Thank you! Thank you! (and a cool link)

I first wanted to say thank you to all those who pitched in to the Samoan Relief Effort for our stake! I was deeply touched that people wanted to help. We got help from as far as California and Virginia! You rock! Honestly, as I was dropping off all the food yesterday, I started to cry thinking how cool it is that people that will probably never travel to Samoa and may not even really know any Samoans (unless you count the Vela being 3/8 Samoan), would sacrifice in these tough times to help out. I was most touched by the contributions of 3 of my sister's kids. They each pitched in between $6.43 and $9.72 (or so) each. I kept thinking that they were probably planning to buy a little toy or some candy, yet they instead paid for rice or flour or crisco for people half way across the world who have lost everything. So cool - you're teaching them well Jen! Everyone who pitched in really helped! All together we gave 500 pounds of rice, nearly 100 pounds of flour and 10 cans of crisco. Thanks you so very much!!!!
Okay, now on to the cool link. My friend Kami (who is also an adoptive mom) is doing a cool photo give away on her blog, nobiggie.net. The pictures are awesome!! Check it out. Wouldn't you love to win some nice pictures for FREE?!?!?!
