Our adoption agency, New Life Family Services, held a fundraising event on Tuesday night up in Bloomington, "Girls Night Out!". Micah was contacted a few months ago by NLFS, asking if she wanted to have a table there selling her baked goods. Naturally, she said, "YES!"
I volunteered to go along with her and help out. Little did I know my job would start way earlier than 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday! But we got it done. Bribed a group of girls who had arrived early ("will work for cookies") to help us carry our stuff in and got it all set up. And waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . and then . . .
Before the event actually started, Micah had sold out of all of her chocolate chip cookies! She was excited! Our favorite customer was the woman who's daughter had just taught her how to use Venmo. She came back three times to practice, each time spending more than the time before!
We also loved seeing all the NLFS staff that we've gotten to know over the years. Our social worker Brita was there and sadly, her Venmo wasn't working for her at all. Micah said, "I trust you. You can send me a check."
Micah did well, bringing home just a few cupcakes and cookies.
