Wow, in the past week I have received many many orders for Christmas cards. Chris and I are leaving for Michigan tonight to spend Thanksgiving with his family. Today I need to make 40 cards for his Aunt Mary Jo. I also need to make several packs for people who have ordered at work. It is very exciting! Luckily I have today off so I am going to pack for Michigan, do the small amount of school stuff I brought home so I don't need to worry about it on Sunday, and then I'll be a card factory for the rest of the day! I need to make another stop at Michael's, first. I think I may be becoming one of their most valued customers!
Last week on Wednesday my mom, Chris, and I met with Elaine for coffee after work. I had been feeling at ease about the trip, having had several conversations with Elaine and with Jeff. My questions had been answered and I have just been feeling at peace about the whole thing. My mom and Chris, on the other hand, still had doubts and fears. However, after meeting with Elaine, it was like a blanket of apprehension had been lifted, and both Mom and Chris were all smiles, full of hope.
Talking with Elaine, we also got to hear more about the plans for the 50 acres just purchased for Tumaini. There are so many dreams and I feel so excited to hear about them! I will write more later about some of the plans Elaine shared with us. Right now I need to get to work!
Oh, also, Chris and I did have an appointment at the travel clinic today for shots, but the receptionist called on Monday saying she was sorry, but the doctors would not be in the day before Thanksgiving. SO, we needed to reschedule for Friday, December 7th.
