Friends & Family,
Our yard sale turned out to be an amazing experience! Not only did we earn an unbelievable amount of cash for the adoption, but more importantly, we had the opportunity to spend our day with some quality friends. Kristen and I woke up at 5:00 a.m., loaded the cars and the kids by 5:45, and at 6:05 a.m. we were at
Genesis Church setting up and ready by 7. We had a huge turnout of support in volunteers, donors, and customers. In spite of the 95 degree temperature, there was a steady stream of customers until after 2 p.m.
We would like to thank Pastor Chris Miller for allowing us to use the church parking lot, which drew in a ton of customers. We would also like to thank everyone that donated their belongings and their time. Everyone is extremely busy....taking the time to look through your belongings and coordinating to drop off your items are truly appreciated. Thanks! Additionally, the crew of 12 people that "hung-out" all day wheeling and dealing deserve a big thanks! That was some hard work, and all of you smiled and had fun the whole time.
At the end of the day, we had a truck-bed and Jeep full of unsold clothes that we gave to Goodwill. After adding up the cash from the yard sale, we made a whopping $1,207.63!!!
Here are some pictures from the day:
