We had the opportunity to piggy back into my parent's neighborhood garage sale this weekend. This sale is done once a year and always gets a good turn out. So, much like last year, we asked friends if they had any items they would be willing to donate and we got to work sorting and preparing.
We had about 10 families donate items and only spent about a week gathering and sorting. Compared to last year it was a walk in the park. And since my parents were participating we were able to set up the night before instead of having to get up at 3 am to move everything like last year.
The girls and Drew got a kick out of sleeping beneath the stars with us to make sure nothing disappeared in the night.
And we lucked out this year with beautiful weather. Nothing like the 109 degrees we endured last year.
All together this sale generated another $750 for China. Not bad for a half-day sale. We are inching closer to the $1900 goal for our home study. Once it is complete we'll be able to submit the USCIS docs (another $1700) and prepare to receive a referral. This will be a very exciting summer.
