Not a thanks big enough.....

We are so close to Kip's fundraising goal, I can see it happening within the next month.   It is awe-inspiring (to say the least) to realize that through the loving help of friends and family we raised $15,000 for our Kip's amazing race.

When she told me, WAYYY back a year ago, she wanted to do this, and how much it would cost, it boggled my mind.  Then she told me that her friend, Erin and her husband Drew had managed to not only raise $15,000 but $30,000, for BOTH of them to go.... I knew that through our loud mouth, enthusiastic bodies, we would be able to make it happen for her.

And we are so close, I can smell it.

So many people helped us.  People donated, people prayed, people gave monetarily, people volunteered, kids wore bracelets, it was all God's doing.  Every. single. bit. of. it.

I have a list of people I want to thank, and it's scary to do this because if you gave me stuff, and I leave you off the list.... you might de-friend me on facebook.  And I take that very seriously.  :)

But SERIOUSLY.... people.... we put out the call and you rallied.......

 and last but not least
Cyndi Bracy & Yolanda Runnels...I COULD NOT have done the clothes sale without you two to organize me and help me cut pin and sort.  FOR THE LOVE.  That was hard earned money, but Fun because of friends.   LOVE YOU ALL.


and alllllllll the people that donated clothes, and garage sale stuff...people I didn't even know donated.  I thank you all.

They say it takes a village to raise a child.   Welp, our village rocks.  Our village sent a child around the world on a once in a lifetime adventure and I am so thankful for you.    There aren't enough words in my vocabulary to thank all of you.

We are a very blessed family....to have you all in our corner.   Love and thanks.
