i know it has been forever since i wrote on this blog but its been a really really full two weeks. its one of those times that is so full of stuff that I could write so much and feel overwhelmed so i don't write anything.
but some good news. remember A and B...those are the two boys that we got into boarding school. (beth's servant team know them!) well the boys have been in temporary care for the past 8 months at a boarding school rather far away...but now they got admission to the AG boys home. This is awesome. They will get to learn English, go to an amazing amazing school......they will have a future. The school is just outside the city so their mom, P, can go visit them (as well as us!!!) We have been waiting for this news for a really really long time. Wahooo!!!!
we had visitors....our friends Tammy, Dylan, Molly and Grant, all who now live in Bangalore. They were such an encouragement while they were here. They come here to stay with us for three days of their vacation.....and end up blessing us!!!! They had an amazing prayer time for us and i just feel once again God is longing for me to receive His love without having to prove myself.
and...hot season has started. it hasn't been so bad so far but for the first time in about 5 months on saturday when i was sitting in a chair my legs were sweating and sticking to the chair. just have to remember that its just a season!!!!
i love finding or being found by friends on facebook who i haven't talked to since i was in high school. it brings back such funny memories. i love that i got a really long email from a friend i haven't heard from in a couple months. i love that all my pillow cases are all different colors. i love that our friend charollette is going to have her baby any day now!!!

My name is Raeann, I am visually impaired. I attended the Indiana School for the Blind, a day and residential school, for blind and visually impaired children, ages three to nineteen years old, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
When I was four years old, I began attending the school. The local public school, lacked the facilities for me to attend there school, they did not have the adaptive technology that I needed to succeed in the classroom, an aide or a vision teacher, so my parents enrolled me in the blind school. The school considered me a residential student, during the week I stayed at school. A bus would take me to school on Sunday and not bring me home until Friday. My dormitory had eight other girls. Weekends, Christmas, spring, and summer vacations, were the only times I went home. The school was like my home away from home, the people in my dorm were like my family. On the weekends I had a nice visit with my family. Summer vacation was like a breathe of fresh air, three whole months with my family at home. The only time I remember going home during the week is when I was seven years old. My dad was taking classes, he would pick me up after school, take me home over night, bring me back early the next morning. Being able to go home during the week to see my family was like a rainbow. It only lasted a few weeks before it had to end, I was so tired at school that I started falling a sleep in class.
My school was a 5 day boarding school, where the whole school closed on the weekends and everyone went home. My family lived an hour and a half from the school. My best friends Jessica and Lisa, lived at the other end of the state, had to ride the bus for five hours twice a week, just to attend school.
