Yard Sale Day One!

I just got back from our yard sale location. I am exhausted and very sun burnt.  Irelyn did so great, although as soon as we got home she went right to sleep.  She is very tired!  The yard sale went great today!  We started setting up at 5:30....yes it was freezing.  We did not get finished until about nine and we still didn't have everything priced.  We now know how to do it next time:)  In the end, it all worked out great.  We have some amazing church friends who came and helped a lot.  Thank God for them or nothing would be priced!  The Pehl family all helped so much.  The women made cookies and coffee and cider, all of the men set up.  We so appreciate their support!  We could not have done it without them!  My sister also stopped by for a few hours to share in this sweet experience.

It was a huge success because God blessed it....we knew he would but it is so awesome seeing him work.  He made the weather beautiful and the people generous.  We even met a man who has an antique store who loved the stuff at our yard sale.  He spent almost $500 on yard sale items!  What a blessing!  We only sold about half of what we had to begin with so come by tomorrow to support us!

We have not counted up how much we have made yet but I know it will be just enough to get through the next step of our adoption.  If you did not have a chance to get rid of the unwanted stuff in your garage, we are going to have another sale this summer.  You can donate items anytime and we will store them.
