CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION 57th ANNUAL BALL

Tonight was the CHA Ball that we have attended for the past 7 years (we missed last year's due to a friend's wedding--the only Ball we have missed since we met!). This event will always have a special place in my heart, as it is where my husband Matt & I went on our very first date. Exactly one year later, he proposed to me in a 1938 Packard limoseune on the way to the very same ball. My very own Cinderella story (except that I'm still looking for my fairy godmother and I thankfully never had to wear soot-covered clothes. Plus my size 10 feet are DEFINITELY too big for glass slippers! HA!). CHA is an amazing organization that I volunteered for as a member of the board for three years. Check them out at http://www.cha-stpaul.org/ I enjoyed running into my pageant "sister" Karen Sorbo, who was the event auctioneer and also Mrs. Minnesota International 1991. A great time was had by all!
