We owe **A LOT** of gratitude to all our friends and neighbors who donated items for our yard sale this weekend. The love and generosity that has been showered upon us has been amazing!!!!! Last time I had to pack everything in the car and go to a friends house in another neighborhood (HOA restrictions). But this time, the HOA allowed a one day community wide yard sale in MY neighborhood. In the first two hours the guard let in over 200 vehicles!!!!!! So the good news is I didn't have to lug everything somewhere else. Bad news (if you can even call it that) is we were in competition with 100 neighbors. We did just as well as our first yard sale !! (yippee) and everyone seemed to make around the same amount (hmm wonder how that works!?!) So we have a chunk of change tucked away for our visa fees or whatever comes up next. I have to tell you though, I was as, if not more, exhausted for this yard sale as the last!! I slept for 12 hours last night!! LOL. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who chipped in (from all of us).
Today is day 31 of our official wait (since our Log In Date). The average wait I have seen recently is around 70 odd days, though nothing is written in stone. I hope we are about half way through our wait!!
It would be ~nice~ to get a response before Christmas. Here's hoping!!!!!
