Rummage Sale Success!

 With The many helping hands our GIANT Rummage sale was a huge 

 God Truly Exceeded our Expectations!!! Our Grand total that we Raised
Was.....................$5,300.00

Without the many helpers or as I call them 
 Angels!!! We would have not been able to pull this off, So a Huge Thank You is in order to those who stayed up late setting up, who folded the many many clothes, who cooked us breakfast, who fed us lunch, who came everyday to give support, to the shoppers, and to the clean up crew! we couldn't have done it without you!!!!!!!

updates on the rummage sale & the adoption!!

 All things are POSSIBLE with GOD!!!

This week is going to be a super busy week, we will be setting up on Thursday for our Huge Rummage sale on Friday and Saturday!!!! 

 If you have been holding on to donations for the sale you can start bringing them to the church today! Thank you so much for holding on to them we have actually ran out of room storing things which is so awesome. 

 Update on our home study process,
Also this week on Wednesday will be our second counseling session for our home-study, which is very exciting because we only have one left after that and we will soon be home study approved!!! Which means= If we are a good match they will pull our profile for Birth-mothers to view!!!!! so so exciting!

The suspense is killing me!

OK I just can't wait any longer for the rest of the little banks to come in! I still have a few out there so I will add to the total when they come in, but for now the suspense is killing me! I just have to know and let you all know how awesome you all did on saving your change 

 and how it will change our lives forever!

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!.............................................................

 The Grand Total on the Little Banks Fundraiser is - $5,198.47

 

some updates and Mens night!!

Well to start off here are some updates.....

We are slowly but surly getting the little banks all back as soon as they are all back i will be posting the Grand Total that the little banks brought it!!!! I know so many are anxiously awaiting that!

also, our first meeting went very well, I got a little emotional which for me is unusual, but I am really excited to be finally to a real start with this, we have some homework to get done before the next meeting on wed the 24th! and we will be getting fingerprinted soon and and criminal background done also.



My dad wanted to have a mans night at church for all the men and he was going to smoke chicken on his smoker him and my brother have built and fry some fish up, and we had some people help with some of the desserts and my mom got the sides, and then my dad was like hey Hun... we should just buy this stuff and take up a love offering not for the supplies but give it to the kids, so the mans night was a hit for the guys and for us!  The guys brought in $453.00!!!!! thank you so so much to my amazing parents and all the guys who donated for our cause! Thank you Anna d for taking these pics or me since girls weren't allowed except the Photographers! lol!

 The cooker and the food mmmmm......

 Waiting in line to Feast like Vikings!

The cook, one of the helpers and the eaters!

 Roll testing!

The Journey will officially begin on April 11th!!!

We have our first meeting with Darla our Adoption Specialist on April 11th 2013. 

I am so so excited!!!!! Had a few rough patches with finding out another family member is pregnant, my sister-in-law is pregnant with their second child and Justin's sister is also pregnant but with their first child they just had a gender reveal party, they are having a boy. It is exciting and heartbreaking at the same time! I am super excited for the both of them!!! Easter has come and gone and I was very emotional watching an episode of "The Bible" on the history channel of MY GOD getting crucified, tears were streaming and I got to thinking He has a plan for all of us and I have been very patient in waiting to see his plan unfold and it has not been anything close to what Jesus had to go through being mocked and beaten for what!!!! So I know he has given me even more strength to keep being patient for the ultimate plan! And that this little one will be.....

And this baby will be the baby God has intended us to always have, this baby has already been written in our plan, and that is just so amazing! God can do ANYTHING! If we just believe.

Please turn in your change and little banks!!!

Hey everyone remember these!!! 

It is already that time to start returning your change you have saved up and sending those little banks back our way! 

We thank you so much for saving your change, that will soon help change our lives forever :)

Cant wait to let you all know the total from all the change!
