Last Friday night Scott and I went to a charity auction put on by the ICU at Grant Medical Center. Each year the ICU picks a family that has experienced trauma and spent time in the ICU. The money raised at the auction by selling off the staff is given to the family before Christmas. I am so happy that we had a chance to go. Scott was being auctioned off and he was hoping to go for more than $25. Before the auction started there where hors devourers and drinks. I had the chance to meet a lot of people that Scott works with daily. Super great people. And for some reason I have the nick name of Saint Laura. Never met these people and they are calling me a saint. Hmmmm...maybe this has something to do with my husband:) The auction started and the MC was a nurse named Jason only Jason did not show, his alter ego Summers Eve showed up ( THE RED HEAD IN ALL BLACK). Yep that is a guy!! Scott was #7. I am happy to report that he went for much more than $25. He was auctioned off for $150!! A nurse named Luis bought him. I guess I should tell you that there is no obligation with this auction, it is strictly for charity. But Scott did buy Luis' drinks the rest of the night. The auction went on and on. We had our babysitter until 11 and needed to get going. Later that night we found out that a total of $4000 was raised. What a great night!!

When I read the title of your post I thought you had sold your house. All I could think was "I hope they have a place to live for the next 6 months!" Ha! Congrats to Scott for raising so much money for charity!
