Adoption Fundraiser Yard Sale

All week Mom and I have been getting for our yard sale. Since last October, I have had family and friends donate items towards our Yard Sale. Last Saturday, I went to all the neighbors and told them we were going to advertise as a Neighborhood Yard Sale in hopes of getting more customers. Thankfully, enough wanted to participate.

It had been so hot & humid outside ALL WEEK. I was praying it would not rain (although we needed it). The weather was PERFECT! I even had to put a jacket because it got a little chilly. The yard sale went great! We sold a lot. We made about $170 and have some left over for another yard sale. It was about 2:30 and we started packing the stuff up when the rain started. Great timing!

I am extremely tired, but it's $170 more than we had yesterday and will definitely help towards the cost of the adoption.

Praying for a speed up with the Adoption Process!

We had our Home Study Update

We had our 12 month home study update on Monday 6/4. I left work early so I could go home and clean. Also gave me time to let the dogs run off some energy. It was pouring down rain.
She arrived at 6:15 and I have to be honest, she made me very nervous. She seemed rushed and didn't smile. I thought "I'm going to force you to like me" so I just smiled and smiled. We talked for about 5 minutes and answered questions. We then had to have separate meetings. Chad went first. I went back to the computer room really upset that she couldn't have been more friendly and happy for us. Chad came and got me and told me it was my turn. I walk in the kitchen and she is just smiling. I thought what did Chad say to her (or do) to turn her around. Chad and I laugh and joke around about it.

She was only at our house for about 40 minutes. I sent off our police, child abuse checks. Our home study doesn't expire until 7/5.

Chad and I are so glad it's over! (so are our dogs)
