What a week(end)!
We hosted our adoption fundraiser at our school's homecoming event over the weekend and it was a hit! We received a generous donation from Jamba Juice with three different flavored smoothies to sell at the event.. with 100% of the proceeds going towards our adoption. We were truly blessed to have their help. With extra hands, Brian's mother flew in for the weekend to help us with the adoption fundraiser and also helped out with the new batch of autumnal scarves (and sew them all!) to sell at our booth. Brooke's mother also made 24 scarves of our school colors, which was in very high demand from the TSD community! Thank you, moms (Irene & Patty) for your AWESOME and GENEROUS help! We earned +$2,000 bucks from this awesome event!
We also want to recognize our generous friends (Jessica, Fallon, Pia, Erin, & Sarah) who came over for a craft party to help Brooke make scarves and necklaces for the homecoming event, too! The craft party was fun, especially after being served mimosas! :)
Infinity scarves are really hot and trending right now, we are currently working on a special order of scarves for a sorority, Alpha Sigma Alpha. Special thanks to Rachella Shepard and her sorority sisters for contributing to our adoption fund! For you sororities/organizations out there, please contact us if you are interested in ordering scarves for a great cause!
Ground to Cup Coffee is now selling autumnal flavors: Pumpkin Spice and Pumpkin Creme Brulee! They make great gifts for friends & families... (hint hint: Thanksgiving & Christmas is coming up!).
Brooke is currently getting her creative juices flowing to make something new for our Etsy adoption shop. We will keep you posted..
Finally, we are going to meet our social worker this Thursday for our first "interview." We each had to complete a lengthy autobiography. And in such details! We are looking forward to the meeting and getting one step closer to bringing our child/ren home :)
Thank you all for your continued support, without your great support, Brian and I would not be where we are in the process.
So excited for you two!! And so impressed too!!
