So I got one of the biggest surprises of my life today. Never in a million years did I actually think this would happen. So you know how you go to some places and people want you to fill out these cards to possibly win a trip to some place nice. Well I am one of those people and I actually won! When I got back from the Philippines at the beginning of the month, the New York State Fair was going on. This is the third year the fair has gone on while I have been in Syracuse, so I finally went. I got stopped by someone to fill out this card, and what is weird we were all joking around about what would happen if we win. Well I got a phone call today with someone saying that I filled out a card at the State Fair and that my card was pulled. I was like "Holy Crap." I was caught up in the moment, all humbleness was thrown out of the window. I am floating because I just won this 2 week vacation. The guy starts telling me all the places I would go to Orlando, Daytona, Fort Lauderdale, and the Bahamas all in 2 weeks. It seems like a dream come true right...wrong! Now they needed a processing fee for each person on the trip, which would be two people at a total of $249 a person for a grand total of $498. This is where I start to look at the situation. It is a nice deal, but should I accept this. Given the fact that I am with the Brothers, major permission would have to be granted. They couldn't take the money later, it had to be at that moment with me on the phone no call backs. I went to Br. Dan and told him the situation and he told me to decline because it was probably a scam. How I wish it wasn't though. How I wish it was legit and that could of been my vacation after novitiate. Br. Dan humbled me back down, but I am just excited that I did win, even though I didn't accept the prize.
In other news our basement is done and it looks really nice. My provincial is coming tomorrow for his visitation. Tomorrow is our Foundation Day and we are going out to eat tomorrow night, should be fun!
