feeling loved.

i woke up today to a message from my dear friend steph {from making room for moore} explaining a fundraiser she is starting. 
for our family! how sweet is that?! 
she is making beautiful ornaments and selling them on behalf of our family.
she posted the info on her blog yesterday and she already has sold 51 of them! 
i told her she might regret all the work she has to do!! :) if you would like to find out more and see what else she is selling on our behalf, you can go here!

steph was once just an "internet friend" however, since we met in africa, she has blessed me abundantly and our friendship will never be the same. more to come in the next few days about what jump started our "real" friendship but for now, know that we bonded over 9 weeks in africa. 
and if you have ever been to africa AND lived with anyone new...you know you become fast friends. 
it is a little like working at summer camp: 
close quarters, the same food over and over again, trying circumstances, 
absolute exhaustion and lots of laughter 
{sometimes because things are funny and sometimes because it is all you can do so the tears don't fall}.

thank you steph!! 
and thanks to the rest of you who continue to walk with us in this crazy, uncertain journey as we try and get home as a family of 5!!!
