Coffee Station Fundraiser for the Wilson’s!

Posted on by ashleymw88

Jason and I had a blast! We felt loved and supported and we were at an amazing venue for an awesome cause! What can be better than that!? We know you are all anxious to meet Baby Wilson and so are we! We are looking forward to that day and to also be able to share with him or her how much love and support was shown to get them here in our arms. Although we still have more of a journey to go, we just cannot wait to meet him or her! Below is a video my husband put together of all the pictures taken from our event. We thank God because between the the funds raised from the coffee station, supporter donations along with our personal funds, we are down to needing $8,500.00 before the homestudy final part is completed. Every little bit counts so we know we will meet this goal! Keep praying for us and we hope that you will keep supporting us as well. We love you all so much!!

Jason and I have also entered this sweepstakes to win $5,000.00 towards our adoption. Please pray that we win. It would be a huge help for us as we try to finish up this homestudy. Here is the link to find out more info. If you know other people that are adopting, they can enter it too.

The Transition Back to The States

Posted on by ashleymw88

No one told me the transition back would be rough.

I had just returned from a different pace of life and a place where people who had the least were the most grateful and then we arrived in New York City…..ugggghhh ( long gasp for air- I can do that since I am a former New Yorker lol). It hit me like a ton of bricks that I was no longer in Haiti. Everyone was in a rush. There were attitudes galore. I just could not handle it. I couldn’t wait to get on the bus and start traveling home.

We finally arrived home and I see my hubby! Yes!! But….now there is silence. Why am I silent!? Hello I haven’t seen the love of my life in days, cmon now! I couldn’t figure out what was going on with me. I walked in my house and I looked around and all I wanted to do was be back in Haiti.

I was going through.

The next day we went to church and I spoke to our other friends that have been on several mission trips and I asked them if what I felt was normal and they said yes that they have gone through the same thing once they come back from mission trips. I was like , ” Oh Thank God!” haha! It took me a good couple of days to get readjusted but I finally did 🙂
