You're a WINNER (part 2)



Not too long ago, Venita posted about the fun prizes that we recieve when we get those flyers in the mail from the local car dealerships. So far we have recieved 3 MP3 players (they have made great gifts) and our running tally is now $20 dollars to Wal-Mart. On Tuesday when I got the mail, we had another flyer in our mail box from a dealership I had never seen before. On this one though, it didn't say what prize we won after we scrtched it off but had a number code that we would have to match up at the dealership. This afternoon we went down there and they of course tried to make us all comfortable and offered us drinks, had us sit down, etc. As I looked around though, I saw the sign that had the prizes with their respective number codes. I looked at our sheet to see which one matched and it was the 3 day/2 night vacation getway!! When the salesman came back, I decided to humor him for a little bit and let him show us about why Haundai is such a great car company and whatnot. After a few minutes, he took us over to the prize desk and both employees there were excited to see that we were the big winners. They handed us our information packet and with a few congratulations, we were on our way. Later, when I had a better chance to go through the packet, I saw that there was an extra voucher for a 7 day Florida vacation/cuise package!!! Needless to say, with the free flights that we are supposed to be getting from T-Mobile, we are very excited about the possibilities for this summer!!!
Moral of the story, if you live somewhere where they send out these promotional offers, don't just throw them away! Either go check it out for yourself and you'll recieve a prize and a great experience, or if you live in SLC, give them to us!!!

Tourists in Salt Lake City!

Last weekend we got to hang out with my little brother David. He was kind enough to come visit us for the day and even bring his cute girlfriend so we could meet her before she went home to Texas for the summer. We had a great lunch at Rodizio Grill and then to see the sights at Temple Square.





We had to take the typical pictures in front of the temple and also in front of the Home of the Jazz - Energy Solutions Arena!!! (Unfortunately we all forgot our camera's so all we have are cell phone quality pictures.)
To end our day, we headed over to the Dodge dealership to collect yet another MP3 player. Since we decided to let Kimberly have the player this time, we let her and Dave go inside to collect it. Jeph and I had a good laugh as the salesman tried to convince David he needs more than just the MP3 player. Good Job David and Kimberly!

Home Sweet Home

Thanks to my sister Lynnette for sharing this awesome clip with us. I just wanted to pass it along to all of you who don't read her blog. I remember many mutual nights spent Christmas Caroling and delivering bread and fruit baskets to the lovely Idaho Youth Ranch homes since it was technically within our ward boundaries. More exciting, however, was to hear of the kids being on the run because that's the only time the neighbors within a ten mile radius locked any doors whether it be cars, houses, tractors, barns (sheds).... Gotta love them small towns!!! Here's to Rupert and the goodness that exists therein!!
