So It's Been A While . . .

It has been a while since our last update, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been a ton of progress!


To begin with we are now number 13 on the Taiwan wait list.  Now I'm in no way superstitious nor do I even believe in luck, but number 13 and two very cool fundraisers in the works - is there any real possibility of things not going well?


Our first fundraiser exceeded our expectations.  We had planned a yard sale and ended up with a flea market instead - it was awesome (except for that whole getting up at 4:30 a.m. thing)!  We are so thankful for so many people helping out by donating, getting others to donate, organizing, pricing, and working the sale.  So if you are reading this blog and we haven't already said thank you, let me say "Thank You!"


Now on to our next two fundraisers.


The Puzzle - below is a picture of our puzzle that we will be framing and hanging in our baby's room when he/she (they if Eliza has her way) comes home.  The way that works is you can sponsor a piece of the puzzle for $10 - we'll have your name put on the back and you will always be remembered as part of the team that brought our child home!  The Puzzle will be on display at the auction.

The Auction - on November 5th at 5:15 p.m. the doors will open and at 5:30 p.m. we will begin serving dinner at the chili supper and auction to be held in the fellowship hall at Medina FBC.  The live auction will begin at 6:00 p.m.  Tickets are $5 for adults and childcare is available (we need to know if your kids are coming ASAP).  The chili will be great, but the auction is going to be awesome!  We will have three kinds of items up for auction:  silent auction, live auction like you're used to seeing, and a mystery auction.  We already have 2 tickets to the NASCAR race in Bristol with passes to the Dupont sponsor tent and a special meal with the opportunity to meet Jeff Gordon; up to $1,000 in legal services, and a weekend getaway in a chalet in Gatlinburg.  We are working on getting up a list of special auction items on the blog so check back often!  If you or someone you know would like to make a donation for the auction please let us know and we'll be glad to get with you about the item(s).

We hope to see you there!
