SURPRISE!

On Wednesday evening, we headed to Terre Haute to surprise Jessica with the money we helped raise for her cause. (If you missed the past blog posts, click here and here to read her whole story!) Anyway, her best friend Jess had set up this whole thing…she told Jessica that they would go for a "girls night out" dinner at Red Lobster, one of their favorite restaurants. Luckily, she bought the story and even though she wasn't feeling well that night, she came anyway. Jess had called all of Jessica's closest friends and family to join us in surprising her and proceeded to collect more cards, checks and gifts for Jessica before the surprise party. Prior to Wednesday night, we had all helped collect $4,400 for her cause…but I just heard that the grand total for the evening ended up at $5,500!! Thank you to ALL of my clients, friends and family who helped make this surprise a HUGE success for all of us! 🙂 Here's the first of many checks…

And some of the gifts she received…one group of hospital staff members even pitched in and bought her a pink iPod! 🙂  

I LOVE this…Jess put the names of all of the people who donated on this card…it was continued on the back too… 

LOL She also bought her some cute Victoria's Secret PJ's for her upcoming hospital stays….

And Jess got her some roses too! Look at all of the goodies!! 

Here's Jess texting Jessica before she arrived… 

And Jessica looking at all of us like "what is going on here?!" 😉  

The reactions!! She was sooooo adorably cute!! She was so surprised and excited all at the same time. The cutest was when she blurted out, "I'll be able to pay all of the medical bills now!" 🙂 That was our mission! LOL She was so surprised at all of the items that local businesses donated too…I loved it! 

Jess spent the whole day putting the names of everyone who donated into the heart shaped raffle box…there were a LOT of people!! 

The official drawing… (and if you won, Jessica Durbin will be contacting you!) 😉  

Here's everyone watching her pull names for the winners of the raffle… 

Both Jessicas together!! Love you guys! 🙂 I'm so glad we were able to help you out with this project!!!!
