I know in my last post I talked about how calm I felt about the whole financial situation. Let's just say that soon wore off! Later that night I was growing more and more anxious thinking about how in the world we were going to do it. We went to my parent's house that night to get our contracts notarized and my parents gave a us a nice big chunk of what we need for this initial payment. They are just amazing. Other donations started so roll in (thanks in large part to my amazing friend annie, who quickly got the word out about our need), and my anxiety soon gave way to a swelling in my heart. So many amazing people in our lives that show their love without batting an eye. I don't know how we got so lucky. We may not ever be able to pay this kindness back, but I promise to give back to this world, more than it has given me. We still have a long way to go to meet our goal, but we are getting there, and in the depths of my heart I know we will achieve it.
I also hope I'm half the parent my parents have been to me. They really are the kindest most generous people I have ever met.
