$876 later... I'm broke.
that's 90% of my savings since Jan. 1, 2009.
yay for spending $1000 on a wedding that isn't even my own!
but, i love my brother and Nikki and wouldn't miss this for the world.
I have approximately $7000 committed so far, with about $500 that's been pledged but not given.
that's $5,500 short of my goal.
Still, though, i'm over half-way there.
i'm on my knees and I'm praying that you will all join me there.
it involves lots of prayer and joy and sadness and worry and fear and trust...
that's where I am.
