Just over $1,800 earned at our garage sales on Friday and Saturday!! YEAH! We earned just over $1,200 on Friday, then almost $500 today. I had also forgot to total in a few checks, giving us a grand total of just over $1,800. We couldn't be happier with how well we did. This money is going to be a HUGE help with our recent round of adoption bills!
We couldn't have done this without the help of our amazing friends and family. Those who donated items for our sale, those who baked items for us to sell, those who helped us price and sort, those that helped us run the sales, and of course, those that prayed for us!
We are also very thankful for my parents, who were there to help price, helped set up both days, helped run the entire sale both days, and brought additional items to sell. They are always so supportive and helpful, and we couldn't have done it without them! They are so excited and anxious to bring Ramya home as well, and it's awesome to have such great support behind us!
There was a very good chance of rain on both Friday and Saturday, but we were praying BIG TIME that there would be no rain. Both days, there were grey clouds and wind, but there was no rain. On Saturday, we brought everything in after our sale. About 10 minutes later, it started pouring down rain. It was crazy! It was as if God was reminding us that He is in control, and that He has our back :).
I'm also excited to say that this total does not include our two latest donations! Today, my friend Mary, her husband George, and there adorable kiddos, Alena and Teague, dropped by the sale on their way out of town. While they were visiting, Mary told us that instead of their usual Christmas donations, they have decided to donate to bring Ramya home instead. YEAH!!!! I'm so thankful for their friendship, and their generosity!! They are always there for us, and it means so much! I also got a note from my good friend, Sue, who has always been there to support us and somehow always knows just what I need to hear. She is amazing! She told me she had some furniture to put up for sale and has decided to sell it for a donation to our adoption fund. Whatever she makes on the furniture will go to help bring Ramya home. YEAH!!!! I am so thankful for such amazing friends!!
If you are reading this, and following our journey, thank you for your support!
