We did it!

Addison and I have been working very hard over the past month to raise money for her plane ticket to Nebraska. My (Jen's) cousin, Seth Quiring, is getting married in early November in Chicago. He and his bride will be having a reception in Nebraska in late November. I thought this would be a great opportunity for Addison and I to go and visit family. So how did we do it? We set out to collect $200 over a span of 12 weeks, beginning August 1st. It seemed a daunting task, so to keep track, we created a chart to plot our progress. Thanks to family and friends saving thier empty cans and bottles for us, ...and a few football games, we managed to collect the full $200 in the month of August! Addison is elated and looking forward to our plane ride. Now her goal is to collect a little extra to be able to bring some "Nebraska Tshirts" home for the family. Thanks to all you who helped donate your trash....it was definitely our treasure!
