CVS CHARITY GOLF CLASSIC DINNER GALA

Last night was the CVS Charity Golf Classic Dinner Gala @ the Providence, RI Convention Center. Me, Steve, Jacob & Amy went together...& then ended up seeing Joe 1/2 way through the evening. Luckily Amy had her handy dandy camera on her! Mine for the 1st time ever wasn’t charged due to the craziness of unpacking at our house the past few days. Thanks for taking some great shots Amy! The night consisted of cocktail attire, open bar, a VERY yummy meal (fruit salad, filet, stuffed shrimp, vegetables, potatoes, dinner rolls & 3 deserts) About 20 pro golfers were there, including miss Natalie Gulbis of "Celebrity Apprentice"-who Steve kept drooling over! ;) ...Maybe it was because Natalie's "cocktail" dress was pretty much a man's dress shirt that was up her butt! HA...seriously. Everyone's eyes got big as she walked up to the stage...I honestly don’t know what she was thinking, it wasn’t exactly the right attire for last night's event. Too funny...I still love her though!...After dinner the live & silent auction started. People were forking out money like crazy! Hands were being raised left & right for high priced bids! Jacob had to swat Amy's hands a few times since she was making motions that looked like she was interested in the crazy expensive items!...Once the auctions were over a Beatles cover band called "Beatle Mania" played! They rocked! They even sounded & looked like the real Beatles! All in all it was a super fun night, I was able to meet many of Steve's co-workers & put names w/ faces. I did feel a lil out of it since I didn’t know what they were talking about 1/2 the time but that's OK. We all ended up leaving between 9:30pm & 10:30pm...Steve & I didn’t get home until almost midnight. I am SOOO EXHAUSTED! But it was well worth it. Until next year! :)
* OH duh...Steve, his brother Matt & brother-in-law Troy are at day #3 of the golf tournament...they have free parking passes & several tent/trophy passes as well! I’m sure the boys will have a blast this fine rainy day...
