Wheel of Fortune!!!

Well, the good news is we had a BLAST!!!
The bad news...this is probably as close to the WHEEL as we'll ever get!

But I'm getting ahead of myself here.
I flew into SD and my LOVELY mom picked me up at the airport and took me to Nat's.
Then Nat and I were ready to head to the big audition, but first we had to make a quick stop.

The Drive-Thru Window guy wasn't too happy about me asking him to take our pic.
Notice there are 2 drinks and only 1 straw.
Pretty sure he did that on purpose.

Not to worry.

Nat hit the brakes, jumped out and fetched us another one. Good thing, cause neither one of us were about to exchange germs by sharing 1 straw.

We made it up there in plenty of time, so we hit the mall for a little shopping.
It was pouring down rain, & Nat was so happy that she brought her trusty umbrella.
If only she had been willing to share it.
Starting to wonder if she really intends to share that potential prize money...
We finally got to the auditions with a bit of time to spare, so I tried to pull a Jamie with the one arm wonder, but I obviously need some pointers.


After heading to the bathroom to freshen up (which was full of cute but STINKY gymnasty girls!), we were ready for our audition. They weren't ready for us though, so we broke out the cards. We never did get to play because we decided to make friends with the enemy.

Here they are: THE COMPETITION. Lookin mighty intimidating, huh? The couple on the left and in the center made it through to the 2nd round with us (along with about 40 other people).

Doing our Vanna pose before going through those doors and watching our fate unfold. Once inside, we called our letters loud and clear, worked as a team, bombed the written exam, and were remarkable while introducing ourselves. They told us that if we made it they'd call us in the next couple of days (kind of like don't call us, we'll call you?).
But we had the BEST time and are just happy that we made it to the 2nd round because that means we're .....

NOT 1ST LOSERS!!!
WHOO HOO!!!

Thanks Nat (and Jer) for letting me come and thanks Jamie for taking the Lukester!
IT WAS THE BEST!!!
