Gymboree Love

The wonderful staff at the Gymboree in Boulder, made a beautiful gift basket and raffled it off to their customers. They were able to raise $101 for my trip! Amazing! What wonderful support from great friends!

And the winner is...

Jeff and Diane Emhoff!!!!

As I was writing all the MANY slips of paper last night, I felt so thankful for each and everyone of you that has donated to my trip. Some of you had me writing your name for quite a while ;) I thought it was only fair that I have Tristan pick the paper since he can not read... no cheating here. As I was writing each of your names, I really did want all of you to win these beautiful bags. As I could only draw one name, I pray that something beautiful comes your way to all those who's names were not drawn.

Now a little bit about the winning couple. Jeff and Diane are two of the most wonderful people who have ever come into my life! I know that sounds dramatic, but it's just plain true. I first knew them through their kids who I went to high school with. Campaigners every Friday morning in their living room. Through college, Jeff lead a wonderful Bible study that my friends and I attended, but it was also during these college years that my then boyfriend Neil and I began a friendship with Jeff and Diane. Countless hours have been spent together eating good food, drinking good wine, and having wonderful conversations only true friends can have. A perfect couple to win this prize. Beautiful bags and accessories for her and some great coffee for a man who knows how to enjoy a good cup of joe.

Thank you all for your support!
