The Price is Right Game Night! Milina is the Winner!!!

Since I haven't been called yet for my chance to go to the Price is Right in person, my sweet, awesome, wonderful, etc sister-in-law Jill surprised me with a Price is Right game night last night! She really did a great job preparing for it. She tivo'd the game show for weeks to get the ideas for the games...ha ha I secretly made you watch without even knowing! It was GREAT! My father-in-law Doug was Bob - not Drew - sorry Drew! He said he was Bob because he had the same color hair as Bob. My mother-in-law, Susan, was the Barker Beauty. Jill was Rich and said what everything was. Then all the rest of us were contestants. The first thing to bid on was a diamond ring which Darin won because he saw the card with the price somehow. He got to play hole in one...or two. He didn't win. Sorry Darin! Then the next prize was an I-Phone for 299. Everyone else overbid and I bid 199.00 so I got to go up and do the next game. I kissed Bob on the cheek! (my dream - to kiss Bob on the cheek) Mine game was Punch a Bunch! One of my favorites because I am a Taekwondo instructor and I love to punch, plus you win even if it is only $50.00. My other one is GAS MONEY because you can win a car and money!!! On my first punch I won 500.00 and I threw it back and got 50.00. I of course threw it back too and then the next one my father-in-law said that I could take that one or he would double the amount that I get on the next one so I took the double and the one I gave up was the 10,000 one. I won 2,000 though! Yeah! To bad it wasn't real money huh! Then, there was a bike to bid on and something else. Jonathan got to go up and so did Patrick. I can't remember what Jonathan played but Patrick could either win a car, a trip or money. He had to choose #s and under that number was either the front and back of the car, the top or bottom of the plane or $$. He ended up with money! But at the end of the day I was the one with the most money so I was the first contestant for the showcase and Patrick was the other one. The first one was 3 trips to great places but I passed because I could never find a babysitter for 3 long trips nor would I want to be away from my beautiful twins that long! So Patrick bid 23,???. My showcase was a Toyota and a 2007 Shelby convertable silver mustang. I asked the audience what I should bid and then came up with 107,318. My showcase was 147,000 but Patrick's was 20,800 and was over so I WON!!! I didn't get both showcases but I did win and it wasn't rigged! Wow!!! It was so much fun and I want to thank my wonderful sister-in-law Jill for thinking it up and preparing it and Michelle and Susan for their help with the games! I HAD A BLAST!!! Thanks Jill!!! Oh, I forgot, the best part was I got to win while holding Adam in my lap and having Mia beside me! I couldn't do that if I were really on the show! I am still waiting for the call and hopefully they will call soon! I don't know when or if I should give up but I know this whole experience has been a huge thrill and I would love the chance of a life time to go but if it doesn't happen I had a blast with the family last night!!! Do have a great family or what!?!?!? I am truly blessed! :)
