Long overdue update

Yard Sale Results!

This last Saturday we had the long awaited yard sale that my wonderful friend Jasmin volunteered to coordinate and host at her house in Irvington. So many people donated to the yard sale it was unreal how much stuff we had to sell! We had a steady trickle of customers throughout the entire day and by 5pm raised $400 through the yard sale in addition to the $7,800 that was donated through the fundraiser site! Wow!

Florida Vacation Update!
As most of you know, I work downtown at ExactTarget. Employees are able to join internal organizations such as ExactImpact, ExactWellness, ExactFun, etc. Well today, ExactImpact - the service/volunteer organization - donated $500 to the Florida trip! What a great company I work for! Before I close on this topic, I want to send an updated thanks to those that have recently donated to the Make a Wish! Thank you Rachel Johnson, Mary Ryan, Uncle Ron and Aunt Kathy, Stephanie Schilling, Jan and Tony Elrod, Jerry Brenner, Sandra Maldoando, Louise Andrew, Colin McSharar, the Whetsels, and many more that chose to remain anonymous.

Mom's recent chemo
Mom had a wonderful week off from chemo - she was able to get her energy back and spend a lot of time with some friends and family. She saw her Uncles, spent quality time with her long-time friend Debra, and enjoyed relaxing with Melissa and her granddaughters, etc.

Little did we know it was the quiet before the storm. Last Tuesday she had her regularly scheduled chemo and then Thursday she was hit with a high fever requiring a visit to the ER. Thankfully she had spent the night at Aunt Cindy's house and she was able to rely on her to get her to the ER and back. She is ok now, but it was a scary couple of hours for Mom!

Thank you for your continued prayers and support! Mom is still feeling pretty good (no liver pain) - just a little weak at the moment.
