Step right up! Step right up!

Husband and I have had a tendency to win free stuff.

It just happens.

The opportunities just gravitate to us.

And then they turn out well.

We won't complain.

Well, one time, we were leaving the mall, and we spun one of those "WIN A CAR!!" wheels...

..you know...the ones you usually avoid..? 

Ya. I normally do too.

But for some reason, we went for it.

Noor won a free cookie.

..and 3 vouchers for a local improv comedy club..

..and a free appetizer to a cool restaurant in Houston.

It was in an aquarium! 

It was pricey, but with the free app..

and when we shared an entree.. 

and drank water instead of soda..

 we got out with a decently cheap night out.

..AND it was a really cool experience. 

There were some intense fish in that tank!

The food was good too. It tasted better than this picture portrays.

And yes..that is a fried pickle.

Also better than the picture portrays.

I spun and won a free 3 day/2night trip to one of 6 places, airfare included.

(after the whole timeshare schpeel... painful..but worth it...we think.)

We then also won another trip..this one to ARUBA!!

We are so excited for our anniversary trip next year!

Since then, we have received a free Nook color 

and discounted front row seats to WICKED..in New York City!

We have learned that if you go out on a limb sometimes and give some offers a try, 

they can pay off sometimes.

..and when those sometimes happen, we sure enjoy it!
