Success!!!

We had such a good turn out at the yard sale and made a good portion of money. We are off to a good start, we will get a baby here yet. We were so grateful that, despite the weather, we had so many people come out and support us. We are thankful to everyone who helped in anyway. We couldn't have done it without the support of family, friends, and neighbors. We had so many people that were extremely generous and we thank our Heavenly Father for blessing us with such wonderful people in our lives. We sold most of our big items, but still have some nice things left, so stay tuned because we will probably be having another yard sale in the coming months. Our next fundraiser will be May 4 at Zubs Pizza and Subs. Come out that day and buy some food and a portion of all proceeds brought in that day will be given to our adoption fund. We want to thank Alan and Rena Peacock and all the employees who are volunteering their time to allow this fundraiser to happen. Your generosity is incredible and we are indebted to all of you. We love you and cannot thank you enough!

Yard/Bake Sale Preparations and thank yous.

I have officially gone through and priced everything for the yard sale that is coming in just 2 days. All this planning and preparing and the big day is almost here! I am excited to see how everything turns out. I have so many items and so many people have offered to make goodies. I feel like it is going to be a great event. I feel so blessed to know so many kind and caring people. It is quite humbling to realize how giving people are. I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for their service. Especially my sisters and mom who came and helped me go through all the yard sale items, it was a big job and I couldn't have done it by myself.  I also had a lot of fun working with them while we sorted and priced.  I want to thank everybody who let us borrow their vehicles and time to get the items here. That was no small sacrifice either and Joe and I are extremely grateful.
Tomorrow will be spent doing the final preparations and then all I can do is cross my fingers and hope for the best. If you do come on Saturday, make sure to grab me or Joe and tell us hi. We would love to talk to everyone we know, and if we don't know you, just come and say hi anyway and introduce yourselves- we'd love to get to know and thank you.
May the weather hold and the crowds appear. Thanks again to everyone who has helped in anyway. I've heard that it takes a village to raise a child, but I also think that sometimes it takes a village to get a child here.
Love you all,
Shanna

The Countdown begins....less than 2 weeks now

It's almost here! Now we just need to pray for good weather and a good turn out. If for some reason, you haven't got the information-I'm posting it again. Saturday, April 20 8 am-3 pm at 341 N Main Street Payson. I look forward to seeing you there! 

Running out of room...in a good way

This is just a lovely bit of artwork, so majestic. I think I'll call a curator for this one. :)
I feel like we have a bit of storage wars going on here...we have run out of room in the garage-mahal and so our house has now become a storage unit as well. I don't even mind the clutter though. Now I just have to kick my organizational skills in gear and start going through all of it.
