Before the Heart Ball, people from the American Heart Association came over and spent the day with us filming. We were SO nervous!!! We had no idea what to expect. It went so much better than we ever thought! It wasn't nearly as scary as we were picturing haha! Definitely different than what we're used to though! They had all of these lights and cameras....they even powdered our noses haha! The film that they took that day was used to create a video to be played at the Heart Ball. Following the video, we were asked to make a speech (which I kindly nominated Colin for the job😉You can see the video here:

The Heart Ball was this past Saturday, the 24th. We had such an amazing time! There were over 500 people there. We, of course, were very nervous but also very excited. Abigail and Colby did great!! Well...mostly great. Before getting on stage, Colin and I thought Colby would be very scared and timid. Ummm....nope!! Couldn't be further from the truth!! He walked right on up there and started singing, turning off the stage lights, pretending to be a cat....yep...no stage fright here!! Haha!
Abigail's and Colby's cardiologist was there as well as Colby's heart surgeon, which made the night even more special. We are forever grateful for them. We truly have the best medical team.
It was such an incredible night. We stayed up entirely too late, but it was worth every second. So many wonderful memories were made. Definitely a night we will always remember💕






Of course we may be a little prejudice, but we honestly believe that the American Heart Association selected the perfect family to be honored this year! We feel so very blessed!
