The Prayer

 SO MUCH FRIZZ!
so glad it stopped raining just in time for concert!

Check out my PRETTY program <3






Tonight was an amazing evening! Family and friends gathered at the Lanier Chapel (as the sun came out at the perfect time) in support of our adopted friends who participated and my trip. It was a crazy day preparing!! As I do most things, I started preparing around 10pm last night---and worked until about 3am, complete with about 25 pillow pets falling on my head, followed by a huge trifold frame thing. After changes in school schedule, printer issues, a personnel change, locked doors, torrential downfalls, no windshield wipers, locked gates, forgotten bags, etc...with my mom's help, everything got done... by 6:07pm and the show was on (only 7 minutes late), and it was a huge success!

 The kids played great, and almost everyone there was blessed by adoption either in their own family, their extended family, or close friends, or their teacher...haha! I've included links to some of the pieces, but they aren't turning blue so I suppose you'll have to copy and paste. I've been working on WAY to little sleep to figure out how to make it work. It's thanks to Bobbi Jo, and my massive cup of coffee, that I even made it thru the day on the 3 hours of sleep I got.

My 2-3am efforts did not go unnoticed as many folks enjoyed looking at old pics, my adoption papers and looking thru some old books we have. Not gonna lie, I'm PRETTY AMAZING at finding obscure items that I have been out of sight for 30 some years :)

With my THANK YOU card created and written, I'm off to bed. A day closer to my unbelievable trip...honestly, that's what it is right now...I can't BELIEVE I'm actually going...in 2 weeks and a day. It actually makes me laugh. I guess on Jun 6, I'll be up PRETTY LATE!!
