$4,000!! AMAZING!!!!

So, the past 2 weeks have been crazy busy trying to get ready for the silent auction/cocktail party we had here in our backyard on Saturday.  Now that the house has (almost) returned to normal and I'm basically recovered - I can post our amazing, fabulous, astounding news:
We raised just over $4,000!!! 

Crazy! Wonderful! Awesome! (can my BA in English come up with any more adjectives???)

I thanked them on Saturday night, but I"m going to do it again here for all the blogging world to see.
Mom - she's Just Grand! and that's pretty much it.
Chanda (and her hubby Joe) - the food was Amazing, Incredible, Delicious, Yum-O, etc etc etc.  You're better than any caterer (and I'm not just saying that because a caterer would have sent me a bill :-) Your unending support was what made this event happen.
Jamie - the best neighbor a girl could have!  ( I think I've said that before, but I'm going to say it again) she just keeps showin' up! and we are so grateful for her, and her "never stop" energy.
Matt & Rita in Ohio "steel"ed our hearts away! (Corny, I know, but I had to do it).  Rita is the prez of her family's Steel fabrication company and last wednesday a pallet showed up at our door with 5 AMAZING, hand crafted, steel pieces for the auction.  We knew something was arriving, but they purposefully didn't tell us what.  I about cried when I unwrapped the pallet.  (photos are coming as soon as I find the cord for my camera :-(  Those 5 pieces alone brought us $720!!  Williams family - YOU ROCK!!!  and the best part is that the fire pit only went across the street (to Jamie's) so I can visit it any time I want.

Thanks again to all of you who came, ate, drank, and supported us on Saturday - it was a great evening!!
Look at that tree grow!!!

Two very happy future adoptive parents!
