Ten months later...

The last time I updated you we were on week 37 of our puzzle fundraiser. We have sold a total number of 641 pieces since week 1! TOTALLY AMAZING!

Week 37- 4 pieces
Week38- 2 pieces
Week 39- 14 pieces
Week 40- 7 pieces
Week 41- 2 pieces
Week 42- 4 pieces

Every time we sell a pieces it is always a special time and has a special meaning. Week 39 I will never forget, Daniel and I were at a Christian Concert at one of the local churches with a family from church. We happened to run into an old friend from when we were in high school that we had not seen in years (we've been out of high school for 10 years). After saying hi, how are you...she went to her seat. A few moments later she brought some money over to me and hugged me and said "this is for puzzle pieces, I've been wanting to get some for awhile, I love following your story on fb". This totally made my night! Not only did I get to see an old friend but I have a great memory I will get to share with our future child. The next evening at house church one of my dear friends had a huge smile and handed me a jar full of change and said "this is for puzzle pieces". Love her to pieces!!! Another special moment and great story to share with our child about someone who means a lot to us that is just as excited as we are about wanting to become parents.

We are so blessed to have these amazing people in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for purchasing puzzle pieces- mom, Jamiel, Erin, Rebekah, Nichole, Jim and Carol!!

If you would like to purchase a puzzle piece or two ;-) you can read more about this fundraiser on my blog. Pieces are $10 each. There is only 359 left!! Puzzle fundraiser info.

We have received paper work from our adoption agency and are gathering other documents so that we can apply for grants. I will keep you posted!
