Wine to Water Party

Went well. Exceeded expectations. It's 8:45 and I'm seriously going to bed in 10 minutes. I'll write more tomorrow but I just want to tell you that the party went well. How well?

$11,000

I'm just not even sure how to believe that.

Oh, and Scott Harrison (President and Founder of charity: water) tweeted that the party was on par with the parties in New York. We think he's enjoying the water weekend as much as we are.

But I was/am so happy with the event. Didn't realize I had been holding my breath for the last few weeks, and not sleeping and drinking 4 times the amount of coffee I normally do.

But I was and I did and now my breath is light and full and I'm going to sleep for 12 straight hours tonight.

Knowing that the community and the people in it who I love so very much rallied around something some of them were just hearing about.

Amazing.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped, bid or came.

I, of course, didn't have my camera. My father-in-law was our official photographer and I have yet to pick up the CD of pictures yet but you can find some here. But you'll have to wait on explanations for tomorrow.

For now, good night and thank you, from the very bottom of my most humbled heart.
