Wow! That is how I feel about our yard sale. The weather was not cooperating with us and we decided at the last minute to go ahead a do it instead of postponing. It sprinkled off and on all day Saturday and we we kept dragging things in and out of the garage so they wouldn't get ruined. Despite the rain and our last minute advertising people came out to the sale. I met so many lovely people that wanted to support our adoption, some who have also adopted. It was so nice. We've never had a yard sale before and we didn't know what to expect, especially since we live on a court without a lot of traffic. I was shocked when we counted our earnings and ended up with about $2,200!!! Can you believe it?!? As you know we have a very big agency fee coming up in a couple weeks, we were expecting to need to get a loan and now we will be able to make the payment and put off getting a loan for a while longer. Praise God! Thank you to everyone who was involved in the yard sale in any way, from donating items, to picking up donated items (mom, Ian, Ashley), to helping me organize, sort, and price things (Heather), to praying for our yard sale, working at the yard sale (Franny), and coming out to our yard sale.
About our documents: On Friday I overnighted our documents to the courier. I was so stressed out about it! Something about letting go of the documents i've been working on for so many months and placing them in the hands of FedEx was just so hard. It didn't help that I've never used FedEx before and I was worried I might have done something wrong. I'm happy to report that they made it to the courier just fine and are now at the Department of State getting authenticated, next week they will go to the Embassy of China, and then to our Agency.
