{Article 5}

FINALLY, we got it...the Article 5!!!!!!!! It was dated December 16, 2009. I am so excited that wait is OVER. On to the next wait... The Travel Approval (TA)! We should hear next week! Keep us in your prayers PLEASE!

Also, I wanted to UPDATE you on the Spaghetti Feed Fundraiser. We didn't have the turnout we had hoped for, but we still made $150 the first night and $67 the second afternoon. For a total of $217. We also had a silent auction and that was really a BLESSING!!! I had put together and made 15 baskets and they are ALL GONE!!! Thank you LORD!!!
