Amazing Luck!!

So we were all out shopping today, grocery shopping to be more specific, and we had 2/4 stores done (yes, we hit up all three grocery stores PLUS Wal-Mart to get all the sales, we're starving students, sometimes literally) and were about to walk out of "Fresh Market" when over the intercom comes the announcement, "Attention customers, this is just a reminder that we will be having our nightly drawing of a $100 gift card in about 20 minutes, so put your name in the box on aisle three!" Well, Nate and I can't turn down a chance to win $100, so he put our names in (triple folded our papers so they would be easier to grab) while Rachael and I went on a stroll for 15 minutes. We came back (after I said a few little prayers, we could really use that money) and what do you know... they didn't call our names. Ah well, what can you do... JUST KIDDING!! They totally called my name! I was (needless to say...) PSYCHED!! So I did a little jig up to the register, showed my driver's license, received my card, had my picture taken (I almost gave the card back when they told me about this part) and let my little princess pick out a treat. (Well... daddy helped her pick a "clean" treat, Skittles) I'm still loving my luck today!
Here is Rachael enjoying her good luck! (She didn't finish the whole pack, in fact, she put about 1/4 of it into her mouth, sucked it into a big ball, then put it in my hand. Motherhood is full of little joys like that)

I love that you did a little jig on your way to the register, i can totally see it in my head and it causes me to giggle so.
I'm glad you guys won, you deserve it! & Rachael appears to have thoroughly enjoyed her special treat too. haha.
