An Opportunity to Help A Kilimanjaro-Related Charity
I received this email today, and thought I could do the most good with it by sharing the information about it with visitors to our site.
Please read below.

Dear Jonathan
My name is Howard Chinner and I work in a voluntary capacity, assisting the trustees of Village Education Project (Kilimanjaro) – a charity which has benefited from your support.
If you would like to help the charity at no cost whatsoever, then I wonder if you would consider using ‘everyclick’ as your search engine for your internet searches.
This can be set up as your website search ‘homepage’ or you can just put ‘everyclick’ in your ‘Favourites’ list and use it as and when you like.
If you select Village Education Project (Kilimanjaro) as your chosen charity, then every time you use Everyclick the charity will receive a donation (a percentage of Everyclick’s profit). This will paid monthly using Charities Aid Foundation.
If you would like to do this, and thereby help Village Education Project (Kilimanjaro) to get some extra income, please just click on the link below. You will then see a page with various blue icons. The easiest is to select the first from the left ["Become a registered supporter"] and become a registered supporter. You just enter the details requested and that is that. The only other thing is to start using Everyclick when you search on the internet – and the charity will benefit.
Many thanks indeed, and please copy this to your friends and colleagues to help Village Education Project (Kilimanjaro) even more.
Howard Chinner
Volunteer Assistant to the Trustees

I’m desperatly hunting for a wedding dress right now. So, I thought it might be fun to be a dress designer. What do you think of this one?
No? You don’t like that one? Ok, how about this one?

Carrie’s visited states
I decided when I was ten years old, and realized that I had been to ten states, that I would visit all 50 states before I was 50 years old. I have a rule that I have to spend the night in the state or it doesn’t count. It seems as if I’m making progress.
That’s 33 states visited at age 25. How many states have you visited? Click here to generate your own map, and please post it in the comments!

Dinosaurs apparently came in all shapes and sizes, and letters
We were at Target the other night, and we were walking through the toy section. We say all these multi-colored “pills” on the floor. When we picked them up, we realized that they were those foam things that expand and turn into something when placed in hot water. Someone had opened a package of dinosaur expandable capsules and most of them landed on the floor. We decided to take them home and see how they worked. Here’s what the package looked like:
After they all expanded, this is what they look like.
The captions are our best guesses for what they are. I don’t really see many dinosaurs in there… Do you?

Important Health Tip
It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of water each
day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria found in feces. Body waste.
In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do not run
that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, beer or other liquor) because
alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling or filtering
and/or fermenting.
WATER = Poop
WINE = HEALTH
Hence: It is better to drink wine and talk stupid than to drink water and
be full of s***.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information.
I am doing it as a public service.

And they’re off…
Today marked a very sad occasion. At 11:58 am our friends, Sara, Ernie, and Samuel backed their car out of the driveway next door for the very last time. They will soon arrive in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The neighborly friendship was a great one. We are just sad that it was so short. It seems as if we had just gotten to know them, even though we’ve known them for close to four years already. Jonathan and I will no longer be able to watch their wonderful son grow up on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis. We will now be suffered to see him only through pictures online – for awhile. Sara was always the person who would run over to our house if we were gone, just to see if we closed the garage door. They were our post office and got and stored our mail while we were gone on our trip this summer. We loved our dinner and game nights at their house. Good times were always had. We wish them all the best in their new jobs, home, and life in Indiana. We are grateful for all the time we got to live next door to them. We look forward to visits (both to see them, and for them to see us).
Thanks for being such amazing people Sara and Ernie! Good luck!

Working Wednesday #4
Since the weather has been so nice here recently, I thought it would be really fun to be a dog walker, that is, until I saw this picture. But who knows, maybe I could still make it my new profession. After all, that girl in “In Her Shoes” did.
By the way…if you want to buy “In Her Shoes” with Toni Collette, Cameron Diaz, and Shirley MacLaine, you can right here.

Shove Memorial Chapel
I thought it would be nice for all of you to see pictures of the chapel where we’re getting married in Colorado Springs. More pictures can be seen in the extended entry.
Here is the picture that made us choose to visit Shove. I’m not sure who took it, or how they got it that light, but it’s gorgeous!

My sisters have this on their blogs. I thought I’d copy them. I’ll put it in a post for now, until I add it to where it can be seen every time.
