Winner! Winner!


Guess who feels like a winner?  That's right...it's me!

Every year my handsome hubby's work holds a photo contest.  This year over 350 photos were submitted and just 30 were chosen to be blown up and hung on the walls of Intel for all of time.  I reluctantly gave Chad my pictures to enter (he really had to force me into it because after looking at some of the other submissions, I felt it was quite pointless).  When my picture made it through the first round to the top 80, I felt like a champion.  I really didn't think it would go further than that.  But...drum roll, please...it made it all the way!  I can't believe it!  Toot toot!  That's my horn.  (Sure, it's not cool to toot one's own horn, but I'm doing it anyway because I'm so excited!)  What did I win, you might ask?  Fame?  Fortune?  No, no.  Nothing like that.  Just the affirmation that I took a cool picture.  AND Chad will think about me every time he goes into work when he walks past my giant picture.  As if he doesn't do that already, right?

Here is my winning photo!

Thank you, Chad, for encouraging me in my photography endeavors.  You are wonderful, supportive, handsome ta-boot, and I love you!
