- I turned 18 in basic training (yes, for those that do not know - I was in the Army)
- I turned 19 on a field mission, in the Army, in Korea
- I turned 20 on a field mission, in the Army, at Ft. Bragg
- I turned 21 and had my first birthday as an adult with no interesting experiences.
- I turned 22 just 2 weeks after I met Danny
- I turned 26 recovering from having Coby just 5 days earlier
- I will turn 36 years old in either Ukraine or Latvia, sharing my life with a bunch of orphans!!!
Coby's 10th birthday is Sept 2nd and I will be in Ukraine or Latvia for his birthday, as well. I am pretty certain, his 10th birthday will be at the bottom of the list for him. He is a mama's boy and it is going to be
t-o-u-g-h for him while I am gone. So, please be in prayer for my family while I am gone for a long 3 weeks.
On another note, I am still in need of $525 in order to make the trip. Since we are leaving the 3rd week of August, I need to get the money into New Horizon's For Children by the beginning of August. That leaves me only 3 short weeks to raise $525. I am not good at this, I do not like asking for money but as I get down to the wire, I realize that if I do not ask, I do not go. Will you please consider helping me? If just 21 of you helped me by giving $25, I would have all the money I need. If 10 and a half of you (LOL) helped me by giving $50, I would have all the money I need. Every bit helps. And if I get more than $525, we will use that money towards hosting Lidiya again for Christmas.
Aw, I didn't know we will be celebrating your birthday in Ukraine!! We will definitely make it one to remember! :D
