We're in deep now!

Last night at the end of the meeting in Kansas City I stood up and said "Amanda and I need a place to stay. Somewhere north of Kansas City so we don't have to get up so early in the morning and we can go to work not wrecked and do this course and live our lives at the same time." After it was determined that no one lived in that direction one guy stood up and said "Why don't we each put in a few dollars and get them a hotel room?!" Well people started throwing money at him, and by the end we had $133!!!! Enough for about 3 nights! It made such a difference for us to have a good sleep and not have so far to drive in the morning. We were both really touched that everyone cared and was generous enough to make sure we were ok. It also really gave us both the space to participate fully in the course rather than dread going down each week, because with the basic human need of sleep covered it makes it that much easier to do anything!
