We won!

Remember when I told you about the opportunity to win an HP Mini?   The Mom Bloggers Club was giving away an HP Mini to three bloggers who had the most creative post with the theme of how this computer would “Simplify My Life”.

Well my post was chosen (go read it, it’s not long, it’s funny and has pictures of cute kids) as one of the three most creative posts so Hewlett-Packard will be sending our family a brand new computer.

Yes, I’m having a hard time believing that we won and yes, the children are just as excited as I am. :)

God has truly blessed our family!

I’m sorry there was no Not Me Monday today.  My “real” life  is busy, busy, busy and even though I had a great (and I think) funny idea, there was simply no time to get it onto the computer.

    Congratulations! Couldn’t have gone to a better family. Now your kids can actually do something during the day other than stand in line for the computer!

    They picked 3 comments from all of the comments on the “Simplify My Life” posts.

    You can see the comment winners here. They called them “random winners”.

    I am absolutely delighted to read that you have won.

    I don’t follow many blogs – but I do follow yours. I love how creative you are as well as energetic.

    Your family is one that I wish to somehow take a bit of your spirit and bring it to my own!

    I have been reading the Bible in 90 days b/c of your blog! I read it to my son who is 16 and is dx’d with severe autism and profound mental retardation. What does he get out of it when he tests at a 3-6 mo level for receptive understanding? Only God knows. I however, get more out of it b/c he is next to me allowing me to read in his same space.

    I also have two others with autism and myself I challenge cancer. I am tired and worn out. I look forward to your posts… you somehow rejunivate me… you keep me going and I humbly thank you for this.

    If I ever come into a large sum of money, rest assured, every one of your olives will have a computer and you my dear – would have someone feeding you peeled grapes!!!!

    Suzanne,

    I honestly don’t know what to say. Your comment is humbling. You face trials that I can only imagine and yet I rejuvenate you? God does use the weak and foolish things of this world.

    God bless you and your family!!

    Thank you.
