Yard Sale #2

Yesterday, we finished up our last yard sale of the year! The rain held off which was great, but we still didn't have a very big turnout. Regardless, we are thankful that God provides us with these opportunities and are always eager to see what HE is up to! We are so blessed! We couldn't have pulled this off without help from my Mom and Tommy who let us use their vehicles to transport everything to Brevard. Also, We were so blessed to have two sweet boys who were willing to donate some of their toys to help us bring our child home. We are so thankful for the continued love and support! 

 We didn't unpack everything just in case it started to rain on us!

We are currently doing a Dave Ramsey Financial Study and will be selling Allan's car this week. We had to take the Adoption Sticker off his car in order to sell it, but were able to cut it down and now it is on my car! We hope that people will check out the blog and get to read about what God is doing in our lives through this adoption process. All the Glory to God! We wouldn't be where we are without HIM!

Also, We have some friends who felt led to send out a letter to their family and friends asking if they will "Adopt a Family" who is Adopting! Really neat idea and looking forward to what may come from that! :)

What's going on...

We finished up our online auction on Facebook on the 15th, it turned out well. We had a few glitches but nothing too major. We are so thankful that another couple shared this idea with us, and we have had several people ask when we will be doing another!

We have looked into doing a flapjack fundraiser at Applebee's where we sell tickets in advance to a breakfast on a Saturday morning at Applebee's. We are working on getting a date for this and will need to find some volunteers who will be willing to be up bright and early to help serve the food. :)

We have another yard sale this coming Saturday, the July 27th on Rosman Highway and hope to get rid of the rest of our yard sale stuff!!

 It's hard to believe it's already been 4 months now since we sent in our Dossier! Seems like the time has passed by quickly as we stay busy with fundraisers. I just hope the rest of our time flies by so we can bring our child home! We pray everyday for our little one and can't wait to meet them!

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

Texas Roadhouse

Thanks Texas Roadhouse!!

 We had our Texas Roadhouse Fundraiser on Monday, July 1st from 4-10pm. We teamed up with Annette and Bob, another couple who are adopting and had a great turnout! It is so neat to see how God continues to put people in our lives at just the right time. HE never ceases to amaze me! We are so thankful for Texas Roadhouse letting us do this and for everyone who came out to support us! We are blessed with such great friends, who go out of their way to help in anyway they can! We have a close friend, who invited her whole small group to come eat and also posted flyers at the post office! We are just so blessed! It makes the journey so much better with our friends by our side.

They posted our flyer on the door!
