YARD SALE TIME

Wow where to start..  One week ago Josh and I had our appointment for fingerprinting down in Fort Myers.   We're almost ready for Step 2.   Step 1 would be the paper chase or the collection of documents for our Dossier.   Next is the submitting of the Dossier to Ethiopia.   Now I'm starting to get the butterflies and excitement that this is really truly happening!   I'm sure some are confused but that.. but I have really kept my emotions in check.. sure I weep and sob at watching our friends adoption stories...but I keep thinking that its such a far off dream and slowly and surely we are moving forward!  

To help us get through to Step 2 we are required to have payments made before the dossier can be sent to Ethiopia.   To help offset those costs we are having a Yard Sale!   First off THANK YOU!! to all our friends and new supporters of our adoption at First Baptist Church who have donated items for our sale.   The amount of stuff in our garage, spare bedroom and warehouse is growing and growing!  We have been blown away by the generosity.

The Yard Sale will be Sept 30th- Oct 1st.   We'll be accepting donations til Sept 29th.   We have a truck so we will be more then happy to come and pick stuff up.   We're also making Survival Bracelets as a fundraiser.   More info to come!    Thank you again to all who love and are supporting us with your thoughts and prayers.
