Pay it forward...

So the holidays are here. I am freaking out on a daily basis because I am scared I about the expense, I am worried that I will not have the perfect gifts for my family and friends. I have been reading Ria's blog about the children of Uganda. Yep, pretty sure they are not concerned about bills, Nintendo DS's, or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. They are more concerned about eating, safety, and education. They are not worried about what they will be getting but more likely who they can give back to. So it was decided that we are going to sponsor a child. We are very premature in the process-I literally just commented that we want to move forward with this. After all if I want to be the change I want to see in the world I better start with ours.

http://rialeephotography.com/blog/ I encourage you all to join in the effort....

On a seperate note here is the official 2010 Tortorice Christmas card:



What do you think? I am pretty happy with it and I got a smoking deal on it!
