Running with Miles will turn two at the end of this month, but as my family can attest, I have a total inability to hold gifts off until the birthday party. 🙂 Every year, my wife has to work hard to keep me from giving her gifts early! Well, I am doing that now! The blog doesn’t turn two for a couple more weeks but I thought I would start the giveaway celebration now.
Kindle Fire Giveaway
I will be giving away a couple of special gifts over the next two weeks. This week, it will be the Kindle Fire HD 7″ 16GB (this is the previous model). This is a brand new model in the box and ready for its new owner!
Fine Print:
- This Giveaway will run through Tuesday, December 17 at 11:59PM (EST)
