As many of you know, and some may not, IVF is VERY EXPENSIVE. So, Kelli and I were talking last night and decided that a wonderful way to raise money is thru a GARAGE SALE!! Yes, I said it - a GARAGE SALE! So, over the next couple of weeks, we will be ransacking our closets, garage, shed, tool box, attic, and where ever else we may have hidden treasures. For those who love us...feel free to contribute your worthless pieces of junk, as you never know, one man's junk is another man's treasure. HA! Anyways, the last time we tried this it was a total FIASCO!! We were in the process of moving from College Station up to Dallas, and thought it would be a good time to rid our lives of some clutter. In the process, we brought down a shelf that was hanging in the garage with a clothesline, lost our money bag for about 30 mins, got woken up by folks at 6am wanting to get this garage sale moving, sold an oven for $5, sold a dishwasher for $10, and Kelli sold her Eddie Bauer Backpack for $1...for those who don't know, Kel thought that bag was worth well over that amount, and it took us a while to get thru to her the "essence" of a garage sale. She thought it was more for making profits, when it's really more about getting rid of things. :) So, again, take a look thru some of your things and when you can fill a standard size box, feel free to bring it on over and contribute it to The Dowdney Baby Foundation's garage sale!! We'll be looking for ya!

i remember the hole in the wall from that shelf falling.....i also remember heather and i laughing crazy at kelli's price tags. we tried to get them all removed before the customers arrived and saw them..........i guess i'll go check my stuff now, and see what you may want for the foundation.
YA'LL ARE CRAZY...i don't where that comes from either.
yo mama
OH NO! Sorry, but I do have to admit I'm kinda glad we don't live anywhere near right now--just for this one occasion, of course :) Good luck--looking forward to hearing the crazy stories that I'm sure will come along with it :)
Wait a minute....your mom and dad have a blog?! Tell those two crazy kids that they need to get to bloggin'! Good luck with your garage sale. Love you both.
Yea to the Dowdney's for having a blog!! I am sure Kyle will be relieved for me to have this to read as I ask him all the time if he has heard from either of you and how everything is going... Thanks for inviting us along on the journey!
David, this is brilliant. You get to purge AND make some dough. I would love to contribute, I've been meaning to do some spring cleaning for about four seasons now.
