WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!
My dear friend Tim submitted a 200-word essay to Southern California Honda and….
WE WON!!!!!
He had submitted us for a Honda Element (the day before the contest ended, LOL!) But after seeing our story, SoCal Honda decided that what we really needed was…(wait for it…)
A TOTALLY ADAPTED ODYSSEY MINI-VAN!!!! HOLY FRIGGIN’ COW!!
Evidently, poor Tim and his wife Leilani have known for TWO MONTHS that we’d won, but were sworn to secrecy…can you imagine having to hold that in from one of your closest friends?!?
So yesterday a nice bus came and picked us all up and carted us off to the fabulous Peterson Automotive Museum. When we got there, there was no Element, so we figured we’d lost. NOT!!

They are fitting it now for a lift (oh, say it with me: SNAP!!) and will call us next week to tell us when we can go to the dealer to pick up…
OUR NEW CAR!!!!!!
SA-WEEEEET!
