So S. and I did well on our yard sale yesterday (thank you, mom squared, for your donations as they helped!) and met a great and animated lady that made the morning so fun.
Her name is Jackie. She was so happy about us adopting, just bought as much as $9 could buy her. And through her shopping experience we got to know one another - she's a grandmother and just loves it. She also just lost about 150+ lbs and made me feel her hip bone! SHE HAS ONE! She was so proud of her accomplishment and so was I!
S. was put to job going through her massive coin purse to find the rest of her payment to us. It was hilarious. She even wanted to buy him at one point to do her windows!
As Jackie was leaving she yells out to us, "well I'm glad I could help! Be sure to name her Jackie for me." S. quips back, "we'll put it on the list and thank you!"
Thank you, Jackie, for bringing some light into our lives - even if it was for only a second.

Fundraising for Baby G!
S. and I are now in fund-raising mode to help with Baby G's arrival!
Aside from the yard sale to be hosted this weekend and our copious amounts of recyclables to be returned for cash, I reached out to 2 people (one being my sister from another set of parents) to help raise some funds through their direct-sales businesses.
These online shows will go from July 1st to July 22nd so you have plenty of time to shop, shop, shop. And PLEASE pass this post on to your friends (barring they aren't mutual friends of ours as there are still a lot of people who do not know about our awesome plans!).
AVON:
Simply visit http://mary-bethlawson.avonrepresentative.com/ to get your Avon shopping on.
Mary Beth will be donating 100% of the proceeds to help with the adoption. Simply use the code BabyG at checkout and viola!
If you have any questions, you can contact me at thrivingforbaby[at]gmail.com or Mary Beth directly at amazingavon[at]cox.net.
COOKIE LEE:
My old 'boss', Bonnie, (as I used to be a rep) is amazing and is donating all of her profits to our cause (and I couldn't be more humbled by her gracious heart).
Check out the catalog at her website: www.cookielee.biz/bonnieorona
Simply place your order with me by emailing thrivingforbaby[at]gmail.com by July 22nd and everything will be shipped to you.
PAYPAL
Quite honestly, this means so much more to us than an item from a registry. And we thank you from the bottom of our humbled and loving hearts.
Thank you,
Mr. & Mrs. G.
P.S. - If you're in our area and have junk that you need to get rid of and would like to donate it to our yard sale, we'd be totally honored to take it in by Friday. :D
