I can’t express with words alone what the last two weeks have been like. But, here is a piece of it.
Purpose. Persistence. Tired.
I know this is only the beginning and this week has really helped in setting the stage for the weeks to come. My expectations are completely gone, thankfully, and the palette is wide open and ready to absorb the newness of this season.

Last week we worked over 70hours and it was totally worth it. Every minute we got a vote and it is what saved us. We only won by 1200 votes and at the rate out competition was gaining on us if the competition went on for 18mins longer we would have lost. Thank you so much to everyone who voted! It truly is what helped us win.

Chase Bank came to the office today to officially announce us as the winner. We had multiple news stations here and it was so great. We got to be here at 5am this morning so we wouldn’t miss any action.

All in all, it is the start of something great. I can’t wait. Jump first, fear later.
