Yard Sale Success :)

Our yard sale was a huge success thanks to our wonderful friends and church family!  We had friends come help us sort and price all day on Friday.  Then we had friends come help us set things out at 6:30 on Saturday morning.  We had friends help during the yard sale, and friends who helped us pack up everything left over and get it over to Miracle Hill Saturday afternoon.  We are so thankful for everyone who helped!  We had more items donated than we knew what to do with, which is part of why our yard sale was so successful.  I didn't have much yard sale experience coming into this, but from what I learned, the more items you have at a yard sale, the better your odds are of having a successful one.  So thank you to everyone who donated!  We made almost $2,600 from the yard sale.  We split what we made with another family in our church that is adopting so were able to put $1,300 towards our adoption expenses.  This is a lot more than we expected, and we are so thankful! :) 

It is so encouraging and humbling to see our friends and family come along side us in this adoption process. Thank you!  We cannot say that enough!  We could not do this without you! 

Our T-shirt fundraiser continues until July 31st.  If you would like to buy a T-shirt, please click on the page link on this blog for instructions on how to do so.  We are excited about our T-shirt fundraiser! 

Also, we are still selling puzzle pieces for $10 until they are all gone.  Our puzzle is starting to take shape, but we still have plenty of pieces left.  If you would like to buy a puzzle piece, please click on our YouCaring link on this blog. 

We had our last home study visit on Saturday afternoon after our yard sale.  So we are almost finished!  Once our home study is completed, then we will be able to apply for a few grants.  We have raised about $3,700 so far, but we still have a long way to go.  Our adoption will cost anywhere from $12,000-$24,000 depending on what state our baby is born in.  We would appreciate prayers as we continue to raise money for our adoption. 

Thank you, again, for loving us well!
