Okay - seriously. One of the most awesomest gifts EVER! I seriously was so excited for like 3 hours, around 4 pm, I felt like I needed a serious nap!So yesterday at our Holiday Team Potluck, my awesome team & bible study & a couple other friends at work... surprised me with a cake for my birthday and a gift! It was the sweetest thing ever!!! Total surprise since they had already taken me out the day before!
But then when they said.. "for your birthday, we got you a goat!" I was like... WHAT?! And then they handed me the certificate that said that I now had a goat...
"a dairy goat for children in countries like Haiti and Kenya. A goat nourishes a family with protein-rich milk, cheese, and yogurt, and can offer a much-needed income boost by providing offspring and extra dairy products for sale at the market. It even provides fertilizer that can dramatically increase crop yields!"FREAKING AWESOME!!!! I could not be happier with any other gift! It was seriously!! Sooooo awesome! And I loved that they had come together to do this!! And not just that.. they had more money to purchase a couple other gifts, that I get to choose from (such as clean water, education or health)... Seriously... I could not explain how thrilled I was for this goat... Am I odd? hahahah :)
You want one? Or a duck, a pair of chickens, or even better ... a COW?! www.worldvision.org

Haha, that's great! Enjoy your goat!
That is such a coincidence. I just heard about this organization at our company holiday lunch. I am not sure if we support this exact organization, but I heard we support an organization that does this very thing. They give families chickens, goats, and cows for the very same reason.
It's totally amazing! I am so glad that you appreciated the gift so much. Some people would be like 'what? this is dumb', but you have such a big caring heart that you truly understand the importance and need of people in impoverished countries, and how much it means to their family to receive such a wonderful gift!
