Our hopeful ambitions for being contestants on the Wheel of
Fortune have now become reality!! Just a week before Christmas, Jimmy and I
were pulling into the driveway as I received an incoming call from Culver City,
CA. Having prior knowledge that the Wheel is taped in Culver City, I immediately
knew who was calling. I quickly jumped out of the car to ensure no screaming or
crying would occur during this phone call (from my boys in the backseat) and
motioned Jimmy to bring the boys inside.
I remained calm as I talked with the contestant coordinator
but was completely freaking out in pure excitement and disbelief! Immediately
after hanging up, I ran into the house and proceeded to jump up and down as I
informed Jimmy of the news! “We’re going to be on Wheel of Fortune!! We are
going to be on Wheel of Fortune! We’re going to be on Wheel of Fortune!!”
Charlie started laughing and giggling so hard because I’m
sure he thought I was just so ridiculous! This I do wish I had on video. Jimmy
obviously was in disbelief but completely thrilled as well! We both couldn’t believe our “What if?” had
turned to “What now?”
After laughing so hard together and calling our parents and
close friends, we began making plans for our trip to LA. We are by far the most
excited to be contestants on America’s #1 Game show, but we are also so
thankful to have the opportunity to take a little warm vacation together in the
middle of Minnesota cold! J
And are grateful my little brother and
mom will be joining us to share in our excitement!
We will be taping on January 15th and our show
will air on TV the last week of April. We’ll be sure to keep you updated and
share however much we are able!
