Peace Health Gala

It has been a while since I have been able to post anything. I have so many things to share and many pictures to show you all but my time has been very limited. Because I have a quick second before I start my next project at home I wanted to post a few pictures of our latest adventure.

Our friends Lexy and Peter invited us to go to the Peace Health Gala a week ago. This was a fundraiser and awards banquet for the hospital in Bellingham. They are going to be building a new Cancer Center. Whidbey Island Bank was a major sponsor which is where Peter works so we were fortunate enough to get to go and sit at their table. Will's mom is on the Foundation Board for the hospital so she was there too. She said she didn't invite us because we were not big enough spenders. At least she was honest. :)

Anyway this event was like getting ready for prom. It was black tie optional and Lexy and I decided that we would have our boys wear suits. Well, easy for Lex as Peter already has a few suits but Will on the other hand does not. I am lucky he owns a few ties. Anyway, Will and I went shopping and for those of you who know us and Will's opposition to looking cute, meaning clothes that are not shorts and shirts, it can be a challenge. I am pleased to say we were successful in finding him everything from shoes to shirt, suit coat and matching pants and it did not result in any wars. I will admit we had a fun time and I think he did too. He was a good sport and kept an open mind about it. All put together Will looked quite handsome so we had to have Chris take some pictures of us. It was a beautiful day too so we lucked out. The event was in a big white tent in the area of where the new Cancer Center will be. I decide it was like a scene out of a movie. It was probably the fanciest event I have been to in Bellingham. We had a great time! Enjoy the pics....

Don't tell Lexy I put this out here she will kill me but she looks amazing!!! :)

As you can see we had a great time and it was fun getting all dressed up. I love these types of events but don't get to go to them very often. Cheers and until next time which I hope is sooner than later!!
