By now most of you have probably seen our Bundle of Joy surprise with Kyle and Samantha Busch.
Some of you told us you saw the surprise live on Samantha's snap chat, and many of you saw the photo Kyle Busch tweeted of us to his followers. Once that happened our phones did not stop going off. Within just a few hours we were getting calls and text from family and friends. We even had strangers reaching out to congratulate us. That's the awesome power social media can have.
No fan base is more loyal than NASCAR fans. Being a NASCAR fan myself, I can tell you that we will buy products just because they sponsor their favorite driver. NASCAR fans are very giving as well, and they often support the charities of the driver they cheer for. Bundle of Joy is part of the Kyle Busch Foundation.
Now to most charities a $15,000 donation would go a very long way. When it comes to IVF however, $15,000 is only one round for one couple. Needless to say, Bundle of Joy is always in need of donations and creative ways to bring those donations in. Now if you follow NASCAR at all (or even a little) you might know that Kyle Busch sometimes can get a little hot headed. (Don't we all!!) Well back in March of 2017 he and Joey Logano tangled on the track which set of a chain reaction that would lead to us getting $10,000 for our IVF.
When Jarrett and I received our grant, there were media members present to help document the surprise. One of those media members was Théoden James of the Charlotte Observer. He wrote an article that was published about a week after our surprise. I loved this article because it tells where the funds Jarrett and I received came from.
I will let you read the article that I have linked below, because he does a much better job at telling the story than I ever could. I promise this is a great read about Bundle of Joy and Kyle & Samantha Busch.

CHARLOTTE OBSERVER - WHY EVERYTHING IS GREAT
So now that you have read Theoden's article you know why #everythingisgreat.
Many of you have asked where you can purchase your own #everythingisgreat t-shirts at. You can get them here
EVERYTHING IS GREAT T-SHIRT
All proceeds benefit the Bundle of Joy Fund!
It has been really awesome when we see fans wearing the Everything Is Great shirts knowing that their purchase helped us out so much. We try when we see someone with the shirt on to thank them personally.
We promise to post some updates soon on just how our IVF treatments are going.
Nena and Jarrett
