I Love Wendy's!!!

Seriously, Wendy's has long been my favorite fast food stop.....who doesn't love a Frosty?

But even more, I love that Wendys' Dave Thomas Foundation is such an advocate for adoption.

Take a minute...actually, take two and a half minutes and see six lives forever changed because someone said "yes".

(But, first, scroll to the bottom and pause my music.)
