Joe and I went on "date night" to an auction sponsored by Marine Officer Spouses Club with all the money going to charity. Joe, of course, hit the food table as soon as we got there while I looked around. I saw 2 pieces that I really like and wanted to show Joe. After I finally found him (at the food table!!) we agreed on how high we were going to bid and took our seats. I was very nervous and wanted Joe to raise the paddle when the item came. The first item came up and Joe sat there (actually he wasn't moving fast enough for me) so I grabbed the paddle and started bidding...we won! It is a bar that opens up to store lots of things. The second item came up later in the night and I had the paddle again! It got to the bid of our top bid but I did not have the bid (if you can understand that) so I raised my paddle upping the price and going past our agreed on top dollar. As Joe looked at me, I stared straight ahead waiting for her to say "Sold" and for what seemed like forever she finally said it and the Step Tansu was ours!! It come in 3 pieces and can be arranged in different ways, the picture shows how we are currently displaying it. No more auctions for us.... we are still on a weight restriction when we leave here in 2 years!
