Colleen's Dream Weekend

This past weekend was fabulous as it always is!  Mom, Dad and Nick flew into Phoenix on Wednesday.  Well, Nick didn't really get here until almost midnight, but he got here.  Thursday mom and I got pedi's and mani's.  Nick and I attended the VIP party which was super fun and enjoyable.  It was so fun to see my friend Brittany from camp. 

Tony and Erin flew in late Thursday night.  Friday morning we were up bright and early for the golf tournament.  It was cold and windy, but when the sun came out behind the clouds it wasn't as cold.  However, by 1pm I'd had it with the cold and we left.  I always love that I get to check in all of the golfers and to thank them for coming, because I have so much gratitude for their support. It was so fun to see my friends from camp! 

Nick and I went to the Apple store where I bought a new phone.  Friday night we had dinner at Aunt Leslie's and we played a fun question and answer game.

Saturday we went to breakfast, I took a nap and then we all got ready for the Gala.  It was a beautiful evening.  My friend Brittany was the keynote speaker and did a fabulous job.  The live auction/after live auction alone raised nearly $300,000 for OVC research; specifically for a study at Tgen, which I hope to be able to qualify for.  I'm always amazed at the generosity of individuals and their support for a disease I live with every day.  Dr. D my gyn/onc was there and we had a lovely chat with her.  Our friends the Sondrups also joined us which was super fun.

 This is Dr. D.  She is fabulous!

Today Tony and Erin left after church.  We had lunch with Laura and Jessie's family and then Deb and her kids came for dinner.  It was a fabulous weekend, which I always look forward too.
