Christmas Spirit

You could say I hit the jackpot yesterday while I was Target, but in the spirit of Christmas (and my morals) I chose to be a good samaritan. I was near the back of the store and just finished grabbing a couple of things - heading to check out. That's when I spotted it. A glowing wad of money on the ground! As I walked closer to pick it up, I thought to myself, "Are those two zeros?!?" Sure enough, lying on the ground with no one extremely close by was two, yes TWO 100 dollar bills!! I was on the phone with Drew's sister at the time, so I quickly picked up the money and "ran" into the closest isle, whispering to her what I found. At one point I think I did ask, "What should I do!!" But, I knew I needed to turn it in. If it were me, I would be furious if I lost that amount of money. And, it is the season of giving, not receiving. Plus, as Jill reminded me, good karma will come back around (and Target has cameras!). So, I did turn it in and while I can bet that that Target manager will eventually pocket the money, he did have me write my information and said in 30 days if no one claims it they usually call the person who found the money.

We'll see...

UPDATE on DREW:
I recieved and email early this morning from a Lieutenant that Drew made it to Iraq safely. I'm not sure when I will hear from him, but at least I know he is safe where he needs to be and can finally settle in, and unpack his bags (some of which he hasn't seen in a month or two!).
