So, I woke up this morning and the fact that I am less than two weeks away from my surgery kinda threw me into a little panic... There is still so much to do before we leave. Two more fundraisers (Poker Tourney 10/23 & Fall Fest Fundraiser 10/25). Gotta get the house in order for the kids (grocery shopping, laundry completely done, Target run for household items, etc.), gotta make sure we have everything needed for our trip (proper clothes, toiletries, books, games, things to keep us occupied), and most importantly, gotta make sure everyone knows how much they have helped me and is making this all possible...
Everyone has been working so hard and selflessly for us to reach our goal and your generosity and kindness has been soooo overwhelming. I really cannot even explain how this makes me feel so "overwhelming" is the best word I can use because it makes me happy, thankful, blessed, grateful, and so many other feelings that it is just that, overwhelming.... THANK YOU EVERYONE!
Update on surgery: It has been pushed back two days due to a scheduling conflict with Dr. Siebert. He'll have to be in New York on 11/1 & 11/2 but will be back to Madison the afternoon of 11/2 for surgery on 11/3. Thank goodness! I've waited over 10 years, I guess two more days won't make hurt! :)
Eddie and I will have a few days more to kill than anticipated in Madison. So we'll have a mini-vacation before surgery and have NO IDEA what we're going to do. I HATE being cold and am certain it's cold there, so hopefully they have a good mall or movie theatre or something... LOL
Come out and play poker on Saturday, 10/23. Buy-in is $40. Grand prize is $500. Let me know if interested in playing. Also, the Fall Fest Fundraiser will be on Monday, 10/25 3-8pm in the parking area at the old MarVal center. Spaghetti Dinner, vendor booths (jewelry, hand bags, Tupperware, produce to name a few), fun for kids and adults. Still have vendor spots available ($20). Hair Gone Wild will be doing a Deep Conditioning with Gloss-in for $30 between 4-6pm and will donate that and 10% of all products sold that day.
Hope to see everyone out at these last two events! Take care and THANK YOU!
With lots of love,
Kristi
