Goal met !!!!

To the anonymous person who dropped a blank envelope in our mailbox:
Your kind words were such a surprise and encouragement. Your generosity is unbelievable!! I love how God has a plan for all things. Your trust in Him is an answered prayer for us. We were a little over $500 short, after our garage sale, from reaching our goal to begin the home study. Your money arrived before we even knew our need. Truly, it was an answered prayer. Thank-you friend! We are hoping to move forward with the home study at the end of the month!!!!

The garage sale was a huge success. We had wonderful conversations with “shoppers” about adoption and shared information about the needs for orphans all over the world. It was so charming to watch people find treasures. We laughed and shared crazy stories all day. We made close to $1300!!!! WOW …. Selling our friends and family’s stuff. Truly, very few things at the garage sale were from our home. It was so encouraging and humbling to see God’s work over the weekend. We are just thrilled!

My Mom took tons of pictures. I will upload soon! It was really a huge sale. 17 directional signs all over Oregon City, contributions from over 13 different families, adoption T-shirts, 150 hot dogs, and signs sharing statistics about orphans in our world.

Thank-you!
Praise Jesus.

3 Days Till The Sale

Yipee!!! We have collected TONS of donations from friends and family and are thrilled for this weekend. We have couches, a washer and dryer, a bed, a hide a bed, tons of kitchen things, clothes, books, and still more mystery treasures in boxes. We have the BEST problem ever ... our garage is so full we can't dig out. Govey (our black lab) sleeps outside now and Kirby (the cat) does not set foot in the garage. Needless to say, we will have a busy Friday trying to sort and price everything.

Everyone should stop by to see the amount of stuff people donated, it will make you day! You can also grab a hot dog or two. We bought over 200 dogs at Costco and are going to be putting on quite a roast! All proceeds will benefit our adoption.

Check out some of the signs I made. They covered the couch! No need to get lost ... just look for the red signs :) Haha!

Thank-you to everyone who made donations. We are so excited for this weekend!

Garage Sale

New fundraiser opportunity!!! We are having a garage sale at the end of August and looking for friends and family to help make donations. We have been encouraged by the stories of our friends who had a garage sale and raised $3,000 in one weekend! That is so amazing!!! If you have anything collecting dust or tucked in the back of your closets we would appreciate your donations.

Thank-you for your support!!!
