May 6, 2013: This date has been on our minds for quite awhile.  Tonight we partnered with 28 other friends to host ‘Light up the Night’, an awareness/fundraising event for NightLight International. They work to stop sex slavery and sex trafficking in Bangkok + the USA. We had a great turnout and raised $4,700, the highest one-day total in the organization’s history! It was great to see so many different skills, talents, and passions come together for this event.

While we were getting ready for the event most of the afternoon, the girls got to be with Grandma… and Jen and I snuck out at lunch for a quick date to regroup and get ready to hop back in.  We have something on our calendar for 28 of 31 days in May. Not a single thing on it we’d want to take off, but we really appreciated the time alone over some good food. Thanks Mom! :)
