Our Pancake Fundraiser ended up being WAY more successful than any of us had dreamed of. Each of our families added a whopping $2,333.00 towards our adoptions! Wow. This blew my mind.
It was so nice to talk with everyone who came out. Some of you came and went before we had a chance to make it over to you, I am bummed to think you came all the way out and we didn't get a chance to tell you thank you. So, to all of you we didn't get over to, THANK YOU...it meant the world to us to have you there. Really...THE WORLD.
We had a news reporter from The Grimes Today and The Dallas County News stop in for a quick interview, look for that this Thursday or the next Thursday. As I sat on the stool as she asked us questions, I couldn't help but to notice a backed up line for food, volunteers scrambling to find more forks, my dad and mom rushing to make more pancakes, an empty table that plates of cookies once filled and a ton of people who love and care for our families. It brought tears of joy to my eyes! We are so blessed by amazing community, family and friends that came out for these 2 little girls that we've never even met.
This whole thing would not have been so successful without the many AWESOME people who helped make it possible. You know who you are. Thank you. We are forever changed by the unbelievably generous hearts that were led to give towards this cause.
Now it him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory.." Ephesians 3:20-21
