Last night several of the girls from our 'hood got together! It was sooo much fun!! First of all, we haven't had a "girls night out" in ages so were were long overdue to catch up!! We all signed a soccer jersey that I will give to the kids on our trip!! I also received MORE donations!!! Thanks Sherry for hosting and putting this fun night together! It really meant a lot to me!!! :) Y'all all Rock!
Here is the latest update regarding my donation status...!!! I have stuff coming out of my ears!!! Ha! Serioulsy, I started to have a breakdown yesterday when I got home we have so much stuff. I brought 3 or our 4 suitcases down and told 2 tennagers (Robby and nephew Austin) and Caitlin to pack it all up! They got 3 suitcases full -- one is 49lbs, one is 50 and one is 51. Look at how much I still have left!!! I sent an SOS out to others in my group and wil be sending some of my donations their way, so we can get it all there!! If I have to, I will just pay for an extra bag in hopes the airlines won't kill me on the price to do so! :)
If you are still want to donate bring me your items asap!! ***A suggestion would be to donate cash (any size amount) in lieu of "stuff!" I can use the cash when we get there and I won't have to carry an extra bag! Ha! Cash is universal and easy to pack at this point!!! :) This is what I have packed and what I have left!!
My kids are busy decorating their soccer jerseys today!! We did real well selling these! I will take some pictures later and put them on the blog!! They are soooo creative!!! The kids in Ethiopia are going to love them!!!! Thanks to all of you!! I have loved sharing this journey with you! I have loved coming home to our donation box full of goodies!! I have loved the packages of stuff that arrived in the mail!! I have loved getting your favoirte team soccer balls! I have loved seeing how creative you family is decorating soccer jerseys from the kids! I have loved getting emails and envelopes filled with cash to support our trip and the Ethiopian children we will meet!!! I feel so blessed! God is Good!!! I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends and family that support Robby and I on this journey!! 5 days until we leave..... WOW!!!
