Well, this weekend has so much packed into it, Monday cannot get here fast enough.
If you're interested in our busy weekend, we are in the process of planning a fundraiser for tomorrow night after church. It's a BBQ. Pulled bbq pork sandwiches, a bag of chips, a bag of cookies and a drink. All stuffed into a little brown bag. We're kinda excited about it. I've cooked 10 Boston Butts in the past 3 days. Frankly, I'm almost tired of seeing them, but they are some kinda good, if I have to say so myself. We tried not to eat it all as we chopped them up. Just in case you wondered, 81 lbs of Boston Butt is a BUNCH of pork!!
So, today Jeana, Jenna, and Lori (another friend of ours) and I went to Sam's and Wal-Mart to finish our project. We're to the point we are ready for it to hurry and get here and be over. It's been a blast planning, though. The husbands are also involved.....I couldn't even begin to tell you the laughs we had so far. It's been quite a memorable experience... I'll let you know later if there was any profit. We've gotten so carried away with the fun involved, we have let the stress of the "fundraising" part kinda disappear....we have other things to worry about!
BTW, if you wondered what the fundraiser is for, our choir has been invited to sing at the Pentecostal Fire Youth Conference this year. We're terribly excited about that. I've connected the link, so check it out. And believe it or not, it's in the same building that the National Quartet Convention was in. Isn't that interesting. Last year there were close to 4000 present. They expect more than that this year. Never been and can't wait to check it out. It's always a major topic of conversation for months after the kids return home.

We'll take 4 brown bag specials please...Hope it was a success!!
Yes it was a success. We prepared for approximately 150 people, which we didn't expect to show. We had 81 lbs of meat, 160 hamburger buns, 150 bags of chips and the same amount of cookies. We had less than a quart bag ziplock back full of bbq left. There was 1 bun left and no chips or cookies! We profitted approx $415. We were extremely pleased!
we wanted some too!
when is the conference? congratulations, quite a profit!
The conference is in April.
maybe we can meet you there; keep me posted.
We actually plan to go on our own and meet the choir there and make that week or the next one a family trip. I will let you know as plans progress.
