Tired but so thankful
We had our huge yard sale yesterday and man am I dead. We started unloading all the priced items at 5:00 and finally went to bed (all clean) at 9:45. It was a tough, hot, humid, but exciting day. We had people constantly at our house ALL DAY. The generousity of people humbled me on many occasions. One woman (who was visibly physically ill, with a long term illness) drove into our driveway and said she couldn't walk around but wanted to make a donation. She handed me a 10.00 check. I became misty and stammered through my thank yous. She was a complete stranger(the check was blank in the pay line) but reached out to help bring an orphan home. WOW. Many, many people wouldn't take change back. Many co-workers gave extra even after their purchases.
HUGE SHOUT OUT to A and K for giving up their saturday to help with the masses. I feel so blessed to have people in our lives that care enough about our little boy too. Hannah and her 3 best buds stood on the corner with huge signs (in 25 mph wind) to help bring in customers. They were the best free advertising in the world.

Now on to the big news.....WE COMPLETELY FUNDED ONE TICKET (ROUND TRIP) TO CHINA. We couldn't have done it without the complete love and support of God and our wonderful family and friends.
