& I'm Also Thankful For...

--I'm thankful that country music is what plays in the background of my life.

--That my iPhone comes with a built in flashlight, I can't tell you how many times that thing has come in handy. 

--that I'm getting a new design from Sarah soon :)

--that although I'm missing Thanksgiving because I work, I don't have to work overnight, because our sales are at 6p and 8p Thanksgiving.  #gottafindasilverliningsomewhere

--that we have decided that we will not be doing the family Thanksgiving 5k this year, my legs hurt for a like a week afterwards last year.  

--I'm thankful for Brantley Gilbert.  I mean hello, have you seen him? Country music singer, tattooed and just all around sexy! 

--that Arizona and Callie are back together on Grey's, because that intern Arizona was with? DROVE.ME.NUTS. Can you say stage five clinger? 

--Starbucks Peppermint White Mocha

--that my momma taught me how to stand up for myself and to not take crap from anybody.  

--that facetime exists, because that's my main communication point between me and my cousin/best friend, Spencer.

&& before I leave, I just have to give my grandpa a huge happy birthday wish, he's 69 and this is a birthday we weren't sure he would be getting after a year full of health scares.

The Lie Revealed & Winner.

So on Wednesday, I posted two truths and a lie and asked you to pick which one was the lie.

To refresh your memories, the choices were

#1- I am indirectly related to at least one NFL player--this is a truth.  My stepbrother's cousin is Chad Greenway of the MN Vikings, he's just on the side that my stepbrother and I don't share.

#2-I am saving my first kiss for marriage-this is also a truth. I felt God telling me to make this commitment when I was 15 or 16.

Which means #3, that I took my parents car for a joyride when I was 14 and got pulled over by my dad's best friend is a LIE!

Four people picked out the lie and the winner of the gift card of their choice is Rachael from Pretty in Pink!

2 Truths and a Lie. (+GIVEAWAY)

Oh yeah, one of the classic icebreakers our lovely teachers would make us play the first day of class in high school, now bringing it to blogland with a twist! Whoever guesses the lie correctly will be entered into a pot to win a $10 credit to their choice of Starbucks, Amazon or Target.  

1) I am indirectly related to at least one NFL star.  

2)I'm saving my first kiss for my wedding day.

3)I took my parents car out for a joyride when I was 14, and my dad's best friend pulled me over.  

Get your guesses in by tomorrow at 11:59p and I'll announce the lie and the winners on Friday!
