We attended the MS Carnivale again this year, and once again had a great time for a good cause. This year it was at the Pere Marquette in down town Peoria. My brother-in-law, Brandon, was a co-chair this year and was a major part of the planning of this event. He did a great job, and I think the event was a success. We had great drinks, great food, great entertainment and a great time! The only thing missing was our friends, Mike and Katie. We missed you guys, but we made sure to have a drink in your honor;)

OMG!!!! look what I won!!!!
Each year we go to this event, my mom does not, but she does give us money to donate to the cause and to "play" with in the raffles. So I put my money into a raffle to win a trip to Las Vegas. Brandon took their money and put it in a raffle for a bottle of wine and to win a diamond necklace. After the fact, he told me that he went ahead and put Tammy's name and my name in. Not thinking anything of it, because, I NEVER win. I NEVER even won at BINGO! Well, holy moly... I WON THE DIAMOND NECKLACE!!!! I can't believe it!! It is beautiful! But of course I was feeling really guilty because a) I didn't enter myself into this raffle and b) it wasn't my money. So to make myself feel better, I offered it to my mom (but she just took the bottle of wine) and I offered it to Brandon for Tammy and he turned me down too. So it is mine! YAY! Now too bad I'm not fancy enough to wear it anywhere:)
