Yesterday I talked on the phone with my mom for about an hour and she just kept telling me that I needed to post on my blog as soon as possible because my fans were getting antsy. Well guys, I’m sorry I haven’t been writing as much as I would like but it gets pretty busy down here in Haiti. Since my weekend “gateway” in the Southern part of Haiti, there are many stories I would like to share with everyone. Thursday night was Gina’s birthday so we decided it was time to find some American food (something other than rice and beans). Everyone got as dressed up as they could as the days just keep getting hotter and hotter. We ate at this place near the airport called the shack. Brittany and I shared the ... read more

It's been way too long since my last blog post so I hope you didn't forget about me!! So much to tell you guys since I last posted so I am going to try and remember everything to the best of my ability. On Thursday night we lost power and didn't have it for 48 hours. You are probably wondering what I did during that time… Well……. I did so much. Friday morning I woke up, took a shower and then we "tried" to fix the broken printer.

I am making sure it is the first thing I purchase to bring back to the states (it's heavenly). I also have found the best running route with a view to die for. Waking up at 6:45am to run almost seems easy because the view I get to experience looking at the mountains in the distance is incredible. Casually I run by every farm animal there is (horses, cows, pigs and chickens). The shower is still brutal and so are the roosters constantly making noise ... read more

Hi friendzz, Who ever thought I would ever come to a third world country? Yeah I didn't. Well I want to keep everyone updated on this amazing trip I have been blessed with. Okay so yesterday started off with a 6:20am flight to Port-au-Prince from JFK. So the early wake up call had me extremely nervous as I went to bed that night. The flight was an easy 3 and a half hours and then I had finally arrived. Standing through customs for an hour when I got off the flight wasn't what I expected and losing one of my bags definitely wasn't in the plan either. I had tears running down my face when the bag incident happened by the way (classic Sarah move). Besides those two rough patches I had finally started my 5 ... read more
