Well on our way!

Last night was so amazing!! I still cannot believe the turnout.  We were blessed to be surrounded by our family, friends, and coworkers for a really fun time.  The night started with dinner and drinks and a jam-packed silent auction.  People were eating and bidding and talking.  There were kids running around the putting green outside.  After the bidding wrapped up, we thanked everyone and announced the winners.  People got some great deals on spas, salons, tutoring, books, lottery tickets, and much much more.  Then we danced and just enjoyed the evening. 
My coworkers did a phenomenal job on the organization of the event.  The food was yummy, the desserts were out of this world, and the entertainment was great.  Overall, it was a great event.  And, I'm sure everyone is wondering, how successful was it?? Well, we raised...

$4425

Yep, A-MA-ZING!
Our next step in the process is the home study visits.  We are just waiting on our social worker to call and set these up.  Bethany has all of our application stuff.  So we wait.  Hopefully we will hear something soon and we can jump this hurdle too!
So, for now, I just want to wrap up by thanking as many people as I can remember who donated to the auction last night and made it so successful!
Thank you...

Thank you everyone!!
