Garage Sale Final Total....

What a whirlwind weekend! I'm a little exhausted and sunburned, but I am in great spirits! The only word to sum up this weekend is 'phenomenal.'

Here are a few pictures to document this epic garage sale....

My sister and mom by my side. Notice the t-shirts??!!


The garage sale wrapped from the front yard, through the garage, to the backyard.











And some signs my sister helped me make....




When we headed into this weekend we were already amazed at the $6300 that had been donated and fundraised for our family in a short couple months. Our friends, coworkers, church family, and friends of friends have been incredibly generous and supportive in this endeavour.

We knew when God called us to adopt we didn't know how we could make it happen on our own. We have trusted that God would provide what He calls, and since we announced our plans to adopt money has trickled in. People have been so supportive and given to our adoption as they felt lead. Nate and I have been in awe by this experience and the amazing generosity of others.

And this weekend is a true testament to how only God can provide. Through His grace and the generosity of so many we were able to reach a grand total of $3100 this weekend. That leaves us with a total of $9400 raised for the adoption in just a few short months!! Our fundraising goals was $10,000 but in reviewing the adoption paperwork we will only need to write a first check for $8790. Which leaves some carry-over room for the next goal of approximately $5800 to submit our dossier.

I wish I could express our thanks to everyone. I have said this over and over, but we couldn't fulfill our dream of expanding our family without your help.

A sincere thank-you from the bottom of our hearts.
