I'm sorry I haven't posted this earlier in the day! I emailed the winners earlier today once I got the results from Random.org but I haven't had a chance to actually sit down and write a post. After we got all the entries, we created a spreadsheet and then used Random.org to help come up with the three top winners. Random.org is crazy to me....it says they don't use just math algorithms but atmospheric noise to create the randomness. I don't even know what it means but I trust they know what it means! Hah! Anyway, we want to say that we are SO grateful to everyone that purchased tickets for this raffle to support our adoption. Every time we do a fundraiser we are blown away by your generosity and support and God's faithfulness! Seriously, thank you all so much. We made a little over $1500 which is amazing! I actually looked up a flight to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from Charlotte today and the average cost was $1500!! Seriously!! So, that is a huge help! We are planning more fundraising and applying for grants to help with the rest of the flights because we will need to pay for 2 trips. So stay tuned! :)
So the winner of the Kindle Fire HD is Beverly B. The coolest thing ever is that TODAY is actually her birthday! She was so surprised! :) Congratulations Beverly!
The winner of the Target gift card is Jessica M. and the winner of the WFU/Vanderbilt football tickets is Megan B. Megan said her dad and brother LOVE Wake Forest so I hope that her family has fun at the game!
Thank you all again for your support!
Love,
The Hunts

New October Number
Our number for this month is still...
Isn't that a pretty number 8?? While we were hoping to move up a few spots we know that God is working out all the details of this crazy wait! Last October we were #29. We also know that the courts in Ethiopia are open again and we are hopeful that we will get a referral soon for our sweet little daughter!
Once we get a referral, we will wait to be assigned a court date. Once we get that date we will make plans to travel to Ethiopia and we will be there for 5 days. After that we will come home and have to say goodbye to our little sweetie and wait for an Embassy date. Then, after we get assigned an Embassy date we will be able to head back to Ethiopia and stay for a few days and then bring our daughter forever home!!
So, if you're interested in helping support our adoption, we are doing a Kindle Fire HD Raffle right now to help with the costs of those flights. The runner up gets a $20 gift card to Target. Each ticket is $5 and you can purchase them via Paypal over there to the right or in person. Also, if you share the Raffle after you donate, then you can get an extra entry by leaving a comment that you did it.
We are praying that we (including our sweet daughter that we have yet to meet) would know this verse to be true:
