Morgan Kate

Oh my goodness! I have been lost. I finally gave in and took my computer to be fixed. I packed it up and said goodbye last Thursday and it will not return for at least two weeks. No blogging. No reading other blogs. No facebook. No email. Nada. Nothing. Thankfully I have friends and neighbors that are so, so kind and allow me to borrow their laptops here and there. Tonight is one of my lucky nights and I have a lot to accomplish. As sad as I have been without my computer, I have found that I have a lot of extra time to get things done. That one part has been nice, but I will still be so thankful when my computer returns.

A little update on t-shirts and donations:

I placed the final order for t-shirts on Monday and they are expected to be ready by the end of next week. The final order placed was for 110 shirts. 110! Wow!

The button on the blog indicates that we have raised $305, but we actually have more. I don't have a grand total, but as of today we have a little over $800 and my mom has raised over $500. Therefore, our combined total would be around $1300. The button on the blog only shows online donations and I have received numerous donations through the mail. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all that have donated!
