THANK YOU!!!!
The state fair is here and the boys love to go. who doesn't? but Irwin and I talked and decided that we were not going this year. we just didn't have the money and all the holidays coming up we were just not going to say anything about it. we talked about this on Thursday night. Friday morning Irwin called me from work and said " you'll never guess what I just found on my desk". Some one had left 2 admission tickets and 7 books containing 18 tickets each book for rides, for the state fair. How about that for showing love to others. I know the blessing was not that we got to go to the fair, but that someone took the time to see the needs of another family and that our kids were able to see first hand how some one took the time to show love to our family. I know everyone can not afford to send another family to the fair, but it can be as little as a card(thanks Kory) that brightens a persons day. So thank you to those that take the time to think of others and send a thank you card or give tickets to an event that a family might have not gotten to attend with out your special kindness:o)

That is so neat!!! I love that. Brooke Anderson stopped by today with pumpkin bread. Things like that just warm your heart. You've made me want to go do something nice for someone. Thanks for sharing!
That is AWESOME!! hope you guys have fun, we love the fair.
Right on! Hope you guys had fun. I had a neighbor offer me a washer and dryer one time out of the blue. It was such a huge blessing. Thanks for the reminder to pass on the blessings to other people!
I love it- Its such a great feeling to know someone cared about you, isn't it :) it gives you hope that there's still some good left in the world :)
and you are right I am super excited...you are someone who can TRULY understand-- remember that day we talked about "trying for a girl" vs just "trying for a baby"-- it worked ;)
