Spaghetti Dinner and Auction

Today was a day of all days. It started with me waking up at the butt crack of dawn and not being able to go back to sleep. Then I put the kids on the bus and got ready for the day. Once Dale was up we headed out to pay the car payment. Not only did we come up with this payment but we had enough money to put $500.00 down on the car. The owner was so impressed by us. We will have the car paid off in July and wont have to make another payment until June but we are going to keep paying each pay period so that we can get it paid off a whole month early. I am so excited about that. Anyway after we paid the car we went out to lunch ( just grabbing something quick) and headed out to Sams Club so I could meet Michelle and Ryan to do our annual Spaghetti Dinner shopping. It was great and we got it done in about an hour. Which is totally awesome considering the fact that in the years past we were in there at least two hours. Anyway after we left Sam's Club we headed out to pick up the last of the donations for the Auction that follows the dinner. Then headed to the church to unload everything. Then we started getting ready. I have to say I was a little dissapointed in the SMALL amount of people who showed up to this considering the fact that for the most part it was only the family members of girls going to camp and us leaders there. There were a few who came that didn't have kids going but I would have to say maybe 35 people total showed up. We didn't make very much money and are really worried we are not going to make enough by camp time to send all the girls to camp, and get all the supplies we need. For the main part we need at least 3 tents to replace the ones that were destroyed last year in the two big storms we had. They have to be big tents so that we can fit at least four or five girls in each one, considering the fact that we have almost 20 girls going again this year. That's still a few less than the past years but we are still the biggest ward going. Anyway to say the least I was very dissapointed with the turn out last night. Next year we are going to try something a little different and have a Chili Cookoff and Auction instead of Spaghetti. We will see how well that works out. When it was all over and done with we girls sent our husbands home with our kids and Christie and Myself took Michelle out for her Birthday (Yes It was Michelle's birthday today ( Happy Birthday Michelle ) ) to the Cheesecake Factory in Nashville. I have never been there before and neither had Michelle. We had a great time and got home about midnight. Now I am headed to bed and ready for tomorrow. Its Markrista's Wedding. Yahhhh so excited. I love weddings.
