Good things happen because of good people

Let me preface this post by saying I feel like I just drank 984 shots of espresso because I am still nervous and I still can't get my thoughts straight!

Now, to backtrack.

While I was still in a haze and feeding Emmi in the early morning hours, I checked our YouCaring site and saw we had over $500. You guys... Good things happen because of good people. I cannot believe how many amazing people have donated to help us get a house-- how many people we have never met who have given incredible amounts of money. I do not have the words to show my thanks right now- because I'm in shock- because we were interviewed FOR THE NEWS.

What?

My pessimistic husband decided to share on Twitter and started following all kinds of people. One person happened to be Sachelle Saunders from CBS 58- AND SHE TWEETED BACK!!! We had a crazy busy day of running errands, having out of town family visit, having my nephews over, brewing beer (Aaron gets a day to himself once in a while) and simply keeping sane with our 3 girls. We had a couple of hours to mentally prepare for an interview and I was so nervous- I'm still nervous. I'm pretty sure that word vomit spewed from my mouth and we will look like total tools on the news BUT that doesn't matter because they took the time of day to come talk to us and help us out. We are SO thankful for that. Sachelle was so incredibly kind and friendly, I am hoping she comes back to hang out in our new digs some day! Her camera man was also SUPER awesome and we had a really great time with them. It also turns out Aaron cried. On camera. He's going to cry on the news (I was outside trying to keep kids entertained). I guess he's really sad about the prospect of being wrong... that or he just really cares about our family.

Currently, my 2 year old is on a time out in her room screaming that she is a "good girl" in an exorcist voice, so I have to get her out in 1 minute. I will be back tonight to update, to share pictures, to read comments, etc. I just had to tell you all that we are going to be on CBS 58 tonight... and please don't judge us too much, we already did that ourselves ;)
