We won by a mere 105 votes!! Thank you again. The company has also added decided to pay the 11th ranked blog, From My Position, $250 as well, bringing the total award amount to $5,500 donated by the company.

True to their word, VA Mortgage Company has already made good on their promise. Approximately five minutes ago, they deposited the $3000 (before Paypal’s stupid $88 fee) into our Paypal account.

  11. Just want to say that if any of you are so inclined, you might want to go over to Sgt Hook and drop a little coin in the cup on the side bar so that Hook can make it to the Conference in the Spring. Doesn’t have to be a lot, but if we all leave a little something, it will add up. Hook is a really great guy and it would be nice if we helped him out. Cause that’s what this is all about right?

  12. already did it. Yes, please help send him. I’m going to give those cookies to the Walter Reed guys and gals, so please use that money you would have spent to help with shipping to SGT Hook.
