ONE for ONE

This entry really isn't about what is going on in the adoption but instead it is a push for everyone to go out and buy a pair of TOMS.

TOMS are shoes. You can buy them at almost any place that you can purchase shoes, or at least it's like that here in Montgomery.

Blake Mycoskie started TOMS shoes as an effort to help people in Africa. Their promise is "For every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One." I was at a christian leadership summit this past week and Blake Mycoskie was one of the individuals interviewed. His message and story really is amazing. Everyone should go out and buy a pair. Just think - for $30 of $40 you could put a pair of shoes on an actual person, and usually child, in a country in Africa.

I am also very set on this because they give a lot of shoes in Ethiopia! So of course this is something that is close to mine and KC's hearts.

(Note to all of my family members, don't even think about showing up for Thanksgiving this year unless you're wearing a pair of TOMS. Just kidding... or am I?)
