lots of thoughts in my head

-just picked up 100 coupons from Astoria!!!! free glass of wine with purchase of food. sweetness.
-Zen and Antonio's will also be supplying coupons to us.
-minutes ago i got an email from greenz saying they have 75 coupons for us...hallelujah!
-the flyer is complete (well, almost, we're lacking one sponsor's logo)
- darcy is a flyer making rockstar
-katie is a dear for dealing with my multiple emails/text messages ALL day :)
-these tiny kids on dancing with the stars are incredible. lol...have you seen the way they move their tiny hips?
-oh back on track...does anyone know how long helium balloons float? really, that is relevant. if we got balloons filled friday night, would they still float on saturday for the duration of the drive (until 2pm)?
-is apple really coming out with a new iphone next month?
-oh yes, suit drive, suit drive, suit drive. kidding. we're doing good, we have lots of things in place and ready to go. i finally feel like i can breathe because it's really happening and so many people are helping to make it happen. when it started it seemed so big and such a difficult thing to pull off. however, family and friends along the way have offered their services, knowledge, time, even finances to make this thing be as big and as awesome as possible. you have no idea how great my heart feels as friends and family step up. you all know how important this drive is for me and so you make it important to you too. that's just greatness, people. i love each and every one of you.

after saying how warm and fuzzy my heart is (lol), i also need to ask you for a prayer request. my friends jason and crystal elwell have an uncle named Son. He has down-sydrome and has amazingly lived 62 awesome years...he is in the hospital right now with pneumonia and tomorrow the drs will be taking out all of his tubes- feeding, breathing, etc. Crystal called tonight and said he's already having a very hard time breathing with his tube, so tomorrow is going to be tough. for Son, for his loving family, and for all the people who have been blessed by knowing this really great man. i'm kind of typing like he's already passed away, and he hasn't. crystal just said that the drs said there's nothing more they can do, so the time has probably come. living until 62 with down-syndrome is an amazing thing anyways.

wow, i don't want to end on that note, but i'm going to...our god is faithful, true, loving, and kind...he has blessed us all in so many ways. reflect on that. sweet dreams ;)
