It's finally arrived!

After all the planning and preparation, Lit Conference 2008 is finally here. All the festivities start today at 2:30, with our volunteer meeting, and the students will arrived around 5:30! The room is set up (with lots of chairs that we pray are filled with students :)) and everything looks great. God has blessed us with an amazing team of people who volunteered their time and resources to help in any capacity!! 

A few shout-outs (in no particular order): 
  • January and Patrick, I seriously don't know how we have made it without you. You've answered all of our phone calls (even though we know you have caller ID). We are so grateful for all your help and all the hours you've given to make Lit a reality. You truly have walked with us the entire way! 
  • Pete and Hollie, you guys are the best! We are so blessed to call you friends AND our pastor/pastors wife. You encourage us to give, in every aspect, at all times. Thank you for taking time in your busy schedule to help us out! We can't believe it's been 5 years since God put us together (it feels like you've always been there). Happy 5 year friend anniversary! We love you!
  • All our volunteers, donors and prayer partners: we are humbled. Thank you, thank you, thank you, etc!!!! Each and every one of you makes our vision a reality! God has used you greatly to touch our lives. May God richly bless you all for giving!! 
  • To my parents, you make us the people we are. Thank you is an understatement. Both of you have encouraged us to continue when we felt we couldn't go on and we always know you have our backs. We love you deeply!!
Thank you all for believing in us!
