Welcome New Readers!

We had the opportunity to spread the word on our blog and Amazon deal to several hundred people over the last few weeks, which is ridiculously awesome! 
 So if you're new to our site, welcome.

 Feel free to shop Amazon by clicking the link in the upper right hand corner. (Make sure to empty your cart ahead of time!) 

 I will be posting updates about last week's exciting fundraising opportunities soon, but for now I have a paper to write -the LAST one of my MBA!

Exciting and Urgent Update!

As you might know, the Long family spends most of our Saturday mornings enjoying breakfast at Chick-Fil-A.  Let’s just say they know us well there.  We are so excited to partner with our local Chick-Fil-A for our first (and probably not our last) big fundraiser.  If you are in the Hamilton County area on Thursday, May 17, please join us at the Chick-Fil-A in Noblesville for a fundraiser to support our adoption! This promotion is available ALL day from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. for dine-in, drive-thru, or pick-up catering.  All you have to do is show up, give them our flyer, and enjoy.  In return, Chick-Fil-A will donate a portion of your sale to our adoption fund.  Everybody wins! If you’d like to attend and I haven’t already thrown myself in front of you, which is very unlikely at this point J, e-mail me or leave a comment and I will make sure you get a flyer.

Praying for a great turnout and the chance to see a lot of our friends in one place!    


Back from the Dead

If you have seen or talked to me in the last two months, then you probably know why I have been negligent in my blogging as of late.   The grand finale of my MBA program literally sucked every waking moment out of me (and most of the sleeping ones as well).  I did have to take a brief hiatus from adoption paperwork just to manage my job, family and school commitments, but we’re getting back on track.  I’ll post some pictures and updates about a few things that have happened this spring, but I mainly wanted to say that we’re still alive – and expecting an influx of new blog readers! This week we mailed 150 letters to our Indiana friends letting them know about a few upcoming fundraisers.  My very good friend Janice created beautiful little cards to let people know to shop our Amazon link, which we were able to include in the mailing.   So if you’re new to the blog, Welcome. If you’re not, thanks for hanging around.
