$500 Shopping Spree = AWESOME :D

My husband and I got a phone call the other day, from which we learned that we were the winners of this drawing that we had entered in forever ago. We won a $500 gift certificate to a pawn shop! Unfortunately, we had to travel to Roy, Utah to get to the nearest of that particular store, but it worked out great! I had imagined the store to be a little bigger and have more things in it, but it was actually pretty small and didn't have exactly what I thought it would have. However, it was still a pretty nice store, and they did have a lot of awesome stuff in there for pretty reasonable prices. This is what we ended up getting:

An X-Box 360 Elite (with a second controller that they gave us for free)
A Nintendo Wii (with two controllers plus a nunchuk too)
A Nook
All Six Episodes of Star Wars (and for only 15 bucks too!)
Transformers 1 & 2 (also for only 15 bucks!)
And A Whole Bunch Of Games
               -Bully Scholarship Edition (Wii)
               -Borderlands (PS3)
               -UFC Undisputed 2010 (PS3)
               -The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (X-Box 360)
               -Call of Duty 3 (X-Box 360)
               -Two Worlds (X-Box 360)
               -NHL 2K6 (X-Box 360)
               -Fable II (X-Box 360)

We ended up getting a lot of stuff, and we didn't even have to pay for it! On top of all that, we also found a disc still in the X-Box 360's tray (NCAA Footbal 12, which is like a $60 game!), and ANOTHER disc in the Wii (Madden NFL 10)! Getting that certificate was like Christmas all over again, only we didn't end up broke afterwards! All-in-all, a pretty awesome day, I would say! Amid all this chaos and stress that is our life, we were blessed with this amazing gift, and I'm so thankful for it! You never know when something like this will happen to you. ;)
