I WON I WON!

So I STILL can not believe this...even as I type it all in! I had a friend a few weeks back host a "Juicey Juice" House party. I couldn't make it to her party, but looked at the House party website. I decided to sign up and see if I could host a party too. I saw an American Idol finale party and knew this was one that I wanted to host. I signed up and answered some screener questions and was chosen to host! A bonus to hosting was that I could also be a part of an "Idol Rocks, Ford Rolls" sweepstakes. As part of this sweepstakes, I needed my friends and family to vote for me. The drawing was at random, but I needed as many votes as possible! I decided that if I could get 500 votes I would stop trying. After emailing all my friends and family, the church, and a local college, I posted on Facebook and let it go. I was very encouraged each day to see the votes rise on the leaders board! I half heartly all week, joked that I would have to cancel this or that because I was going to be in LA! Much to my surprise on Friday morning, I sat down to the computer and checked my email...no email stating that I had won. I jumped on to Houseparty.com and checked here to see if anyone had posted...nothing. Then the phone rang. It was some random marketing company that I had never heard of. I answered and the next 10 minutes of my life were the most emotional 10 minutes I had felt in years! I wanted to scream, shout, cry, and be pinched! I actually won! I WON! I won a trip for two to LA to see the American Idol finales in person! Hotel paid (at the London West Hollywood), flight paid, and a $500 visa card! WOW! On top of all of this...a 2010 Special Edition Ford Fusion Sport! Here is more info about it from a press release that Ford put together: Custom made for serious music fans, the limited edition Ford Fusion comes complete with everything you need to karaoke while on the go.
