Garage Sale Results...

Wow, what an amazing three days at our Adoption Benefit Garage Sale! We had over 20 families donate items for us to sell, and let me tell you that we had a HUGE variety of stuff to sell! Especially clothes...wow, I've never seen so many!

We made $2,473.93 ...absolutely unbelievable! I told Austin from the beginning that I would be happy if we made $1,000 and blown away if we made $2,000. And to think we made nearly $2,500! Our Lord is so good! I'm telling everyone that I think Jesus multiplied $20 bills because it doesn't seem like we took in that much money. Praise Jesus for His provision! Between donations from people, t-shirt sales, and what we made off of the garage sale, we have enough to cover the rest of our home study fees ($500), our next payment to Carolina Adoption Services ($3,500) and our payment to USCIS ($830). Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!

Thank you to everyone who donated items, came out to work with us, came out in support of our sale, and prayed for us. You will never know just how much of a blessing you are to our family!

Thanks especially to our families. My mom spent two very long days with us and didn't slow down the entire time. She kept everything so organized and neat, and she was such a huge help with Caleb, too. And we wouldn't have had the great trailer and tent if it weren't for Austin's parents. Austin's mom spent all day Saturday helping us with the sale and with Caleb, too. We are truly blessed with wonderful families!

Thanks most of all to Jesus, for calling us to this adoption and making us get uncomfortable. We are learning more and more every day what it means to depend on Him.

And to our little girl in Moldova...we did all of this for you. We love you so much already and want to bring you home to your family! We're coming as fast as we can!
