Until we receive a very special certificate in the mail, I
won’t be talking much about our adoption.
For right now, you’ll hear the ways in which we fill our waiting period
and all the fun things we do to keep ourselves entertained. And our schedule is jam packed with fun
events right now!
Kris and I have always found ourselves very patriotic, especially
since 9/11. We fully understand the
sacrifice of our troops as well as their families and we want to show our
gratitude and appreciation. We decided
back in May that we wanted to volunteer for the USO (United Service
Organization) and try and make a difference in their lives in any small way we
can.
On Sunday, we volunteered at the USO booth at the Wings over
Houston Air Show. We sold T-shirts,
wristbands, bags and beach volleyballs and also gave away car magnets, candy,
snacks, pins and who could forget the Texans Cheerleader’s poster. The donations we raised go to troops serving
in combat, their families, wounded soldiers and their families and the families
of the fallen. We saw a ton of traffic
at our booth and it was humbling to see how many kids got excited to sign the
banners that will be sent to the troops in Afghanistan. It was a very successful day and Kris and I
had a lot of fun at our very first air show.
And of course we took a few minutes to take some photos
during our down time!
