Ohio Bound in October!!

Ok so I have like 30 seconds to post then I have to get on with the daily duties! Just wanted you all to know that our prayers were answered! We are in the October training class! Noah will have his dog before Halloween!!

I'll post a more detailed post in a little while but for now, I have to get to a shower, school work, lunch, laundry, and therapy!!

The checks are in the mail!

I over night mailed the remaining checks to 4 Paws today! It is guaranteed to arrive there by 12 Noon tomorrow! Please continue to pray that we make the October class! A little birdy told me that there might be a couple more spots in the October class so I'm just holding my breath and praying until I get the official word!!

Noah is so excited!! I've told him we should be going to get his dog around Halloween or around his birthday depending on which class we get into!

Now we have a very detailed video we have to get to work on!!

Doing a Happy Dance!!

We are all doing a "Happy Dance" around the house tonight!! Although it is not official just yet, WE HAVE MET OUR FUNDRAISING GOAL!!!! We have to wait to receive the 'official' word from 4 Paws for Ability once they receive the remaining money! I will be over-nighting the remainder first thing Monday morning!!

Thanks to the generous love offering collected this morning by our church, we have received the last little bit we had needed to reach our goal! While it has been a long journey, the fun is just about to begin! Once the goal has 'officially' been reached, 4 Paws will begin training a dog specifically for Noah and his needs! We will not know what type, sex, breed, or anything about his dog until we are about ready to go meet him/her! Usually about a week or so before our scheduled training, Noah will receive a very special e-mail from his new furry friend! It will tell Noah all about his dog and even include a picture!

So for now, we pray and wait! First we will wait to see just when we will be able to go to training and meet Noah's dog. Remember that the training facility has to have AT LEAST 6 months to train Noah's dog. Therefore the earliest we will be able to get to training will be October. If the October class has already been filled, we will have to wait until January or February of 2010. So today I ask you to pray, pray, pray that we will be able to make the October class!!

I'll post as soon as I have the official word!!

Thanks to all of you who have already donated! If it wasn't for all of you we wouldn't be as close as we are today! Give yourself a pat on the back!
