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! |
