Our Port-A-Pit

I feel very happy. I am always amazed at how things felt before verses feeling good. I never even know things are as bad as they are, until they aren't bad anymore. That being said (if any of you understood that), we had a very sucessful fundraiser on Saturday, and a big stress is removed from my shoulders. We struggled with how much chicken to order, we didn't want to run out, but really didn't want to be stuck with a bunch of chicken left at the end. We ended up ordering 500 chicken and 150 pit-tatoes, and they put some extra chicken on the truck (no charge if we didn't cook it) in case we were busy. And we were BUSY!! We ended up selling over 800 orders of chicken and sold out of the pit-tatoes before we were done. We only ended up bringing home about 45 orders of chicken, we didn't have time to eat on Saturday, so that was dinner, and we have frozen some for quick dinners when we get home from China and are adjusting back to our time zone (13 hour difference in time from China to here) and having Molly home with us. The very nice article done on us in the newspaper brought in a lot of business and we did a lot of advertising in town. We pre-sold 200 chicken and 90 pit-tatoe tickets. All that work getting the word out worked! Steven dressed up in a chicken costume and danced around like a fool, attracting attention to our location (sorry, I didn't bring my camera, so no pictures of that). Thank you to our friends and family who helped either by working our sale, buying chicken, donating, or sending us their prayers. It's all helping and we think we are now about half way to raising the money we need to finish the adoption. Thank you all!
