Kay Nou (Our House)

It is our first weekend in Haiti.  We wanted to give you all a brief tour of our house.  We are so excited to call this house our home and wanted to officially invite you to our house warming party.  So sit back relax and enjoy the pictures.

The house we are staying in is located on the back of Baptist Haiti Missions property.  Our door is open.  Come on in!

Here is our living room.  We have a fireplace!  We don't need it for heat but it will be a great place for Christmas stockings.  The furniture has been provided by the mission.  I LOVE that we have a purple couch.

This is our reading wall.  The chairs go along with the couch.


Tanpri, chita. (Please, sit)

Right: Here is our refrigerator and stove.  The stove is not working at the moment (no baking for me.)  We worked hard to keep our suitcases under the maximum weight.  Because of this certain "luxury" items had to be eliminated.  One of these items happened to be our picture frames.  I am indeed thankful for magnets and a refrigerator.

Here is our kitchen table.  I love waking up and having breakfast at the table looking out over the mountains of Haiti!  It is still very surreal to us.


My wedding gift from Trey was the willow tree figurine you see in the far left of this picture.  It is a little boy holding his heart.  I left this and several other Willow Trees in the states and Trey surprised me when we got here with this little guy!  I was so excited and thankful for a husband who seeks to understand my little quirks.

This is our lovely bedroom!  The window you see the sun coming through is where our "friends", the tree frogs choose to dwell.

Heres the corner of our bedroom.  We are slowly adding furniture and items to decorate.  For now we are keeping the look of a college dorm room :)

Our bathroom is on the right.  Yes we have a rainbow shower curtain :)  We bought it at a deli mart when we first arrived.  The bathroom was in need of a splash of color so we went all out with it.  


It is quite the talent to brush your teeth with bottled water and not use the sink water.  Trey doesn't worry about it and will embrace the "Haitian Happiness" that could come from using the water on his toothbrush.

Alas, the shower :)  The water pressure is well...not so great.  There was one morning I turned the water off and literally thought it was still on.  Crazy, I know.  We are however so thankful for running water.  I think the shower gives the house character.


On our first morning we got up after a rather sleepless night.  I took the first shower and it was pretty chilly to say the least.  I made myself count to three and decided to wet my hair completely.  As soon as I did this Trey came in to the bathroom to inform me our alarm was set wrong and it was only 5 am.  It was at this moment that I could not decide rather to laugh or cry.  I then returned to bed with a very wet and very cold head to finish a good nights rest.


Thanks for visiting!  We love where the Lord has brought us and are so thankful for his provision in the big and little things.
