Update - Thursday, September 12, 2013

Hey guys!  Ashley here.  This post is LONG OVERDUE but oh my have our lives been upside down lately!

Sean and I are finally all settled in our new condo.  We moved in this past Sunday and we are truly so incredibly happy here.  It'll be a perfect little home for us until we are ready to really put some roots down in a few years.  It's finally starting to feel like home now that we have things hanging on the walls, incense burning and all of our awesome food cooking in the kitchen every day ;)

We have a few updates to share with you guys as well regarding our fundraising progress.  It's been a very successful summer for us.  We've been continuing with small fundraising projects like collecting bottles and doing yard work for donations, and we also had an awesome fundraiser event at Broken City Social Club in Calgary on July 24th.  The fundraiser itself raised almost $1,000.00.  We were thrilled and so touched to see all of you who did come out to support us.  A special thanks to my friends Francis Catolos and Ariel Nelson who accompanied me in providing the musical entertainment for the evening.  Another huge thanks to all of those who donated to our silent auction; Jennifer and Becky from Diva SalonSpa Southcentre, Lucinda Bareham and Alda Budge from ATB financial, Amphy Calma from Laser Health Solutions, Ivana Dojcinovic from Stella & Dot, and Tobin Dressler.  Without your generous donations, our success would not have been possible.

Below are a few select photos from the event...















As of September 12, 2013, our total funds raised are sitting at $2,950.00.  Incredible.  We are $50 away from being halfway to our total goal of $6,000.00.  There are still 169 days left until we leave for Indonesia, and we are sure that we'll be able to continue to raise money right up until our departure.

Of course, as always, you are able to make direct donations to us by clicking the "DONATE" tab at the top of this page.  Please keep in touch and keep checking back for further updates!

I love you beautiful people so much.

xoxo A
