just a random little B story

Last night B and I drove the 45 minutes to meet Adam at UMHB. The religion department was having a BBQ (or as Texans call it, a "cookout") for all Christian Ministries majors, kind of a meet and greet if you will. We got there, started chit chatting and before I knew it B was sitting on this gal's lap in the door way handing out raffle tickets. She was so proud of her new job and was handing one to each person walking in the door. All the college girls told me how cute she was and how if we lived closer they would totally baby sit. :) Anyway, at the end of the meal they started the drawing for the raffle, there were several little prizes being given away and some folks had given B their tickets (at first she was reluctant to take them saying "I already have my own!" but then once she understood that the more tickets she got, the more chances she had to win she happily grabbed tickets out of folks hands! Mine included!). Anyway, the very last number called, was Brennan's! She won a prize!! With my prodding she nervously walked up in front of the crowd to claim her prize, everyone started to clap and cheer for her, she was so proud! B is the proud new owner of a $15 Wal-Mart gift card which she promptly wants to spend today on something "princess." It was a sweet ending to a lovely night in central Texas. Happy Friday and have a great weekend, all! xo
