Today was Jeremy Christmas party at work, and as usual I was not looking forward to it. There are usually around 500 people there, and they get the food from the chow hall!! Jeremy baited me with the promise of not having to cook, and well, I am always up for not cooking, so I put on my happy face and went.
They always give you tickets for door prizes when you come into the building, and they are usually pretty good. This year the grand prize was good, I mean really good. All night long we seen person after person win ipads, TVs, laptops. Finally it was our turn and we won an amazing......birdhouse snow globe. Yeah, a snow globe! Beggars can't be choosers so I toldthe kids we were lucky to have one anything. The kids were starting to get a little bored, so we decided to go see Gunny Clause, and visit the craft tables. By this time a lot of people were leaving but the kids couldn't leave with out seeing santa. As we waited in line we seen all kinds of tickets laying around were people had left, so we of course picked them up hoping to up our chances of winning something other than a snow globe.
We all knew what the Grand Prize was, but it was the last drawing of the night. The kids had kind of started falling apart so Jeremy took everyone but Shane out to the van, but I refused to go until the last ticket was drawn. Right before they anounced the number on the ticket Shane asked me if we were going to win. My reply was something like, there are a lot of people here so we may not win and that is OK. Then they started calling out the number and to my extreme shock, it was our number, we won the grand prize! What is it you ask...........A trip to DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!! I really don't know who is more excited, me or the kids.I think the best part was getting to go out to the van and tell Jeremy and the other kids that we won. It is a moment I will never forget! I can't believe we are taking our first real family vacation to Disney world, and it is mostly paid for!!! We are so blessed!!!!!!!!!!!!
