One Month Anniversary! :)

Today we all realized that yesterday was our one month anniversary of participating in the Charitable Challenge! We have a meeting scheduled tonight and cannot believe it will be the last Sunday night meeting of the Challenge. We have had our ups and downs the past month, but the ups far outweigh the downs, and we all cannot fathom our lives without the Challenge! We can only hope we have touched others in this challenge even half as much as the people of this challenge have touched us.

As Lindsay mentioned yesterday, five of us surprised Michael and Richard at the Admiral's game! Their parents told them they were just meeting neighbors at the game, and then we showed up! Michael's face was priceless! Our special dinner was fantastic, and we sat in Row B for the game! We were close enough to pound the glass after each Admiral's goal! It was so fun sitting together; We all have become so close that we can make jokes, laugh at each other, etc. just like old friends. The game was amazing too: Admirals won 7 to 6 in overtime! After the game the boys got to tour the locker room and get autographs, and then they were taken to see the Admiral's bench. It was a great night of bonding and VIP treatment :)

This morning was one of the single most fun activities we've done in the Challenge: We went to the Wauwatosa Fire House on Underwood and served a brunch to Crew #3. We spent four hours together, and we had SO much fun. The morning started with a tour of the house, an introduction of the men, and then we got to put on all of their gear and pose for a few pictures! We were all on cloud nine :) Then we all cooked together. We teamed up to make pancakes, scrambled eggs, toast and most importantly: STEAK! We wanted to spoil these guys with this random act of kindness, because they do so much for the community (in fact, a group of them had to go out on a call right before brunch was served). The guys of Crew #3 were incredible, and we spent the whole morning making fun of each other. They were impressed with our thick skin :) We really hope we can continue a relationship with these guys! They deserve the special treatment!

We're headed into the home stretch, and still have a few more tricks up our sleeves :) Tomorrow we do a few more acts of kindness. Maybe we'll see you at a bus stop! :) Please plan on coming this Thursday to Discovery World at 6 for our final presentation!

Have an amazing week, and go out and do your own random acts of kindness!
