Garage Sale Success!

I would like to say, the words Thank You cannot even express the graditude that we feel. It is an unexpressable thanks.

I would definatly say this sale was a success. Thank you to all of those that donated their items, money and/or time! I was overwhelmed with the love our family was shown. The neighbors around Brown and Gilbert were so great! Most had no idea what was going on until they got there, but when they heard they went above and beyond anything I would have expected!
Glory to God. People gave us sale items, amazing ones, brand new, super cool things. Antiques, large items, things worth alot of money. I cannot thank you enough.
I was blown away by random people coming by, not finding anything to buy but would hand me a contribution. There was a really nice bouncy horse that was paid for and as the lady was taking the other stuff to her car, I was telling haley to get off because we sold it. Haley said but I love this horse and the lady came back to get the horse and said Its ok, you can have it. Merry Christmas! I am pretty sure I said are you kidding me? She said no she loves it. I fought back tears and said thank you. So thank you again, You made haleys day! There was a family down the street that was getting ready to have their own sale, but instead they brought all there stuff down to us. It was great.
thank you to all the people that helped to show us so much love and a great example to my children of a community coming together.
I would love to Thank everyone personally but it would go on for pages. There were so many that helped us out, and We thank all of you.
Haleys cookies, coffee and coco stand was HUGE! she had so much fun doing it. we didnt charge for them but she had her own donation/tip jar. She didnt quite understand why people were not all paying a set amout, so there was some frustration. but she loved it. She was up everyday, except sunday, at 5am and at the sale. because she HAD to be there for people who wanted cookies!


Garage sales are fun, but we were all beat by the end. Sunday evening when we got home nick and I fell asleep before we even got out of the truck! So we sat 20 min napping in the driveway. Haley has been hyper yet exhausted. like when you get so tired you start to be silly, that has been haley for the past week. We are getting back in rhythum now.

Surgery on Monday!! Pray! thank you!!!
