Week 20 FUNdraising Friday Update

Well, as I hear quite often (since I have SO many mom friends/preggo friends), 20 weeks is a big deal! Some say if you can make it to 20 weeks, then that's great and most likely no huge obstacles will rear their heads. Well, I'm claiming that for our "20 week" mark. While 20 weeks is technically half way through a pregnancy, we're MORE THAN HALF way to our goal! Thanks again for the outpouring of love! It means the world!

Short story: We got a check in the mail this week from a sweet couple who read the story in Belle Magazine. They just wanted to wish us the best of luck and wanted us to know they were praying for us! We don't know them personally, but the gesture was one that pulled at the heartstrings! I know they will be blessed for giving us such a blessing! So, thank you to a sweet couple we have never met!

Also this week, we had our first home study visit! I don't know what I expected, but it was so easy. We simply showed our worker around the house and talked to her about our life story. It was wonderful for her to get to know us at a deeper level and to see how God has made this journey so apparent to us! We will meet her again next week at her office for the 2nd visit.

This week's totals:

Puzzle fundraiser: $4677.08 (960 pieces SOLD -  40 pieces unnamed...please help us name them all!) We are so close to finishing this puzzle! I can't wait to start putting it together!

We have our big fundraiser coming up in 2 weeks and we hope all you locals will be there! It will be lunch and/or dinner at Paul's Wood-Fired Burgers in Spartanburg. This fundraiser will act as their soft opening of the new restaurant! We will have a bouncy for the kids, a silent auction that night, and great food! We hope you can make it!

Thanks again for another great week!
