THEY CAME!!!!!! First of all, I want to let you guys know how much fun this was to share this with all of you! You are such wonderful people! So many good wishes and thoughts that we were overwhelmed! But the time has finally come to give you all and us, closure.
Here goes....Two envelopes arrived today. One was a letter that explained to us about the policy and had a check in the amount of $2629.38 with it! Yes, we were excited! However, there was only one policy listed on this letter. The first letter that DH received stating that he was the beneficiary, said 2 policies. So of course I called... and the lady I spoke to said "no, you should have received TWO letters today". Of course DH was so excited to see the first letter, he didn't check to see if there was ANOTHER ONE in the pile! What a kumquat head! So we both glanced down at the stack of election literature and started going through it. (could have been a slapstick comedy!) Yep! There was the second letter! This one had the second policy # on it and another check in the amount of $6728.78!!
So there it is! Whoever guess $9,358.16 is the winner!!!! AND there we have the roof!!!!! I'm wondering if we can swing maybe a nice down payment on a trip...we really should do something for ourselves as a 'special treat', don't you all think? I'm also thinking Dear Auntie made a nice "deal" for 2 $500.00 policies! Who'd have thunk??? Never in a million years would we have expected anything from her at this time. We are still shocked that he was the beneficiary on it. He was only 1 when she took those 2 policies out!
Thanks everyone for having such a good time with us!!! You're the best!
Yes we DID take yearly trips until both girls decided to get married within a 10 month period. Both were going to have small weddings for say 35-50 'close' friends. Both ended up being 250 people! So my 2 darlings pretty much depleted our vacation funds.. We haven't been back since March of 07 and didn't think we would get to go back until maybe 2009 sometime if even then. We got a great pin code for $68.00 per person for room, tickets and free dining that we didn't think we could use, but maybe...... If the airfare would cooperate....
