Wii, wii, wii all the way home

we got a wonderful surprise this weekend.



We went to hubby's company picnic. Usually I dread them because everyone tends to stick to themselves, and i have felt shy in the past and didn't really enjoy the picnic because i didn't know how to engage others. So first off i was pleasantly surprised to find that i had some great conversations with several of the other wives. And at the end i was also able to approach one of the women that i've sensed some tension from in the past, and we had a good talk about our kids. So i felt very excited that i was able to move past myself in a social setting and make the best of a situation i was dreading (Susie pats herself on the back, hehe)



Secondly, they have a raffle every summer, with several gift cards and gifts to win. Surprisingly, our family won a Wii system!!!! We had been hoping to buy one for Christmas this year, so we ended up having an early "Christmas in July". What a total blessing! The kids were thrilled, and the look on their faces was priceless (I'm sure you can imagine). So guess what we did this weekend, lol. I rock at bowling, and am so-so at the tennis. Maybe i can get Wii Fit or Active for christmas. anything to get my rear into gear ;)
