April 28th- NJ Yard Sale!

Ok, New Jersey, here we come! My original plan was to have our Yard Sale fundraiser (for NJ) sometime in June. BUT the street that my parents live on is having a "Block Yard Sale" on APRIL 28th, so obviously it makes more sense to have the sale then! This also means less time to collect stuff from everyone!! If you live in PA and said that you have things to donate, I want to set up dates soon that I can get that from you. :) I will be taking anything that I can over to NJ first and then whatever is too big or doesn't sell in NJ we will try to sell again in PA (on May 19th). Feel free to email me if you want to get rid of it now. Otherwise, I will be sending out an email soon to anyone that told me they have stuff. NJ FRIENDS: if you have junk amazing items that you no longer need ;) LET ME KNOW! The less I have to transport from PA, the better. :) Please let me know through email or facebook if you have stuff. It doesn't have to be big....it could be clothes, baby clothes or baby items, toys, purses, decorations for your house that you don't use, throw pillows, comforter sets....all that stuff is great. :) I went through my house (for the 3rd time) and found more stuff...crazy how much I have collected along the way and just don't need. (Since I totally forgot it was there). If you don't have stuff to get rid of, I would still love to see you on April 28th!!! :) It will be fun!!

    Along with the Yard Sale, there will be delicious goodies at our BAKE SALE!!! When I started thinking about this yard sale, I told Dan that I pictured lots of items for sale, people having a good time, a bake sale going on, and BALLOONS....at that Dan did what he usually does...looks at me like I'm crazy and tells me that's great but to reel it in. :) As I thought about it more, I realized that I am not a great baker and realistically I wouldn't have time to be baking before the yard sale anyway. About a week or so after Dan and I had our little conversation, my mom's good friend Janice called me on my cell phone. She asked me if I would consider having a bake sale along side the yard sale AND that if I wanted this SHE would do all of the baking!!! I love how God cares about the little things that we care about!

All that to say....I am looking forward to April 28th in NJ and May 19th in PA. I think that we are going to have a lot of fun, raise some money together for our adoption, and get to share with others about God's love for ALL and how that love spills out of us so that we can therefore love others...even those that we do not know. So let me know if you want to help! :)
