  2. Courtney~ I happy danced it so hard I gave myself a headache! Or maybe that's a head rush. And I was so elated that I called my husband twice to tell him, except that I didn't remember calling him the first time until he said, "Yeah, you just called me." Sent me into a laughter fit I couldn't stop for minutes.
