Loved by many

We had our Chick-fil-a fundraiser and silent auction on March 8th and I am just now getting around to blogging about it. It was an amazing night. We were shocked at the number of people who came out. We know alot of  people but you just never know how things like this will turn out. All in all we ended up taking in around 1600.00 dollars that will go to our adoption fund.

There were a few different components that made up the night, First was our Africa shirts. A few days prior I made up about thirty Africa shirts and my friend Ashley finished them up by stitching them down.

 

Drew thought it would not be as succesful as it turned out to be. Let's say he was a little off. We ended up selling all of them and I have since had to make about 40 more. It was one of our best money makers.We also had a silent auction with ten items that were donated to us by friends. There was some really great items such as a wine tasting for up to fourteen friends, Lia Sophia jewelry and lots of handmade items. I have some crafty peeps in my life. Thankful for them all.

The last part of our night was the actual dinner at Chick-fil-a. Anyone who came between 5pm and 8pm and had our flyer helped contribute to our adoption fund. Chick-fil-a gave us 20% of the total sales for the night. It doesn't sound like much but we were surprised to learn that we earned 223 dollars and some change from it. We had over 1100.00 dollars of food purchased. That's alot of chicken!

What I told Drew that night and many people since is this. It has never been about the money for us. We will get every last dollar needed one way or another. I have faith that God will go before us just as he has done so far and that when we need something it will happen in his time. What meant more to me than anything is that on that night we were affirmed in the call that we have chosen to answer. We saw those that came to stand beside of us through what will be a long journey and say we love you, we love Kennedy and we are here to walk this path with you. The one that will at times probably seem never ending but one that holds a great treasure at its end; our precious daughter.
