Just filling you all in with what is going on right now! Well...this past weekend a very dear friend of ours Sharen Cunningham hosted and put on a yard sale with the proceeds going toward our adoption. That was so incredibly sweet of her and we can NOT thank her enough. So many of you out there donated items to sell and it wouldn't have been possible without all of you..so thank you. Then of course the people who came out and BOUGHT stuff (especially those who worked the yard sale haha)..thank you thank you. We had kind of set a goal in our heads for the yard sale. We thought it would be really awesome if we reached $1,000. And we thought we had set a pretty good goal...because really....$1,000 for a yard sale is A LOT and we knew it could be hard to reach. Okay...well let me just tell you what our God did this past weekend. He blessed that yard sale 3 times over than what we ever imagined. Our total proceeds from the yard sale turned out to be $3,900.!!!!! (we round it up to $4,000 because it's close enough for me! ha) I mean SERIOUSLY....FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS for a YARD SALE????? Who knew that was even possible? God has proven time and time again to me how little my faith is. I thought I had some pretty good faith for setting a goal of $1,000. God you are worthy to be praised and you never cease to amaze me. Thank you for choosing to bless this adoption thus far. I pray that you are getting all the glory and that everyone is seeing that you are real and totally involved.
Okay, so we have raised right at $10,000 for this adoption! Not gunna lie...that hasn't even began to sink in yet. In only a few short months we have raised $10,000!! (sorry I have to keep repeating it until it feels real) That is UNBELIEVABLE and I am completely blown away. We only have about 3 to 5 thousand more to go. How amazing! Which brings me to my next paragraph :)
We are doing another fundraiser so bear with us!! ha ha. Richard and I are selling T-shirts to help us get a little closer to our final money goal. I will put a picture below to show you what they look like. They are $18.00 each. We have a standard t shirt and then we have a cute fitted style but I will warn you that the fitted shirts run pretty small. Just to give you how the sizes are in the standard t shirt. I (amber) am wearing the Extra Large and it fits me perfectly. Richard is wearing the Large and it fits him perfectly. If ANYBODY would like a t-shirt you can comment on here...on face book...in person...haha...just let me know some how. (the picture below is an example of the fitted style)
I love you all. All the followers, friends, family, supporters. Couldn't do this without a single one of you helping to make this happen. We could never repay you for all that you have done. I pray God will bless you ten times over that what you have blessed us.
Love you all
The Nuzums :)
