If you’re any where near a regular reader of my blog, you know I hardly ever use this platform for personal reasons. (Though, in reality, aren’t all blog posts some how personal?)
Anyway….My wife and I (mostly my wife, Amy) entered the Merillat Good Life $30,000 kitchen contest, and we are among the 10 finalists. We’ve passed the internal selection process, and now our fate is up to the general public.
We would very much appreciate your vote for Amy Driehorst on the Merillat contest Facebook page. (If you follow the link, see item #2 for the link to vote.) You don’t need a Facebook account to vote You do need to be logged into your Facebook account to vote,* and you can vote once a day throughout the run of the public voting process — which ends July 7, at 11:59 p.m.
You are not allowed to vote more than once a day. In otherwords, YOU CAN VOTE ONCE A DAY, EVERYDAY. 
To see all of the 10 finalists (including ours), go here. To just see our entry on my YouTube page, go here.
For video credits, most of the credit goes to Amy. The focus of the video, script, etc., is pretty much all hers. I had some input and did the recording. Our very good friend, Shawn Sieg, did the editing.
Now, per the contest rules, we cannot offer any “inducements” for you to vote for Amy:
Finalists are prohibited from obtaining votes by any fraudulent or inappropriate means, including, without limitation, offering prizes or other inducements to members of the public, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion.
So, the only thing I can guarantee to give you if you vote for Amy is very sincere, heart-felt THANK YOU!
