The iSkin is amazing... if you are an iphone user, and I believe they have blackberry cases as well, this is the best case. I have had mine for almost a year and I LOVE it! I gave my sis one for her birthday and she loves it as well!!! If you are looking for a good case, that will last a long time and is OH SO CUTE.... this is it!!!  http://www.iskin.com/solo/  

I have decided to post links to places that are close to my heart, they are great places to give. These places don't just need money, they need prayers, materials, service etc...

It is a Christian camp and they truly show the love of Christ through the services that they provide.

We are in the midst of packing the rest of the house (all of the stuff we left behind in November). I'm so excited about opening all of those boxes!!! It will be like Christmas in May! While I'm excited, I realize more and more that we can truly live without so much stuff. We have lived for 6 months without all the extra stuff.

We are blessed to be a part of such loving families, but more importantly two families who believe in Christ and celebrate His birth. Thank you God for giving us your Son. The one and only Gift that matters.
