Yard Sale Pictures

We had our yard sale fundraiser on Saturday. Boy were were tired when it was done!! It was a lot of work to get ready for it, and luckily we had lots of help! Both of our moms and lots of our friends were around several days last week and even for the sale. We couldn't have done it without you guys-thanks SO much!! We were able to raise over $2,300! Praise God! This was such a blessing to us!!
Several people that came by said this was one of the largest yard sales they had ever seen. Thank you again to all the generous people who donated items to help us!! Here are some pictures....

Here are pictures right before we started taking things down, and actually we sold all the furniture you still see here, some people were coming back with a truck later.

After we put all the stuff that didn't sell, this is all we had left. Remember the last pictures had boxes all over the basement and also a full garage. Now we can park in the garage, we just can't use the couch downstairs yet. We will be having part 2 of our yard sale on May 1st at our church.

Yard Sale Fundraiser

We have been collecting items for a couple of weeks now for our yard sale this weekend. All proceeds from the yard sale will help support our adoption. Family and friends have been so supportive in donating items. Some friends have been over spending HOURS with us organizing and pricing the items too! Thanks Marie, Stu, Lindsey, Larcy, and Dan-we really appreciate all the hours you have put in this week so far and will put in later this week too!!

I thought I'd share a few pictures of what our house looks like now too....

this is the two parts of our basement

and here's the garage

Thank you again to all those who have donated and helped! We really appreciate all the support!!

God's perfect timing

I know its been awhile since I've posted anything and several people have asked me why...it's simply because nothing has happened in the last several weeks. We are still waiting. Someone else from IL said it took them several months to receive their I71H back. We've been waiting for about 5 weeks now. So hopefully we should get it soon.

The other day I was reading something about adoption and adoption advice. It said we are not waiting on man's timing, we are waiting on God's timing. There is such peace in that. God already has our child picked out. If we turned our Dossier in at the wrong time, we wouldn't have our child that God has planned for us. I am glad we serve a perfect God who always has a perfect plan for us! We can rest assured everything will happen in God's perfect timing!!!
