Luck be a Lady...

I'm going to Vegas baby! - before my luck runs out. While I wouldn't consider myself an unlucky person, I wouldn't consider myself particularly lucky either. Until today that is...

Our friend, Stephanie, invited Kate, Ava and I to her table at a benefit event for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). This fantastic production was held at the Georgia Aquarium and had an "Under the Sea' theme. We were level with tanks of beluga whales, sharks and the famous whale sharks. The girls were completely mesmerized. The committee truly outdid themselves with the preparations and we loved every minute of our time. Kate's favorite part was having her makeup done and "sparkles and jewels" put in her hair. All good things must come to an end though, and our afternoon came to a close as we watched a fashion show. This fantastic time was had for the purpose of raising money for CHOA (what a win-win, wouldn't you say?).

Well, since I am not a lucky person I usually steer clear of all raffles, lotteries and such. Today though, I bought several tickets because I felt like we were getting a free ride and I hadn't really contributed to the fundraising efforts. I bought 2 tickets for a trip to Aruba (really wanted that one), a Mommy/Daughter gift basket, a $500 Dillards card and at the last minute, I threw my last ticket in for a custom designed kids playhouse. So as I am sitting listening to them announce the winners, I about fell out of my seat when I heard that yours truly won the playhouse. That's right, me who has never won anything, just won a custom designed playhouse valued at $10,000. (Yeah, I am guessing that it has to have granite countertops, running water and AC to go for that much! We'll see.)

So if you're coming through Atlanta in the near future, we just got some more room for you!
