<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Guess what that day is?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well to give you time to think ;) I'll tell you a story. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have a legit callus on one of my fingers from hand-addressing every wedding announcement we are sending out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And now I can say that I have a callus and I saved 40 bucks! Frugality rocks!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(Ps if you didn't get an announcement and want one, tell me quick!)</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And like no big deal but..... I'M GETTING MARRIED IN 2 WEEKS?!!! Today CJ and I went to pick up our wedding bands-- CJ tried his on and said, </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"it's official, I'm married!!" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">...not yet :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had to laugh because the first thing I thought of was when I was 5 and Dallin was 3 and we played dress up every Sunday in my parents' closet. We always played that we were getting married and Dallin ALWAYS wanted to be the bride.... not that I was going to be the groom, duh... so we were both brides and no it wasn't weird because we were 5 and 3. Dallin would put on one of my mom's white skirts and say, "look, mom! I'm married!" And then we would hold each other's "trains" and walk around for a while until we were bored of being married. haha...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Good thing I'm not 5 anymore cuz getting bored of being married could potentially cause some marital problems. ;)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank goodness I'm 21 because....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I can't wait to marry CJ and to be with him for<b> eternity.</b></span></div>

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">WE'RE ENGAGED!!! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(old news, but new to the blog)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yes, it's true! CJ Lewis proposed on March 23, 2012 and I said YES!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">No, this does not mean I will have a married blog anytime soon.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But I AM accepting <i>creative</i> nominations for the future Taryn+CJ Lewis blog title!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyways! The short version of the proposal went like this: </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We went on a double date. CJ proposed. I was shocked. We got ice cream. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Or, you can read the long version:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">CJ and his buddy Shane are on 3 of the same intramural teams, so at a football game a few weeks ago, Shane's wife Kortneigh asked me if I had ever heard of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching" target="_blank">geocaching</a>. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Had I heard of it?! I WAS OBSESSED LAST SUMMER. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">CJ knew this, had told Kortneigh to casually bring it up and make it sound like it was my idea to go geocaching sometime, and schedule a double date.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The date was scheduled and Shane and Kortneigh talked smack all week about how they were going to win (naturally it was going to be a competition) but I knew CJ and I would win, cuz I'm the experienced one, DUH. Friday finally rolled around, and we were to meet at a park at 8 pm to start geocaching. Whoever found the most geocaches in an hour won, and we planned to meet at an ice cream place at 9 pm.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This would have worked out perfectly, except my phone wouldn't download the app/the app wasn't working. All four of us sat at the park for 20 minutes while I tried to get it to work, with no luck. I finally just suggested we all go in the same car and that it wouldn't be a competition, but they were "stubborn" and wouldn't agree with me. Kortneigh shoved her Iphone into my hands and said they would use Shane's (except it was dead...ha) and we were off!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I kept telling CJ, "I know where a million are on University Avenue!! Lets go there, we'll win for sure!!" But he WOULDN'T LISTEN and said that we should stay around that area. I was annoyed because I wanted to win. We found the first one by the temple, took a picture to prove we found it, and AGAIN: "CJ! Seriously lets go to University Avenue!!" But he grabbed the iphone and found the closest geocache to us, at Rock Canyon park.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We pulled over, I SPRINTED to the spot it was showing on the GPS (go hard or go home!), and shone my flashlight around the area to try to find it. I saw something shiny in the trees a little ways off, ran over there and realized it was a CAMERA on a tiny tripod (you'd think that I would have caught on by now right? Nope, I'm oblivious as ever). I told CJ that there was a camera and how weird it was and all he could say was "...There's creepers in Provo." HAHA.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I literally was thinking, "who films geocachers on a Friday night? That's so lame," and then I ignored it because I thought, "we don't have time for this! We've gotta WIN!" We found the geocache, I took a picture and started running off back to the car, and CJ told me to come back. He told me to read something and then <a href="http://yessicajensen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Jess</a> came out of the trees and started snapping pics (by this time I had caught on, and started shaking and stuttering over my words). He gave me the cutest note, got down on one knee, and PROPOSED.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!</span><br />

Because the WCC doesn't have swimming, we were moved to the MPSF. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">nbd right?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well, sadly, our new conference decided it would be a good idea to schedule our conference championship the same week as Valentines Day.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Don't get me wrong, this isn't really a big deal. Valentines Day is just a way to stimulate the economy by telling men that they need to spend their money on chocolate and flowers... </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">OR ELSE.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">However, my fabulous boyfriend had a better idea and SURPRISED me with 2 tickets to see <b>Lady Antebellum and Darius Rucker in concert FEBRUARY 14!!! </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The catch...

</span></div><div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">That being said, we have 2 tickets we need to sell... as soon as possible. Anyone?</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday I wrote an entire 12 page paper. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">How long had I known about this paper?

The kids are so cute and I usually love every minute I'm there! But this teacher I work with.... is SERIOUSLY RIDICULOUS!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A little girl finished her math test early today and got permission to draw, so she stapled a few pieces of scratch paper together and made a book about Unicorns (adorable!), and then proceeded to show her teacher her piece of work. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As a teacher, I think you have a few different options here:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1) Praise them for working hard on their test and then thank them for drawing quietly while the rest of the class finished,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2) Praise their piece of work (positive reinforcement!) so they'll continue to be creative in the future, or</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3) Give them suggestions to make their work better.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What happened though, SHOCKED ME.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The ONLY thing the teacher had to say about it was:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"You are wasting all of my paper! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had 50 sheets in there on Monday and now there's one?!

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Emily turned around with a sad look on her face, and my heart melted. When she got closer I pulled her aside and told her how great her book was, and this ADORABLE little girl smiled and wrapped her arms around me. Then she skipped out the door with a </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"See you next Wednesday, Miss T!"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know this isn't the most entertaining blog post, but I never want to forget how upset this made me.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Walking through that isle and deciding what to buy STRANGELY enough (ha) gave me the most random craving...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ne9iy42gwzg/TjJKm5k4RwI/AAAAAAAAAH4/12gjLEQKK7c/s1600/black_licorice.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ne9iy42gwzg/TjJKm5k4RwI/AAAAAAAAAH4/12gjLEQKK7c/s1600/black_licorice.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">MMMMMM!!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lets just say I may or may not have eaten an entire bag of black licorice today...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I enjoyed every minute of it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Moving on:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have the best job in the entire world.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Why? I get the combination of 3 of my favorite things into 1: </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">swimming, kids, and teaching.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But I have a little list to prove it, too:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Reason #1: I don't have to shower, put on makeup, or brush my hair or teeth before work! (JK ABOUT THE TEETH)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Reason # 2: I taught a boy a few weeks ago that resembled one of my favorite tv show characters...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLUU7EVKbgE/TjIz83IQ1OI/AAAAAAAAAH0/-3HJOAZnnIc/s1600/modern-fam-manny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MLUU7EVKbgE/TjIz83IQ1OI/AAAAAAAAAH0/-3HJOAZnnIc/s1600/modern-fam-manny.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">MANNY!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Every time I looked at this little kid, I couldn't help but SMILE because Manny is so loveable and hilarious!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I just looked on youtube for a clip of Manny and unfortunately just spent the last 45 minutes watching hilarious clips from Modern Family with Trev. SO FUNNY!!! If you haven't seen this show (and even if you have) WATCH THESE and you are guaranteed a laugh!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/1aSzTVrP5FQ?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

He is THE BEST!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">WHEW! (Tangent: if you haven't noticed this blog is nothing but tangents. I feel like that's just kind of how life is. Nothing in life is formally introduced; we don't get a preview of what's going to happen- life just kinda HAPPENS and we make it work! Ooo wasn't that deep?! but seriously back to my real tangent... ah shoot. Forgot what I was going to say. Dang tangents)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Numero 3 reason why I love my job: The cute things the kids say. For example, I was trying to get a little girl to swim backstroke with straight arms and told her to reach for a plate of cookies on the top shelf. She then went on to say: "What if mom says no?" </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Yesterday I got a $50 dollar tip. NBD.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. I taught a 7 year old girl who had a near death experience in a pool at the age of 2 and has since been extremely terrified of water. She screamed, cried, kicked, told me she hated swimming, and it just went on and on every single day for almost 2 weeks. My ears were ringing after her lessons because they were so miserable for her. She wouldn't leave the steps, and if I pulled her out with me she screamed harder and tried to climb up me to get out of the water. To be honest, I have NEVER wanted to give up on a kid until this little girl came along... I knew I couldn't though. It took almost 2 weeks, but yesterday she floated and today she swam to the deep end BY HERSELF! I was so proud of her for overcoming her fear, that I almost had tears in my eyes.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>She told me today that all she could dream about the night before was how she could swim, and how it wasn't scary!</b> THAT is why I have the best job in the world.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This experience has really made me realize how blessed I am to have the talents God gave me, and how lucky I am that I get to share my talent with these kids every single day. As EXHAUSTING as it is to teach for 4 hours after a long practice and little sleep, it's always worth it at the end of the session when the kids are confident and happy swimmers. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I. LOVE. MY. JOB. :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The end.... this post has taken me a ridiculously long time to write. I blame youtube.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">GOODNIGHT!</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3690894278826690245.post-30880559012451898652011-07-16T19:35:00.000-06:002011-07-16T19:35:14.218-06:00Unlucky or lucky? You decide<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Winning stuff on the radio has never been so anticlimactic</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">or such a let down before this week.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Not gonna lie, I win tons of stuff on the radio. It's all random, but who would pass up:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Dinner for 2 at Sweet Tomatoes</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Monster Truck Rally tickets</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">4 tickets to a Grizzly hockey game</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Concert tickets to some band I don't even like</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">You all know how competitive I am... </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I just get a rush from hearing the dj announce that caller 10 will </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">win "this and that"...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and then calling in just to win, regardless of the prize.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sadly, out of all that crap I've won, I've never gone to pick any of it up.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's usually not worth the drive to downtown Salt Lake.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Plus, I just like to win.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">BUT THIS WEEK........ I struck gold! With............</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">HARRY POTTER tickets!!!!!!!!</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">These tickets weren't just any tickets- they were tickets to an exclusive showing!! The winner watched the 1st movie (of the 7th book) at 6 pm and then watched the brand new one right after, with a theatre to themselves and their friends.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">COOL RIGHT?!!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I was freaking out on the phone (like you're supposed to), </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">and then the dj asked where I was from.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(Still freaking out): "PROVO!"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The dj kind of laughed and asked me if i realized that the movie theatre that I had just won tickets to was in good ol' Farmington, UT.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">FAIL.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">If I can't even drive to Salt Lake to pick up prizes, what makes anyone think I'm going to drive all the way out to Farmington to use my prize?!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">(Sorry to all the Harry Potter die-hards that read this)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This made me conclude that I'm a lucky winner when it is something I don't really care about (ex: Monster truck rally tickets). But when it's $50 at a junior high assembly or a free trip to Hawaii, I am the unluckiest winners of ALL TIME!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">SOOOO... to all you unlucky ones out there!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Life has been so wonderfully GOOD and hilarious lately.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First off:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I FINALLY (after MONTHS of trying) got to watch my odometer in my car turn from 999.9 to 000.0!
