Our garage Sale




This weekend we held our adoption fundraising garage sale. It turned out to be amazing! We had about 12 families graciously donate items and our garage and part of our neighbors garage were full of garage sale items! Adam designed all of our sale signs and they looked amazing!!! We had the sale for two days and our grand total was $1050.00!!!!!!!!!! We are so blessed and so amazed that we were able to raise so much. Thank you to all of you who donated items or your time for this. We are surrounded with so many wonderful family and friends!!!
We have also to date raised $2100.00 in monetary donations!!!! Thank you to all who have donated!!!

So we have raised over $3000 so far!!!
Starting this week we are applying for grants. Please pray for us as we do this.

Thanks, again, to all of you who have helped us out so much!!!
I have been day dreaming about our son so much lately. I cant wait to get my arms around him and love on him. Before this adoption I always wondered how I would feel about an adopted child and I already love this child that I don't even know the same as the girls. I am such and impatient person and this is so rough on me. But God wants to teach me patience so I am learning. Oh I cannot wait to meet you our sweet baby boy!
