Last weekend, I went back down to L-town for the annual bridal show. I wanted to try my luck on the Mr. Penguin wheel.... I was really going for the free veil, but I got a $50 gift certificate instead- I'll take it! After that mom and I spent the day picking up a bunch of random things for the big day, plus we went in and ordered my veil.. now $50 off (thank you gift certificate!)
My trip down there last Friday started off a little crazy though. For one, the weather was not looking too good, lots of snow and wind. Thankfully when I took off from school things seemed to clear out.
After getting started on the road I was driving along and listening to my favorite country station up here (I am from Indiana after all) and they do this contest every evening during rush hour. They play 8 songs, and then people call in and recall 4 of the songs and they win something: concert tickets, autographed stuff, etc. So... here I am driving along 65 and they say call in if you know the songs... so..... I called. I ended up trying 3 times because the line was busy, but on the 3rd try..... "ring, ring" I GOT THROUGH! So to make a long story short, I recalled 4 songs on the radio for all of the Chicagoland to hear and I won 2 tickets to go see Josh Turner in February at this super small country bar. I'm super excited! Alex and I both couldn't believe that I got through, during rush hour, when soooo many people live in this area and tried calling. It was pretty neat. Winning tickets on the radio can officially be scratched off of my bucket list. Next, I need to work on getting Brandy and I on Wheel of Fortune for "Friends Week". :)
