Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

We want to shout out a huge "THANK YOU" to all the families that helped with our fundraiser yard sale. It was a huge success. It was the biggest yard sale I have ever seen! People donated, people helped set up, people helped watch my kids, people gave so much of themselves to make this possible. In the 3 days of the sale we were able to raise $2,500. And we still have several bigger items that we are going to sell on Craigslist, so I still don't have a "final" total of what we'll raise.

Thank you to my mother-in-law for helping me pull every item out of the garage and get it priced. Thank you to my mom for staying for 4 days to be with my kids and keep my home in order. Thank you to my husband for doing all those, "Honey, would you please ... " without grumbling and complaining. Thank you to the 15 families that donated items and sacrificially gave their time and resources. Thank you to the families that gave finanicial contributions. Thank you to all the words of encouragement and love that was given through phone, email, Facebook, etc. It was difiicult and humbling to receive all the help, but I know I couldn't have done it without all of you. Thank you for sharing in our vision and love for the little girl we are longing to bring home. We feel so rich indeed. Bless you.

  1. Glad your yard sale was such a success!
    To answer your question - from what I've seen it's been taking about 1 month to get a court date and people are still getting through, so it looks good for you! :)
