hinge and a prop, so my laptop is closer to eye level, AND it can be used as an easel or a foot stool as well! He's so smart.
