Good Morning!

Unfortunately we can only have one winner and that winner is:

I have to start this part of the post by saying THANK YOU to everyone who applied to the team. I know I cut the time a little short. I meant for the call to be over on the 10th (the night of the 9th) but in my madness in my head, I posted wrong. Forgive me for that.
It was so wonderful to get so many people interested and seeing so much talent come through my email. I feel so very honored and blessed that so many people tried out. I had to narrow the applicants nearly in half (which was SO hard to do) and am now ready to announce the new team

Drumroll please.....
