It's been a little crazy around here over the last month, and I don't have any real specific updates. But, I wanted to share what I can on the Thailand trip and where we stand. Last week received a list of who has donated specifically to my trip fund. I am at $1625 of my $3000 goal - THANK YOU!
Over the next week I will start sending thank you notes out to each of you specifically. Hopefully by the time I get home for my trip at the end of the month, I will have a new stack of people to whom I can start sending notes!
Ok, what else?
Oh - one of our Women's Bible Study groups is making the most amazing, fun, "crazy" scarves! They are to die for. They are selling each scarf for $15 with the prcoeeds going to the Thailand trip. Isn't that awesome?
Our church has a Chili cook-off coming up on April 6th. The Thailand ladies will have a table and one of our women is going to make a special Chili for the competition! I will post more information as I have it, but if you are in our area, we would love to have you join us!
We have some other ideas, but we are holding off on a couple of them since we are hoping to be in our new building very soon.
On another note, this weekend I had to practive Choosing JOY. Today is my birthday, and while my birthday itself makes me giddy; admitting my age (and admitting to some of my life status' causes a more introspective, sometimes moody attitdue.) So; on Thursday, I realized it was time to Cry (the moody part) or LIVE IT UP. I jumped on the LIVE bandwagon, bought a Happy Birthday Tiara and shared with everyone :)
From dinner Friday at Chick-fil-A where two women said they would celebrate with me; to lunch on Saturday where I made my husband and in-laws where Happy Birthday hats with me, to church today where I checked kids in while wearing my Tiara.
All I know was it was a MUCH more enjoyable experience by Choosing Joy. Oh, and in the sprit of Chooising Joy? I am 38; or 29 for the 9th time :)
