What a weekend!

This weekend was a whirlwind to say the least!  We had our fundraiser garage sale on Friday and Saturday. In addition to raising money to bring home our sweet guy, here are some highlights of the weekend:

*starting weeks ago, we had so many generous people donate items for the garage sale. The amount of stuff we had was somewhat overwhelming…but what a great problem to have!

*When I announced on Facebook that we wanted to do a bake sale, I had 6 people within 20 minutes offer to bake! All of these people were from ZPS (what an awesome place that I get to work!).

*Our sale was set to open at 12:30 on Friday…Chris had a rush of people shortly before 11:00!

*Shoppers were so generous, many making donations or offering that we “keep the change”!

*Many acquaintances who were unable to make it to the sale donated instead!

*The neighbor boys visited the sale often. At one point, one asked “how much more money do you need to adopt him?” He was bound and determined that we would raise enough money to cover the entire adoption!

*We got to meet a sweet, sweet little girl from the subdivision across the road who was adopted from China (their family even went through the same agency from Colorado). Sam had so much fun playing with her!

*So many people asked about our little guy, his health condition, when we get to travel, our adoption journey…and shared their experiences and support.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped us in ANY way. We appreciate it!
