Can you believe it?

This past week, I took a couple days off (plus the weekend) to attend the Fall Men's Conference with some guys from my church up at Hume Lake. I took quite a few pictures and had a great time and will blog about that soon. But if you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, or IM, you may have noticed something interesting. Since I've been getting questions all week, I figured I'd write it up sooner than later.

Throughout the conference, we were given the opportunity to buy raffle tickets, the proceeds going to send kids to summer camp that couldn't afford it. Like most of the guys in attendance I bought 10 tickets for $20. On the final day, 10 tickets were selected as "potential" winners (from at least 1000)...and *two* of mine were selected! In fact, two of another guy, Larry "something", were also selected. The eight of us got up on stage and our tickets were placed in a new box. At this point, if your ticket was pulled from the box, you were out (as there was only *one* prize). One by one, people were eliminated and at the end, *both* of my tickets were left in the box...making me the clear winner!

So, what did I win?

Can you believe it?

I can't believe it!  But then again, I know you cannot tell a lie, so I have to.  Congrats!
