here's to those who say they never win anything

Destiny...that is the word I would use to describe what I'm about to tell you. So a few weeks ago I was at Real Deal's Home Decor shopping for my friend's wedding gift. I already had a gift for her, but just wanted to get her a little something else. There was a drawing you could put your name in to win some stuff. So I thought "Hey, I'll give 'er a try". I was about to walk away, but decided to put Cole's name in the drawing too just in case.

Then a few days ago a weird number called me so I didn't answer the phone. I listened to the message and it was Real Deal's trying to get ahold of Cole. I thought it was really weird that they were trying to call Cole and just didn't call them back. They called me again, but I didn't answer cuz I thought that they were just trying to promote or sale something.

The same day I missed a call from a lady in my ward trying to get Visiting Teaching Reports done for December. I thought I'd call her back but couldn't remember which number was hers so I called the Real Deal's Number by accident. I said "uhhh I need to report my visiting to you..." The lady was like "who is this?"
"This is Cicily"
"Oh! Are you related to Cole?"
"Yes, that is my husband". She then proceeded to tell me that he had won the drawing and that they were trying to get ahold of him. She told us that we won a $100 visa card and a one-night- stay at the Black Swan Inn!!! Wowza! Destiny I tell ya...pure destiny. I almost didn't put his name in the drawing. And by accident I called Real Deal's back and I'm so glad that I did. Whew that would have been a bummer if I just kept screening her call. Too bad we didn't win it earlier for our 3 year anniversary that was a week ago. Oh well, we'll have another romantic evening coming our way. YIPEE!! And I always say that I never win anything. I'm eating my words.
