The Concert of the year!

12-14-2104 BEST CONCERT EVER!
Josiah, Morgan & Chad singing Silent Night
 On 12/14/2015 my family hosted a fundraiser Christmas concert for Knox. It was amazing!  God has blessed my family with the incredible gift of music. From the first time Josiah and I discussed different fundraisers having a benefit concert was at the top of the list.



While I had no idea how to pull together a concert my aunt Johnna, aunt Mary and my sister and brother in law did. In 3 short weeks the event was organized, singers booked, and advertised all over the town. Honestly I can't believe we pulled it off in such short notice!

 The concert was amazing! The singers and musicians were amazing, the volunteers who helped with concessions and the reception were amazing. The night was a complete success.

We raised $1,450 to go towards the adoption. Another amazing (I know too many amazings) thing that happened is the local paper ran a front page article about Knox, our family, and the concert! Josiah posted the article on FB and emailed it to his boss and guess what? With his boss and his companies vendors they matched the donations from the concert! This concert was to be our last fundraiser before we traveled. Even with the money from the concert we were still a little short from our goal but with a nice offering from my Mom's church, a donation from a friend, and a secret Norwex fundraiser my sister organized on the side(Norwex rocks) we have met our goal! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!2
Now we have our money it's time to get ready to travel!
