So Eric and I finally had our Garage Sale that we have been waiting to have since before we were married. And we had enough stuff in this Garage sale to seem like we have been married for 10 + years. I have come to the conclusion that not only is Eric attached to many things, but he has kept every article of clothing and comforter he has ever had.

There were plenty of great stories that came out of this weekend. One being the insanely heavy ping pong table. Eric bought it for his snowy village set years ago and it has stowed itself in the basement fo quite some time. The time came for it to be sold at the Garage sale but first it had to be brought up from the basement. Now anyone who has ever carried pressed board you know how heavy that can be. Getting that thing out of the basement, was the angriest I have ever seen Eric in all the time I have known him. However, the ping pong table was defeated and we mustered up every ounce of strength to get it out into the garage.

We didn't make as much money as we thought with all the treasures we were selling. But, I feel we did make a difference in many families lives. No Joke my mom called it the Jesus Rummage Sale. After 1:00pm the crowd died down and we started packing up the items for the Charity coming next Friday. One family came back to pick up the couch and washing machine and they left with a vaccuum, end tables, a toy train, pictures, two TVs and whatever else they could pack in the trailer. Plus, the neighbor down the street knew of a foster care family that needed house hold items and they stopped by later on to take the curio cabinet, dryer, Entertainment center, clothes, light fixtures and toys.

All in all the stuff is all out of the house and with people who we felt needed it and we were able to have some fun memories. However, if anyone ever needs help with one we are the ones to call.

Thanks to my parents we were able to get everything into the garage by 8:30 pm on Friday and have time to treat ourselves to a little Coldstone.
