“If I Can Just Make It Through Friday”

That was my slogan this week.  So many things to get done.  So many deadlines.  So many things to accomplish and Friday was my big day.  If I can just make it through Friday.  And I did.  And I’m happy the week is done.  And now I’m sitting on our couch absolutely exhausted and ready for bed at 7:22.  Oh and I’m working on my new computer which is very exciting and semi paying attention to GI Joe.

Tomorrow is the 1-year-anniversary of Amon’s open heart surgery.  It’s a big important day for our family.  It makes me really weepy because the transformation that occurred in Amon was absolutely crazy amazing.  God has just been so good to us.  The time while Amon was in the hospital was definitely one of the hardest things our family has ever done. The people in our life who stepped in and really helped us out made a very hard time a bit easier.  I made lots of cookies this week to deliver today and tomorrow as a small way to say thank you.  I wanted these special people to know we didn’t forget the ways they supported us.  I wanted to say ‘thank you’ again.

You guys have helped us rock Amon’s heart fundraiser.  We still have two weeks to raise money and right now we have raised $5,600.  THANK YOU!!!!  If you haven’t donated and wanted to, there’s still time and if you make a donation of $15 or more I’ll mail you a ‘thank you’ key fob.  I’ll make key fobs until I’m blue in the face when the money is going to heart research.  Absolutely.  You can donate HERE on our personal fundraising page.  Then don’t forget to CLICK HERE and send me your mailing address.

And I also had to finish Ms. Flower’s silent auction basket for Harper’s class.  All you locals…here’s a chance to snag some art for a great price and all the money stays in Harper’s school.  There will be a set of 5 key fobs up for grabs as well as an individual piece of art too.  Then there will be class baskets…Ms. Flower’s is full of these:

4×12 “Where you invest your love, you invest your life.”

9×12 “Let me be singing when the evening comes.”

8×10 “Where there is love, there is hope.”

11×14 “Nothing more beautiful and true than the love we’ve found in you.”

DISCLAIMER:  I do make mistakes…all the time…this picture was taken before the fix.  This is what happens when you work with 3 little wild boys in tow.

12×12 “I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.”

There will be lots of different baskets at the silent auction along with games and prizes and food.  It’s Pioneerfest yo and it’s one of Madison Creek’s biggest fundraisers.  So come out next Saturday and bid.

Happy this week is done.  Happy to have finished up some big projects.  Happy tomorrow is Saturday…and I’m sleeping in.

Happy Weekend!
