Before I formed you in the womb I knew you

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Yard Sale


       So, what are you doing Saturday? Oh, you’re busy? Well, that’s understandable, I suppose. I mean, we were just hoping you’d help us raise a little more of the money that will be used to bring home our unborn child, but I suppose your plans must be important. Oh, you’re not busy anymore? That’s great!

     Here’s the deal: We’re having a yard sale at our house Saturday morning as a fundraiser for our adoption. I know, we’ve already had one yard sale, but we’ve got a lot more stuff! We’ve had more donations and have a ton of different items that we need to get rid of. Whatever it is you need, there’s a decent chance that we have it somewhere. We’ve turned part of Ashley’s mom’s house into our yard sale warehouse, then stored the items that wouldn’t fit there into an extra bedroom in our house. The point that I’m trying to make it this; Ashley wants her house back! We have to get rid of all of these boxes, and you can help us with that!

    Maybe we won’t have anything you’re interested in, and that’s fine. And maybe you really do have plans that won’t allow you to join us Saturday morning (the guilt trip at the beginning was totally a joke, by the way), but if you’re able to stop by we’d love to see you. If you want to join us Saturday morning, we’re at 981 S. Orchard Rd. in Salem. We’re starting at 7AM and going until we either run out of things to sell (which would be awesome), or we get tired and want to go inside (which is far more likely). The sale is also weather dependent. If it rains, we’ll have to postpone, so let’s all pray for a sunny day. We’ll also have a listing in the Salem paper on Thursday that will have some of the items in there. If you tell us you heard about the yard sale on the blog, you’ll get a discount of…well, nothing. It is a fundraiser after all. But we’d still appreciate hearing that you’re reading.

    That’s all for this week. Hopefully we’ll have some updates to give you next week on the progress of our adoption. We hope to see you all on Saturday morning!
