If you weren’t invited, don’t be mad! What started out as Jordan and Mrs. Garrick bringing over the last of the donations turned into a full-blown packing party! This past Wednesday night Mom invited some of our closest friends and family over to eat, hang out, pack up all of the donations for the babies, and pray for safe travel.
Aunt Gail came over and she and I ran out to grab drinks and the pizzas we ordered from Anzi’s. Mrs. Garrick and Jordan were first on the scene followed quickly by Aunt Gwen, Morgan and Tim. Next came Mr. Pete Jack and his son Nolan. They were in town for Nolan’s orientation at UNCC. He just graduated from Garner High School this spring! Ms. Velma and her sister Pat showed up next and finally my cousins Gennetha and Brianna and my friends Jessica and Jazmine. We had a full house before we knew it!
After everyone had had enough pizza and salad, Nolan and I headed off to Aunt Gail’s house to recover a scale to weigh the bags while everyone else started packing the two designated suitcases. Surprisingly, we got almost everything in the two suitcases and both were under the 50lb. limit!
After we joined hands and prayed, we said our goodbyes and most everyone went home. One more day!
