My mom got a Christmas card in the mail today from an old friend of hers saying how they voted for us. Made my day! I keep hearing about how a bunch of different people I had no idea even knew about our competition that voted for us.
Thank you everyone! I still can’t believe it. Your kindness is greatly appreciated.
Though, I’m sorry to say cookies will be delayed. I’m on the poor end at the moment and there was a lot of you. Apparently over 17,000 of you. Luckily only around 50 of you sent m your addresses at the cookie request. I’ll do my best…!
But just so you know (cuz people keep asking), we do not have the ring yet. Addison is now the contact person for it so I can be somewhat surprised. He said we won’t be getting it until after the new year. But that’s perfect since I don’t think he was planning on proposing quite yet anyway.
But when he does…trust me. I’ll keep you posted!
Small things. Big dreams.

I would be the person who sent the Christmas card to your mom. We were friends from the age of 6 or 7 in Maryland. I was very happy to vote, on a daily basis. I also got my daughter and all of her friends involved as well. I was also friends with your dad, in high school, before your mom and dad even started dating. So, anything I can do for old friends, I will do. Congratulations on your win.
