Nick and Jamie met in 2005, and were married on July 25, 2009. We live in Spokane, Washington and love it here. However, our families live a little further away - Nick's family in Central Washington, and Jamie's family in Wisconsin (Go Badgers). We finally decided to create a blog so everyone can see a little of what we're always up to.

HalloWine Auction

Every year we have an auction to benefit a local charity, through the Inland Northwest Business Travel Association (INBTA). I am on the board of INBTA, and volunteer to be on the committee for the auction. It is very time consuming, but feels so good when it's done and we're able to donate a lot of money to a great charity. This year, we selected the "Fantasy Flight" for our charity. Fantasy Flight takes the most underprivileged children on an adventure they'll never forget! These kids get to go to the airport, board a plane, and fly to the North Pole to see Santa, the elves, and real reindeer! They receive a good meal, presents, and lots of love. The Christmas magic is more than you can imagine. Feel free to look it up online for more information. Here are some pictures from the auction we worked so hard on:

Some of the silent auction tables

Live auction lists... a lot of great trips.
We had fabulous procurment again this year!

The Wine Wall
You can purchase a cork for $20, and it matches a bottle of wine..
Some are very expensive bottles, so it's fun to see which one you get.

Baby reindeer! They're only 9 months old.

Die hard volunteers... here until the very end!
Yes, I realize I'm squatting awkwardly... but we tried to squeeze in.
