It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated. Sorry for the long silence. I traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo this summer to film an orphan sponsorship program. And then I just got back from a 3-week filming excursion to Peru, Costa Rica, and Honduras. So all that to say, it’s been a busy year, and I hope to update this blog more often once things calm down.

But in the mean time, I did just want to mention some really great news that I heard today. I am a proud North Dakotan at heart, and was excited to find out that the former governor of North Dakota, Ed Schafer, was just nominated to the US Cabinet as Secretary of Agriculture.

Check out the White House Press Release.

This makes me excited and proud on so many levels. I’m proud to have a North Dakotan nominated for such an important and influential office. I’m excited to have a man who led our state so well take on this national leadership. And really, I’m just excited to have someone that I know to be trustworthy and of high character in this role of national leadership and influence. He and his wife Nancy are incredible people, and I’m very excited for both of them. Congratulations Ed and Nancy!
