Footer moved out of place after floating gallery images left

Hey everyone,

So I attempted to float my gallery to the left, but after I typed out the code and refreshed, my footer floated left with my gallery and there is no spacing between images in my gallery (nor is there a grey color block around the paragraphs describing each image in the gallery).

Thanks for your help!

Here is my css:

/*********************************
GENERAL
*********************************/

body{
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%; 
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}



/*********************************
HEADING
*********************************/

#logo {
  text-align: center; 
  margin: 0;
}

h1 {
  font-family: 'Changa One', sans-serif;
  margin: 15px 0; 
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
  line-height: 0.8em;
}

h2 {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  margin: -5px 0 0;
  font-weight: normal;
}



/*********************************

*********************************/

nav {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px 0;
  margin: 20px 0 0;
}



/*********************************
FOOTER
*********************************/


footer {
  font-size: 0.75em;
  text-align: center;
  padding-top: 50px;
  color: #ccc;
}



/*********************************
PAGE Portfolio
*********************************/

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}


/*********************************
COLORS
*********************************/

/* site body */
body {
  background-color: #fff;
  color: #999;
}

/* green header */
header {
  background: #6ab47b;
  border-color: #599a68;
}

/* nav background on mobile devices */
nav {
  background: #599a68;
}

/* logo text */
h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

/*links*/
a {

/* nav link */
nav a, nav a:visited {
  color: #fff;
}

/* selected nav link */
nav a:selected, nav a:hover {

}

WOW! Just realized I forgot a semi-colon after margin in my css for #gallery and it fixed EVERYTHING. Phew!
