For those of you entering the HGTV dream house giveaway- Just thought I would let you know you need not waste your time. I have it from a trustworthy source (the voice in my head) that this home was made for me- It is going to be mine so... Don't be a hater- just be happy for me- You guys can come visit as soon after they announce my name as the winner.
Funny Story.
The other day I was watching HGTV with the kids. Doug was out of town. They showed a commercial for the Dream Home giveaway. I remembered that I have yet to inform them that I will be the winner this year. I told the kids that I was going to sign up for the contest. Jordan, our 6 year old, was overly excited about it. She kept on giggling and telling the rest of the kids to look and see what mom was doing- look at this house... After her being silly about it a bit too much I asked her to please calm down. About 15 minutes went by and Jordan still had a smile from ear to ear. I looked at her, baffled. What was this kids deal? She looked deep into my eyes and with her smile, she giggled and nervously said "Mommy, Daddy is going to be soo upset" giggle giggle.
Pause wah?
All of us asked her "What? Why will Daddy be mad?"
"You just bought that 2 million dollar house, Daddy is going to kill you-(giggle giggle) he is going to be mad..."
All of us started laughing.
All the nervous laughter now made sense- she really wanted the house and was excited but she knew how this was going to go down when daddy came home- I guess she thought I was willing to sacrifice my life for my children to live their life's in our new mansion. The things I do for my children- the sacrifice.

I'm sorry to inform you but, I have decided that WE are going to win this year's home. But, I'm planning on vacationing in it shortly after we win, then putting it up for sale. You are welcome to purchase it from us (Doug will be soooo mad!).
Ha!
I can't wait to come and visit. Thanksgiving this year? It will be so nice in beautiful Sonoma CA.
I never win anything so I'm not even bothering to enter. It's also not one of my favorite homes. I guess I could sell it to you for 2 mill. and build a house I want. Maybe I will enter after all.
Hi Everyone,
I just happened to be thinking of you tonight - we are dealing with some stuff at our UP house and were thinking of neighbors we miss! HOpe all is well. It is fun to look at your blog and catch up on the family news.
We are in FL, not too far from Disneyworld - 2 hours South of
Orlando and 30 min. North of Palm Beach. COuld be worse, but I miss WA very much. I could relate to one of your blogs about missing things in UP...
My love to the family -
Joan Klostreich
