Wells Fargo Appreciation Night

Bobby found out after we moved here that he had qualified to attend the Wells Fargo appreciation night from his old branch in Orem by being one of their 'top 100 performers'. When they have nights like these they usually have somekind of dinner, but this time they wanted to put all their money into the prizes so they just had appetizers and TONS of cool prizes to give away. Plasma TV's, laptops, video cameras, computers, bikes, patio furniture sets, etc. Every person that attended (100) would walk away with a prize worth at least $100.00. We debated on whether or not to attend because it was in Provo, which means we'd have to make the almost 3 hour drive twice in one evening (Bobby wasn't going to be able to leave work till 3:00 so we'd have to leave after that), but the thought of winning a big prize was just too enticing so we decided to go.

They decided to work out the giveaway by randomly pulling everybody's name out of a box and once your name was called you had 15 seconds to pick a prize and you could choose from any of the prizes that were available. They gave everyone a list of all the prizes the week before the event so that you could go through and choose which ones you wanted and the order, so that you would be ready to pick a prize when your name was called. Now, we were realistic and knew we probably wouldn't be in the top 25 but figured our chances were that we'd be in the top half (50). Wrong. Top 60? Wrong. Top 75? Wrong. We were number 87. The 87th name out of 100 people. Like I said, they had lots of cool prizes so we thought that we would for sure win something really cool, but by the time we were called and there were only 13 prizes to choose from...slim pickins'! We ended up taking a printer/faxer/copier combo thing that we hoped we'd be able to return and get store credit for (Target) because we already have a combo printer that works great. Turns out Target doesn't take returns over $30.00 without a receipt. Bummer! So I think we're going to try and sell it. Anybody need a printer?!

Even though we didn't walk away with a TV it was a really fun night and we got to see our friends Adam and Jana since Adam qualified to go to the event also-which totally made the trip worth it! We didn't get home till 1:00 am, but as soon as we hit the road Tyler was fast asleep and slept the whole way, which was a MUCH nicer drive than the one going down there! (I can only watch Elmo's World so many times before I want to poke Elmo's little eyes out!!)
