Wow!

On Friday, Lucas and I were awed by the generosity of our friends and family. Our party was awesome, fun, amazing, and rockin'! I couldn't believe the turn out- we had at least 100 pals attend. Lucas and I are so lucky to have such talented, artistic friends. I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures- I was so overwhelmed... almost like being at our wedding with so many people to talk to! Here are some of the highlights:

• Our favorite local dive bar Lost Lake hosted us; fireplace, dark lighting, with whiskey and "The Champagne of Beers" flowing.
• We had a fantastic silent art auction with donations by Amanda Gordon Dunn, Doug Spencer, Sandi Calistro, Andy Bell, Bryony Lovelette, James Clarke, Britt Madden, and Becky Steele.
• Tunes by The Royal and Hooper.
• DJs to rock us between sets: Thanks Hayley, Tyler and Rhea!
• Friends came from near and far! Thanks to Trina, Karli, Flea, Joe and Jill for making the drive from the Fort Collins/Greeley/Loveland area. 
• My whole immediate family was there! (even Justin who is usually MIA...) and my aunt and uncle.
• Coworkers also came to show support.
• Lucas and I brought baby pics to show off. Boy-o-boy are those babies cute!
• There was a $5 suggested donation at the door, and a donation jar (more like a towering vase- thanks sis Sari!)
• We also had a baby blanket drive that we will take to the orphanage when we go on our first trip. We scored at least 10 blankets!
• We are still adding up the donations... but as of now we have made over $3000 which will help us pay for our travel and some of the babies' orphanage rent!

We feel SO loved. Thank you to the many who helped think this up, planned it, worked it, rocked it, payed to get in, donated, danced, and loved us so much!
