And the Winner is….

 

Here is how it all went down:   As 2 o’clock was getting closer, I started
to get butterflies in my tummy.  I was so
excited to see who would win.   I couldn’t believe that this day was finally
here, and that we would finally be drawing a winner for the CAR GIVEAWAY!    (Side note:  We
ended up selling 132 tickets with quite a few people waiting till the last
minute, imagine that.) Back to the story… I had arranged for Matt Duncan of
Matt Duncan Mobile Car Wash, 806-543-5242, to come detail the car for the winner and thought
that since he would already be here to wash the car he would be the perfect guy
for the job.  (Sarah probably thinks he
was perfect for the job too.)  I had
never met him and since he didn’t know anyone in the drawing there were no
biases.  Matt was very helpful and took
my silly directions well.  (the video
will be up soon, I’m having to convert it) On top of being so helpful he even
gave me a 50% off discount to clean the car inside in out!  What a Guy! 
As Justin stood behind the camera, Matt started the process of drawing
the lucky person’s ticket out of the clear bin, with me narrating all the while!  (Sorry we only had one car to giveaway, we
would like for you all to have taken home the prize.)  And there it was…. he pulled out the ticket,
and read the name, “SARAH ALAJMI”.  Sorry
Sarah, he probably butchered it.   We
called Sarah, who had apparently lost track of time and didn’t answer either
one of the numbers that she gave us.  (so,
sorry the video will be a little less climactic with no screaming winner )  Needless to say, when we did finally get a
hold of Sarah she was shocked, stating “Really? 
I never win anything.”  (She didn’t
answer the phone earlier because she and her mom, were on the road to Albuquerque
for the balloon festival…how fun).  She
said, “Do I have to claim it now?   Mom, we have to turn around.”  She was quickly assured that we could get
everything squared away when she got back from her trip.  Justin and I can now breathe a sigh of relief
knowing that our fundraising is coming to a close and the car went to such a good
home!!
