Garage Sale Fundraiser

I haven't posted for awhile so thought I would update everyone on how things are going!!

Paperwork Update ~
We received our final homestudy on February 28th.  Our fingerprinting appointment with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is March 31st in Casper.  This is the final step of our paperwork that is needed for our dossier, which will be sent over to Uganda hopefully by end of April.  Then, we just will have to wait for them to tell us we can come meet Nora.  It could be as early as June, but realistically it will probably be August.  Chuck and I will make the first trip together and be there for 1-2 weeks.  Then, I will go back about a month later to bring Nora home. 

Garage Sale Update ~
All I have to say is -- WOW!!  We have had over 30 families donate items to our fundraiser.  There is so much stuff - it is just unbelievable.  Wesleyan Church has been amazing - we are so grateful for how welcoming they have been to us.  The best part is that when we are done with our fundraiser - everything donated that does not sell will go to another local family who is also adopting and they will have a garage sale this summer.
