Ops!  Not yet…leaving on a jet plane that is.  Guess what though!?!  I got my backpack and mess kit and sleeping bag and some clothes for the trip!!  I’m just a little excited.  Would it be weird if I told you that I wear my backpack around my house sometimes?…while in my sleeping bag…hopping around?  Just kidding about the sleeping bag part.  But I do wear my backpack around and imagine in my mind that I’m hiking through Peru.  Don’t judge me. 
   Guess what else?  God is kicking butt with fundraising lately!  Every day I sell some Threads of Hope bracelets or get a check in the mail from someone.  I still have a lot to go but God’s got everything under control!  These are some interesting fundraising ideas that my friends and I have had:
  • Kissing booth (don’t worry…we threw that one out fast).
  • Shave it or save it (my hair that is).
  • Taking all the money that I have raised thus far and spending it on lottery tickets and/or going to a casino (this one is still up in the air).
  • Making a rap/dance to sell shirts and bracelets and hopefully becoming famous via YouTube.
  • Oh…there’s more…but these were just the “best” ones.
Do you have any ridiculous/awesome fundraising ideas? 
 
JANUARY 6th is right around the corner!  Every day is such an emotional roller coaster.  One minute I am so excited and happy about going and this trip and the next minute I’m crying to my friend about missing her wedding.  I was never an emotional gal until this darn trip came along!  I am so beyond stoked to be able to do this with my life, I am so beyond stoked that God is using me and using others to bless me thoughout this process.  My Pappa is so good!
 
80’s Prom night…I just remembered.
