We unloaded our last big items this week. Well, almost (see note at end of post). We sold our washer/dryer at a yard sale a few weeks ago and the gentleman was kind enough to let us keep them until this week. A few days before he was to pick them up, the washing machine tragically broke! Talk about awkward! We sold them for $150, and it was going to cost $127 to fix. So... Eric called and explained the situation. We gave him his money back (of course) and then had a moment of despair thinking about what we would do with a broken washing machine, (all the while doing our laundry at the gracious neighbor's house!). Eric decided to post the set on Craigslist, for $125 - honest about the brokenness - and within ONE HOUR we had 3 serious buyers! A huge blessing!
We also said goodbye to our last remaining piece of furniture. Apparently Justice was more attached than the rest of us. She took off down the driveway waving and saying "bye-bye!"
Work continues to go well, and keeps us just-a-tad-bit grounded. Eric and Justice are taking field trips around town almost daily. She is loving the "pups" (puppets) at their weekly storytime at the library! They are definitely bonding as they visit the zoo, playgrounds, parks, indoor climbing spaces, and even shopping. This past week they went to the closest splash-pad and played in the water. Our girl loves her daddy!
NOTE: We still have our mattress and our cat to part with. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in these 2 things, PLEASE let us know! Our cat is creating quite a bit of anxiety. We don't want her to go to a shelter, but we're down to just a few days.
We have also added a fundraising tracker to our SUPPORT THE MISSION page. Check it out and track our progress!
