Our local radio station, X94, does a big giveaway game on the air every summer called concentration. I have been determined to follow along this year. It is a lot like the classic children's game Memory. You have to keep track of prizes as they are revealed. You are in charge of your own game board. This is mine.
Every hour or so, they tell you to call in and the 9th caller gets to play. They say 2 numbers and try to make a match. Easy enough, right? WRONG! I am horribly unlucky and have NEVER made it through to be the 9th caller. Or ANY caller for that matter! Last week, I heard one of the prizes revealed and I knew we HAD TO WIN IT! I had been listening carefully for the match, and when it was revealed I was ready to play!!! It was a new hot water heater. Ours is in bad shape. It gets worse and worse with every shower we take. It is electric and old and we can't even fill up the bath tub! Anyway, I knew, with my luck I would never get through. So I called the one person who has been incredibly lucky lately. I knew he wouldn't let me down! Good old Brett. (Remember the trip he won? The $300 he won on the penny slots in Wendover? Yah, he is lucky. Me??? Not so much.) I also recruited Cara to help me out. We were all at or jobs "working" and we had all been listening when they announced that it was time to call. We all dialed the best we could. I was calling form the work phone and my cell phone. So was Cara. Brett called a couple of times from his work phone. I never got through. Cara got through as #3. I hadn't heard from Brett and figured he was busy at work. I knew we were losers. A few minutes after you call, they play that call on the radio. I was pretty ticked because I figured someone would win it that didn't even need it or didn't really care about it. They started to play the call. I was sitting there all bummed, and I heard Brett's voice on the air!!! HE WON!!! Can you believe that? He hardly even tried.
He is so dang lucky! Oh well, the last few times he has been lucky, I have benefited too, so YEAH! Anyway, Quayd and I ran to the radio station today to pick up the gift certificate. In the car we had the radio on. We were listening to Charlie and Brandon. I told Quayd that when we walked inside, those guys would be inside talking and we would probably be able to hear them. He thought that was so cool. We stepped in and quickly, Brandon walked out. He started talking to Quayd and then said, "Come with me!" We followed him and he gave Quayd one of the new AWESOME X94 t-shirts, then took us on a tour of the station. It was so cool. I was not prepared, so of course, no pictures. Dang. But it made Quayd's whole day. He loved it! As soon as we got home, he put on the t-shirt and has been wearing it ever since.
Brett called and made arrangements to get our new hot water heater. It is gas so it will be SO much better than the old piece of crap we have now. THANK YOU X94!!!! Everybody should listen! It is the BEST radio station EVER!!!!

Its so not fair when people are that lucky, but it is awesome when you're married to one! Tony is that way too, he can win pretty much anything he enters. Hope you enjoy your new hot showers! Okay, sidenote...the airshow this year was the biggest one EVER at Hill so that is crazy! We were just 7 of the 390,000 people that watched. LOL

You totally deserved it!!! I personally know the woes of a sucky hot water heater! Way to go Brett!
