This is the story of a girl

Every so often (read: between five and twenty times a week), I ask Jacob to tell me a story. Usually, his stories go something like this:

"Once upon a time there was a beeeautiful girl. And this girl [insert random activity I've recently done, like "read lots of books" or "body slammed her husband"]. The End."

Sometimes the stories are about a boy instead. (That's Jacob, in case you were wondering.) And sometimes, they're even about the boy AND the girl! Ho ho!

Today, I want to tell you a different kind of story. Here goes:

Once upon a time, there was a girl. (That's me.)

This girl went off to college her freshman year and had a beeeeautiful roommate named Kristin.

Kristin did many important things for this girl, like instructing her to part her hair to the side instead of the middle, expanding her musical horizons, and -- most importantly -- refraining from killing her roommate when her shoes mildewed after going puddle jumping and she had to stick them in the freezer to try to kill the smell.

After their freshman year, Kristin and the girl went their separate ways, but they still stalked each other's blogs and facebook pages and such.

Kristin married a handsome man named Cameron.

Kristin and Cameron want to start a family of their own, but it's going to take some pricey medical treatments for that to happen.

Here's where you come in.

They're holding an online auction on June 24th and 25th to help raise money to cover the $25,000 price tag for the treatment. They're looking for people to donate items for the auction, and I know some of you are crafty enough to have your own Etsy shops or small businesses and the like. Would you be willing to donate for a worthy cause?

Or, if you don't think you have anything to donate, would you be willing to prowl the auction site instead?

Let's help make their dreams come true!

The End.
