We are on our way

We had our first fundraiser on Wednesday night! Boy was that wild. Everyone was very positive and happy to help. We had a list of people to say, "thank you" to, but it mysteriously got lost. So THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU to everyone who donated!
If you came that night, then you witnessed a miracle. If you didn't, I'll tell you about it.
Wednesday came. Katie and I were supposed to go to "The Corner" early to get everything organized. We were leaving our house when we got a phone call saying that the karaoke machine that we were supposed to be using broke. (Here comes the anxiety.) I quickly remember a childhood memory of the Bradford's having a karaoke machine that I was so jealous of. We ran to the Bradford's and they were so happy to let us use it! The machine didn't have a screen for the words to be displayed on, but we took it anyways. We arrive at Hogi Yogi and the boys at Yoasis started helping us set up. During this time, I was freaking out in the back of the building and trying to finish a sign that we had just remembered to make. All of a sudden, I got this huge feeling to go see what was going on up front. When I got up there, everyone was sitting around the karaoke machine looking quite scared. The karaoke machine was not going to work. So I went back to finish my sign. I went back up front 5 minutes later and everyone looked happy as a clam!
Here is what I know happened.
A man was on a date. He was sitting a couple tables away and overheard them talking about how it was not going to work.
I guess he turned to Katie and friends and said something like, "Hello, I am an angel sent from heaven."
Just kidding! It was probably more like, "Hello, my name is Mike Streeter. It just so happens that i own a karaoke buisness."
HOLY CRAP!
That was the fastest miracle that I have ever seen!
Mike offered to help us on 1 condition- that we attend his baptism on Sunday. (I'm not sure if he was serious or not, but I'll be there!)
He started making some phone calls to get like an amp or something like that.
During this time, Paul, the awesome manager at Hogi Yogi, was also making phone calls to the sound guy in charge there.
Then Mike and his date left.
Everyone started showing up.
The ukulele concert started and ended.
Mike came back with all his stuff.
Boys at Yoasis and Mike set up karaoke stuff. They even got the words to come on the tv!!
We hear lots of Hannah Montana and raise big bucks.
Over all, I would say it was a bug success!!

Thank you very much to everyone who is supporting us! I'm very sorry that I can't name all of you right now, but here are some people that we owe huge thank you's to:

Mike Streeter (Duh!)
The people at Hogi Yogi (For letting us have it there)
The Bradfords (For letting us borrow your karaoke machine)
Marcia and Dennis Wright (For letting us borrow your cd's)
Kallie Lundquist ( For also letting us borrow your cd's)
Barbara Wright (For Bringing the ukuleles)
Shelly Stubbs, Miki Allen and Mauri Farr (For showing up to play the ukuleles)

I know there are so many more, and I promise if I think of them, I'll write them down.
Also, I know this doesn't have to do with anything but I know it would make Bunnie happy to hear. Many of us have a good friend named Cameron Kidman. He got baptized this morning at age 19.
Congradulations to Mike and Cameron on their baptisms!!!

Thanks again to everyone!!
