The day was a huge success. All of the hard work that Erik and I put into Jude's team paid off. We ended up placing in the top 10 fundraising teams! This was our one day where we could hold Jude up and scream "He's ours!" without annoying the heck out of everyone around us. With our sign held high and "I'm a Jude Lover" shirts all over the crowd, Erik and I took a step back and breathed it all in. These people are here for Jude. They are here because they love him. We couldn't help but cry as we were surrounded by all our family and friends (ok fine, Erik didn't cry. but I definitely did). Although I was puking in the corner all day (no I'm not pregnant, just a bug), we all had such a great time.
Jude had clearly just woken up from a nap and was really confused why we were still there.
Can you please take a second and enjoy the deliciousness that is coming from the bottom of this picture? It was a quick "Hey lets take your picture before you leave and things get crazy, ready set smile!" and amazingly enough that is how Jude's face turned out. And I'm totally diggin on Jude's shirt. (Side story: Our team name was The Jude Lovers, so our shirts said "I'm a Jude Lover". My brother in law actually had someone ask him exactly what a Jude Lover was...yes that really happened)
We had over 50 people come and support Jude, over 60 people purchase t-shirts, and we passed our goal of raising $1,500. We want to give you all a big big THANK YOU to everyone that was so willing to support Jude. Like I said, Erik and I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such amazing people. We know we would not be where we are if it weren't for the wonderful people we know. Jude's success is because so many people love and support him. THANK YOU!!!
