The other day we posted a little contest for those who wanted to win some free tickets to the most killer party at WPPI, Airhorns & Lasers. The only parameters were you had to include in your submission a laser and an airhorn. We received some pretty funny submissions but got it down to the four tickets we have to giveaway.

And the winners are: 
1) Ken Liu 

So excited to party with you all in Vegas! I will e mail each of you with how to claim your tickets!

So you want to win some free tickets to the Airhorns and Lasers party at WPPI in Vegas this year? 

Since we had so many of you ask about tickets after our post last week we were able to lock a few down to giveaway to some of our blog readers and fellow party people :).
We will have four tickets to giveaway and we thought it would be funny to make a little contest out of this.
 
So the requirements are that you have to create a photo that has the two following items in it: 
-An Airhorn
-& a Laser

*Example photo is associated with this post ;)

photos should be sized to 550 pixels high and e mailed to us (consulting@sarahrhoads.com) by Thursday night at midnight. The subject line of the e mail should be AIRHORN WIN

The winning images will be posted and announced Friday and we'll look forward to partying with the folks who win!

THIS is exactly what I'll be doing today.... gorging myself with my favorite little devilish sweet tooth addictions. What else I'm addicted to? My amazing husband who is soo way out of my league it's not even funny. I'm smitten with him.... we went on a little scouting adventure the other night and it brought us deep into the snowy mountains. We both jumped out of the car in our tennis shoes and cardigans into a beautiful, snowy, winter wonderland. We ran around in what should have been snow... but rather it was rain... our legs falling into 3 foot snow drifts and us just laughing hysterically. Chasing each other around like little kids. You know those moments when your life doesn't seem like yours? When God gives us eyes to step outside ourselves and see from a birdseye view? Well, I stopped dead in my tracks the other night...  and felt a moment of complete and utter love, joy & humility that I ended up here.... with him... soaking wet, laughing in the snow. It was the sweetest feeling in the world.

Sorry for the sap but sometimes you just can't hold it in and this is one of those days that I have a "get out of jail" card for being a sap-face about my valentine. 

Also, these fab lips were done by the miss fab Tiffany Lowry from our "Deranged Housewife" Valentines Shoot!

A few people have lives as wonderful as you - but most of them aren't able to "get it" or articulate it. How sad for them. As for you, do NOT apologize! Revel in your fortune, and, by all means, share it. Serve as an example. Give others permission to explore their own good fortune.

Sam n' Mary says: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 05:52 PM

Don't apologize for the sap, its beautiful when it happens! Happy Valentines Day!

josh solar says: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 05:50 PM

You are a brilliant and inspiring soul, Sarah Rhoads. I'm thankful for our chats, and can't wait to finally meet you and Chris in 3 weeks :)
