Congrats!  We have already send your information to RomanticMarriages.com!

.....and HERE is her story...

This year, my hubby was laid off for the second time in our marriage, involved in a motorcycle accident just weeks after starting a new job that took months to find (so no health ins. yet), had two rounds of kidney stone visits to the ER over the summer, wrecked his truck the day the kids went back to school and just found out they are restructuring his 100% commission pay. He works 60 hours a week going in early so he still gets home for family dinner and started donating plasma for extra money. I run our 6 kids everywhere, teach piano, work nights, and pick up nursing shifts between everything else to help make ends meet. It has been a stressful year. We limited our gifts to each to $10 a piece but I wish I could do more. He brings laughter into our home and is an incredible dad. He is thoughtful, helpful, strong and resourceful. Life is crazy but so amazing. I hope I will win this great gift to add a little sparkle to our Christmas this year. I can just imagine the twinkle in his eyes and the smile on his face.

Congrats, Autumn!  We hope this gift makes your Christmas a little more special!
