Yard Sale Update........and the WINNER of the Mountain Getaway!!

Well, the yard sale has come and gone, and I can maybe get a little of my sanity back!  We were up bright and early yesterday morning at 4:30am(for those of you that know me, that's a miracle in itself! Especially when the temperature was a crisp 26 degrees :) ). We had the help of some awesome friends who were also up at the crack of dawn to help us get everything set out.  Somehow I managed to not take any pictures of the actual set up of the sale. We had what we thought was a great turnout considering the weather and the fact that our yard looked like this not one hour after we got everything back inside! 
Yep, that's snow! And it kept snowing all night, it was beautiful! After everything was said and done, the Lord truly blessed us and allowed us to make almost $600 with our yard sale and we are SO thankful!  We are that much closer to sending in our contracts and being on our way to bringing our baby home! A huge thanks to everyone that donated, prayed, shopped, and stood out in the freezing cold to help us out yesterday, we are truly blessed!!


And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for!!!  Tonight concludes the getaway giveaway part of our $20 Difference fundraiser.  We are going to continue to have this as part of our fundraising but the deadline to be entered in the giveaway ends now.  We have raised over $1600 in three weeks through this fundraiser and each day we are just completely floored by how the Lord continues to provide for this baby through the generosity of others.
The winner is: Pam and Mark W.  Congratulations!!

Thank you all so much for your generosity and prayers throughout our journey!  We've got more updates on where we are in the process coming soon!!
