The yard sale like no other....


There are really no words to describe the yardsale we had april 16. huge, freezing, amazing, exhausting, humbling, crazy come to mind when i think of the weeks before and the actual day. Here are a couple of pictures that can start to put a picture of what i mean....


Here are some of the amazing women who helped me get ready. This is our "thursday night group" who usually go to panera, but on this thursday, they came to my house and worked for hours to help us pull this thing off. and several of these angels were at my house day after day slaving with me in the pod to get ready. oh how grateful i am for my friends!




This is the amount of people here as the sun was rising.....



are you starting to get the picture???....tons of stuff and tons of people!!!!



Some of our very brave friends setting up at 2am...


more helpers doing their part...




We had an awesome bake sale that the kids did all day! They had coffee, popcorn, all kinds of baked goods, water, and lemonade. here are some of our awesome bake-salers!


Here we are, the Whitfields and Thompsons, being blessed by others so we can bring our boys home!!
Despite the terrible weather, God did amazing things this day. At the end of the day, there was very little left that did not sell. What did not sell was donated to 2 very good causes. When all was said and done, we raised a total of $10,000 on this one day! We are so grateful for all of you who helped or contributed to bring home jude and will hudson!
