It's that time again!

Yard Sales are going strong right now! Ours is not far behind. I talked with our neighbor on Thursday night and she is all for a neighborhood sale again this year. She and another neighbor have always been the organizers. We are discussing for mid April. We should have an exact date within a week or so.

Last year our sale was a success. This is an easy fundraiser for us! We seem to always accumulate a huge amount in one year plus we get so many donations to sell. We even have items to pick up today! Since we expect this sale to be so large, we also plan on having a follow up sale in Decatur, if necessary. Our goal this year is $1000.00 . We have already sold our table and chairs, bakers rack, and treadmill. So to start our sale we already have $350!!

I don't want to forget...
We have had the most amazing emails, phone calls, texts, and messages this week! We are truly blessed and loved. Jeremy is so strong so I don't worry about him often. He stays so positive and always finds the good in the situation. I started realizing this week that this is all supposed to be happening. I know that sounds crazy but I mean exactly what it says. We all know God has your life planned way before you live it but there are times you think, that wasn't supposed to happen that way. I will break down a few milestones for you...
2008 begin planning for a child
2009 fertility clinic
2010 adoption begins
2011 turned 30 (can adopt from China!)
2012 the year that everything becomes final in China
February: did not receive referral due to paperwork glitch
March: did not receive referral due to no match
I have finally realized that these weren't bad points in our timeline! These were supposed to happen because Grace, our perfect little Grace was not in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, February, or March. God can't promise that we will understand why things happen at that moment and He can't promise we will always feel on top of the world. BUT He will provide! I have to scoot (as I say "scootch") over and let him take the wheel. He's got this! And she's coming in perfect timing.

Thank YOU for being such good friends and sharing your love with us!

Much love,
