Passed out on Mom's shoulder during Pirate's of the Caribbean.
We got home from Disney and waited until midnight so we could find out who won the Epic Room Makeover Giveaway. I had totally convinced myself that I was not going to win because I didn't want to be completely bummed if I didn't. All the Hill's that were still awake gathered in Mom and Dad's hotel room and waited until the final results were posted. Mandi had sent out an email to the top ten saying that she would announce the winner in a blog post at 12:00 am since the linky that keeps track of the votes would automatically display the person who won by showing how many votes that person had over the entire week.
We waited and waited and waited... and there was no blog post. I looked on the linky and my picture thumbnail was the only one that had a number of votes underneath it, so I thought that maybe by some miracle I had won! BUT, I couldn't be sure or let myself really believe that I had won until I saw the blog post myself. :)
12:10 am, still no blog post, so Spence leaked the news that he had talked to Mandi a few hours before and sure enough, I had won!!!!! I still was slightly in denial, but couldn't believe that we had done it! We had spent the entire last week thinking, breathing, dreaming about how to get more votes, and it finally paid off!! A few minutes later, the blog post appeared and officially showed that I was the winner. The next morning I talked to Mandi and the planning had begun. We had a crazy few days ahead of us, but we were both excited. |
