One persons junk is another persons....

..ADOPTION GARAGE SALE!!!

Yeah, kind of cheesy I suppose, but we have been reading up on this fun stuff for quite some time. Raising money for adoption is, or seems to be, fundamental because, well, it is REALLY costly, but completely worth it. So...

Sarah and I had an idea to invite friends and family of ours (probably most of our readership - yeah YOU) to get rid of their household stuff by doing a combined multi-family sale. We thought it would be a good way to get people together and also get rid of stuff they have been meaning to - while also making some money. We also thought to include some fun games and prizes along with a lemonade stand and bake sale. Needless to say it went over really, really well and we have to thank everyone involved for their tremendous support and care. When we presented the total at the end of the day it was hard not to get choked up, but I managed pretty well. In total we raised just under 1500 dollars and well on our way to making our first payment.

We are planning some more interesting fund raisers, so stay close. See more pictures of the event below. Sorry if the pictures are small..
