Win a contest during my engagement-CHECK!

I have been wanting to win a contest for our wedding since we have been engaged. I told Noel it was on my "bucket list" of things to do while I was engaged. Seems silly I know. But I got the opportunity the last week of September. The Barefoot Bride page on facebook posted a status claiming to have a contest going on for free shoes and a $50 gift card to the winner who will post a picture of them and the story of how they got engaged and the winner with the most likes wins. I was the first and only one for a few days before anyone ever added their own posts. Finally, 2 other people added their stories and the race was on! The contest was supposed to end at midnight on October 1. Well, midnight October 1 came around and I had won yet the next day the owner of the page hadn't been on to declare the winner and the other competition was steadily gaining more votes. I finally texted the women and asked her what was going on. She told me to just keep going and extended the contest until midnight that night. I was so mad! Not only did I annoy every person on facebook for votes, but I was tired of sitting behind my computer begging for votes! We were neck and neck throughout the rest of the day but I was still ahead when I finally got off the computer. Later that evening around 8pm, my mother texted me to tell me I was losing by 20 votes. I told her that I gave up and that I had fought the hardest I could but there wasn't anybody else who would vote for me. Later when I got home that night around 11:30pm, I didn't want to look at the scores so I started to get ready for bed. That's when my WONDERFUL brother Troy, texted me to tell me that I was ahead! I couldn't believe it because I thought for sure I had lost. So, I got online to check and I was steadily pulling away from the competition! Troy told me that he saw I was losing and had thought, "She can do this, she can win!" And between him and my wonderful sister Shannon and her boyfriend, John Michael, they rallied all their friends for last minute votes and I won 385 to 355 & 25 votes!! I thank everyone who helped and I promise to never do this again! lol
