Well this weekend we had our first "non official" BBQ fundraiser. Bobby was originally just going to cook one boston butt on friday night and use it to make some brunswick stew. A friend of mine said that her dad wanted to buy one if Bobby would cook an extra. Then she said that her mother in law would like one too. So I decided to put a little post on our facebook page and see if anyone else would be interested in buying one. I told everyone that all proceeds would go toward the adoption. It was so last minute that we really needed to know within a few hours who would want to participate. We ended up having a great response and between the BBQ sales and a couple of unexpected donations, we were able to raise $300 for our adoption fund!!

It was very exciting to see our fundraising thermometer rise again!! Our first donation was from the paypal donate button for $50.00. We can't even express how thankful we are for all of our friends that have been so supportive of our decision to adopt!! Right now we are trying to get a T-shirt fundraiser together hopefully real soon. We are so excited about this one and already have something in mind for it.
