Another batch of EPs was sent out today, but we were not on the list. Sad day. Who knows what this means, but it looks like it could be January once the EPs reset again before we are contacted. There is a slim possibility that we could still hear something by the end of the year, but it isn't looking promising.
Also, we applied for a grant a few months ago that I'm fairly certain we didn't get. I checked the website today and saw the deadline for notification was June 15. Their site made it sound like they would notify families with a yes or no. We got nothing. So I emailed them to see what was going on and why we hadn't heard anything.
Kevin and lots of our friends graciously donated their talents to make this happen. It was incredible! I heard many people say it was better than they expected.
God was good to make this a profitable fundraiser, and I'm so grateful for that. I just mailed the check off today, hallelujah! I want to take a brief moment to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you that made this happen. I am humbled and blessed to call you friends, and I cannot wait for Gia to be home and start meeting and loving all the people that helped us bring her home. So exciting!
If you weren't able to attend, here's sampling of what you missed. Don't be too sad; they've already been contacted to play a "gig" at a local university. We'll see... :)
Today I got a grand surprise. 323 pictures of GIA!
About a month ago I asked our agency to schedule a candid photo shoot that we would gladly pay for, but we were told it couldn't happen.
So it was extra wonderful when I checked the mail today and found a disc with 323 pictures (4 of them videos)!
