The Impossible Weekend

Last week, at the final count, we had 117 marbles.

After the last week of donations,
 and this weekend's yard sale and craft sale, 
we now have 171 marbles in our marble jar.


At $10 a marble, we've raised $1,710.
(Which is awesome!)
(THANK YOU!)
That's just about $300 shy of the goal we had set to raise this month.
So that's not bad. 
We might can raise that within the next week.



We decided to take next weekend off on the yard sale, too.
We need some time to gather new donated items, sort them, regroup and rest.
We also need a weekend to try and do some of the required home study and dossier elements.

Thank you, to everyone who has donated.
We know there is no way we can fund raise the entire amount needed to complete this adoption.
We're already needing to cut "normal" things from our daily lives
to be able to pay for Adoption things as we complete them.
Life doesn't stop for an adoption. 
It doesn't pull over and allowed bills to not be paid 
or families not to need to eat 
or kids not to need gifts on holidays 
or families not to need a vacation.
Those daily life needs still must be met.
We just have to be creative.
We meet those needs just like we were doing before the adoption.
Your donations are helping the process move 
more quickly
than we could ever do it alone.
And since we only have 6 months, now,
More Quickly
Is 
NECESSARY.

=)

And now, I'm going to bed.
I am exhausted.
