Wow....

Aaron and I continue to be overwhelmed by the generosity of those around us, helping us bring our baby home.  These next few weeks are about to get crazy, and we are working constantly to make sure these fundraisers are going to go well!  Donations continue to pour in for our yard sale next weekend.  Friends and family, both here and back home are constantly collecting stuff for us and no doubt we will be taking a car load down with us!  Can NOT wait to see what God is going to do with this stuff!  We also got word that a church back home in GA that we have never been to and don't even know the name of, not only got together some things for the sale, but also, the pastor told them instead of taking up an offering they were going to give what they would have normally given to someone who needs it and they gave it to us!! How AWESOME is that? I am just in awe of God working through all of this!

Things are coming together SO well for the concert on the 11th as well.  We've got flyers out everywhere, it's posted on several Raleigh events websites, people are Facebooking and tweeting it like crazy.  Donations are coming in for the silent auction.  So far we've been given a year's worth of free breakfast from Chick-Fil-A, ice cream from Goodberry's, a tote from Minus 1 Project, and a year's worth of shoes from Squeak Me Shoes(these are super cute and it's an adoption driven company!!)!! These will all be a part of our silent auction that night as well as some other things we're working on.  The music is going to be great, there's going to be FREE coffee from a new coffee house in the area, and we are praying for a BIG turnout!!  Wow, I'm getting so excited about the next couple of weeks just seeing it all in writing.  I love seeing how God is providing for our family!

On another note, we've had the first 2 of our 4 homestudy visits already and they have been great! Only 2 more to go and they will be done by Wednesday!  Sunday we're getting a pile of stuff notarized for the dossier, which should pretty much take care of that except for a few small things.  We are getting SO close!! Thanks for all the encouragement in the last post, we so appreciate all of you!
