Wow - humble pie never tasted so good! We' have been REALLY humbled lately. Between our concert that was successful beyond our wildest dreams, people's amazingly generous hearts who have donated online, and SPU who did an amazing bake sale / craft sale to raise funds for us. Thanks to all of you from the bottom of our hearts!
The concert was fabulous!!! Angie Fuller was magnificent, moving, and funny as hell. There were about 350 - 400 people in attendance and it was awesome! Even my talk went well - I only choked up in 2 places and remembered to breathe and talk slow enough to be understood. Lucky audience. I think I was most surprised that somebody in charge put a donation box inside and despite that people had already bought tickets to donate they were still using it! Wow - thanks! And people in attendance were from all walks. Some were family, coworkers, and friends (as expected) but there were also some who had no idea who I was and just read about the concert in the newspaper. Thanks to all of you too!
Well - can you believe Christmas is here?! It seems like it was just summer. Especially when I've forgotten 2 months. It's here though and it's going to be great. Today we have brunch with my mom and family then dinner with Josh's mom and family. And then tomorrow we have dinner with Josh's dad and stepmom and sister so that should be nice too.
If you are about to get a Christmas present from us look no further... For the rest of you, it was great yesterday. I talked my OT into helping me make biscotti (since they included 10 minutes of kneading the dough which I promised to use my left hand for). Here's proof those cookies were made with love - Hope you enjoy them if you're on the receiving end...
Merry Christmas,
Ang
Hi Angela -
