May 2014

This month we got tons of donations from people all over town. In return we had so little space to store everything, but between all of our houses, we figured it out. One day, we went to 3 different locations and got a truck load of stuff. Most of our time was spent organizing the stuff, unloading, and loading the truck. My sister's friend even donated stuff, it wasn't just strangers. Liz's neighbor let us know that his church was having a yard sale. Abby and I went to the sale after they were done and picked out enough stuff to fill a trailer, a truck, and both of our cars from their leftover donations. We've realized that its kind of difficult deciphering between items that will and won't sell, so we just picked things that we THINK will sell. We'll see. We got mostly furniture from the yard sale, but also collected box-fulls of books, clothes, and dishes that seemed nice enough to sell. It was a busy month, but we feel like we have plenty of donations for a pretty decent sale and its comforting to know that we are progressing and approaching the sale date, June 20th-21st.
