What a great weekend! On Saturday, Matt and I attended Ohio Valley Voices' annual gala. It's always fun to dress up and go to a fancy party, without kids. In fact, we were without kids for most of the weekend, thanks to Cera. I love my kids, but I thoroughly enjoyed a weekend with just my husband.
Here we are ready to go:
Pictures taken with my phone, so not the best quality...
We even won one of the raffle prizes: Chinese pearls!
It was a great evening with dinner, cocktails and dancing. There were a few speeches including one by the mother of a current student and one by a 13 year old boy who graduated from the school several years ago. I had to wipe away a few tears during both speeches, because their stories are our stories. The mom talked about how the school has changed their family's life (just like it has ours) and the boy talked about what it is like to be deaf and have a cochlear implant. His words could have been Jazzie's. I think the entire room was inspired by this very confident and funny young man. I have said it many times and I will say it again: Ohio Valley Voices is AMAZING.
On Sunday we celebrated Matt's grandmother's 97th birthday. What a spunky woman she still is!
Wow! You & Matt looked stunning!
Happy Birthday to Matt's grandmother!
