I won!
🙂
I was shooting for a car. But! I came in second. And am acquiring quite a few things we didn’t have and didn’t need (besides the $ of course). Which makes it all the more luxurious and exciting! I love that Christmas is coming and we have a package coming in the mail. Such a treat when I was literally telling my husband that all I wanted for Christmas was help to move the bedroom furniture around. 🙂
We won a 55inch LED Smart TV, a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.2, a handheld wireless Dyson vacuum, Pickle of the month club, Ford knick-knacks, and $1,000. {!!!}
Pretty Crazy!
I’m really happy for the winner of the car. I befriended him on Facebook. He’s been attempting to win this car for months! I knew who he was through previous contests to win this car. The Ford Fusion. And he is so psyched! ~So that’s pretty awesome.
The contest was a three hour live youtube event. We stumbled in with two hours remaining and frantically put everything else aside to go all in. The goal was to send in a creative comment about the Ford Fusion and we could enter as many times as we wanted. Ryan and I submitted nearly 20 comments. My 2nd place comment was this:
“I’m peanut butter, the road is my jelly, and the Fusion is the greatest thing since sliced bread.”

I kinda think God didn’t want us to get this car. Well, He really wanted the other guy to have it. We were SO close! The closest we’ve been to winning a car. This is a really cool part of the journey. These particular prizes are strange yet pretty ideal for our family. 🙂 We haven’t had a tv for a few years so that will be fun! (We’ll stick to watching whatever is online, hopefully without increase, only on a much bigger screen.) And the money is being used on a few necessities. The rest will hit the student loan debt. One step closer!
So there’s been lots of excitement around here!
All the while, we’re preparing our hearts and home for Christmas! New traditions for our family this year. Like having Christmas at our house and attending a new Christmas Eve service at our church with the kids! As they get older we can add more fun things to the list of family events, I love it! 🙂
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
