4 More Months

Hello Beautiful People!!

In about 4 months I will be on a plane to South Africa!  As the trip gets closer my to-do list seems to grow longer.  Passport has been applied for, vaccines need to be ordered, etc.  The reality is starting to set in and I'm not nearly as nervous as I expected to be.  That may be a different story when I'm on the plane.  Oh that reminds me . . . I need to buy my plane tickets.  Better call United ;).

My fundraising efforts have been going really well.  The donations for the garage sales have been overwhelming.  I guess everyone needs a good excuse to clean out their closets, I know I did.  

Keep checking back for dates and times of more fundraising events.  I always welcome the company!

Hugs,
Amanda

First Garage Sale

My first fundraising event was this past weekend and it was a huge success.  I held a garage sale at my sister's house and we raised over $300!!!  Thank you to everyone who donated and came by to support me.  I could not do this without all of you.

Everyone's help is greatly appreciated but there are a few who went above and beyond and they deserve a special thanks. 

Jen & Jeff (& Milo)
Ross & Karen
Gordy & Amanda
Daniela & Jessie & Sarah
Mary & Tyler

Thank you a millions times over.  Your support and donations made this garage sale possible and brought me that much closer to the orphanage in South Africa.
