Auction fundraiser for Sophia

Ok so I don't know what I am doing LOL.  All I know is I need to raise some funds for Sophia's fund quick, this ride is picking up!  The first trip is going to cost approximately $18,300.00.  (fees $15,250 (that is 1/2 of what is needed in total but it will get me there to meet Sophia) $1,000 (approx. air fare) $2,000 for room and board and transportation)

So what I am purposing is an AUCTION.  I hope this works. It will end September 24, 2011!  Happy Bidding or entry!

They ARRIVED

My documents were delivered this morning at 09:58 to USCIS!  Woo Hoo.  I'm coming baby girl!

Now to raise more money!  Check out the auction and giveaway here on my blog (below or Fundraiser page).  There are great items for gifts.  The holidays will be here before you know it!

USCIS

My documents are on schedule to be with the USCIS on August 25th!  A day before my birthday! 

It is out of my hands

Ok I sent my USCIS paperwork today!

Prior to doing so... I had a question regarding items to send to the USCIS. I tried calling, no luck. I emailed (impatient). So I'm at lunch and a group of people sat down next to us. My co-worker got a call so I had time to people watch (one of my favorite activities). I noticed the badge of the people next to me, USCIS. So I asked them and got my answer! Oh & we were going to go somewhere else for lunch.  Divine intervention to help me try to relax.  Now if a massuse could come my way and work this knot that is growing between my shoulder blades due to excitement and stress.  LOL

So this afternoon I went to Fedex after doing all the leg work on line and getting a barcode for them to scan and then I would be off and running.  Nope.  They couldn't get thier computer to read it, the account number on my paperwork wasn't my full account number so I paid by credit card (no biggie but a little frustrating).  ;)  So my quick run from work wasn't so quick.  OOPS. 

It's here!

Oh my goodness, it is here.  I checked my mail and my home study  was there!  I'm sor excited.  It will get mailed out next week!!
