A few months ago I entered a contest…then I forgot about it. My life is hectic and doesn’t always go the way I planned, but then, that’s life. On Thursday a long distance number called me and left a message. I was making dinner with my daughter and getting things straight in the kitchen and I never heard my cell phone. By the time I checked my messages, it was late. I almost dropped the phone. Someone from HGTV was calling me. Seriously. On Friday I got in touch with her and found out that my essay was a finalist in a contest they had about why I needed a vacation. I am not joking. This weekend has been a whirlwind of cleaning the house, trying to find out how fast I could get a passport should I need it, and oh yeah, making a video to send to Pie Town. I’m not going to be able to go into any specifics because I really don’t know anything. All I know is I have a chance to go on the adventure of a lifetime and I hope we make it. Our family is running up against other families, but I think we have a pretty good chance. One last thing, we get to tell them our favorite Disney or Pixar character…ha. Tough choice.
