I'm one of those people who never wins anything. After the last month, I can no longer say this about myself. I am not one of those crazy people who stay up late into the night finding giveaways to enter. But occasionally, if I see something that looks fun, I'll enter (with very low expectations). In the past month I have won not one, not two, but THREE things. This is so out of character for me that I had to write about it to share my excitement!
In March, the fabulous Ostler Orthodontics gave away tickets to the Tri-City Americans hockey game. My first win! They lost the game, but we had a super fun time! I haven't been to a hockey game in years. As a bonus, the game was on my dad's birthday, so I took him and it was a free birthday gift! I also took Ben and my sister Kelsey.
Win #2 was a few days ago. Our local LDS bookstore (think of a more expensive version of Deseret Book) was hosting a Ladies' Night. I knew I wouldn't be able to actually attend the event, so I registered for the online event. I did a little dance when I saw this email:
Win #3 happened this morning! I participated in a NCAA bracket challenge through BYU-Idaho's Alumni Association. This one isn't really a giveaway since it took a little bit of knowledge about college basketball. Oh, who am I kidding? It was mostly luck. 45 people entered and I tied for 5th place. The top 9 got prizes. I would have gotten higher if it weren't for stupid Florida losing. I have no idea what the prize is, but who cares? I'm still pretty proud of myself. Anyway, there's me on the very bottom of the list. If you'll excuse me, I need to go enter the publisher's clearing house sweepstakes before my lucky streak ends.
