Celebrate with us today! Lots of fun stuff happening here today!
The pizza has been officially ordered and 10 people will be getting a little Blu love at lunchtime. If you happen to have your camera ready take a shot of the pizza guy and send it to me!
UPDATE: this is so much fun. We received about 1300 requests to receive pizza today in honor of our birthday. And we SURPRISED 10 people. Pizza #1 has just wrote in with pictures to let us know she received his pizzas! Jamie Weiss from Tennessee.
Woo-hoo!

#3 pizza has been delivered to Theresa R.S. Thurman in Kansas.(no camera)
#4 pizza has been delivered to Gretchen Miner from Colorado Springs, Co and her helpers
Pizza #5 has been delivered to Christine Tremoulet of Texas.
Pizza #6 has been delivered twice to. Christian Heurich from Smithsburg told the poor pizza guy he didn't order pizza and sent him on his way. Blu received a call saying the address was correct but the gentleman denied us! The good thing is that only minutes later he realized he must be a winner and recovered his 2 large pizzas & Sprite.
Pizza #7 has been delivered to California's Allison Stahl.
Pizza #8 has been delivered to Nancy of www.bugandbeanphoto.com
Pizza #9 Utah's Kelli Ward received her pizza and her hot husband showed us how you eat pizza!
