Amazing Luck and Blessing!
Here is the whole story of Las Vegas( or as Gabe calles it lost Vegas my cute 2 year old), this summer i am not even sure the month i was flipping through a paper and ran upon a flyer for a contest for the chance to win a million dollars,first thought no one ever wins these things just set it a side and had a feeling what can you lose from signing up. So i thought American worker of the year that totally reminds me of cayleb so i am going to enter him so wrote a little about him and the amazing man he is and how when i got diagnosed he lost his job and our insurance had to go on cobra for a while and instead of giving up he took on a job at auto zone with pay that cant support our family but had insurance and then found his second job at Honest One which pays better but doesn't have the benefits so he began working the two jobs and how we decided to shut down my studio that we had for just over 4 years and how to me he is the an American worker of the year and i was hoping that he would see how much i apprecitated him and all his hard work and hoped they would see it to. A few months went by and i got a call on my cell from Dickies there employee Jeana she was in charge of Marketing. She went on to tell me that cayleb need to call because he was a potential regional finalist and that he need to set up an interview with the top people of Dickies so a week later Cayleb had an phone interview with the presidents of Dickies in many of the different departments they asked Cayleb all kinds of Questions (an hour long interview). A week went by so we thought oh they deiced on someone else which okay no big deal i guess. Then they called me again and said have cayleb call us back as soon as possible Wow i had no idea what this meant so i went to caylebs work and on his lunch brake he called them back and while he was on the phone he came out and asked me what my name said on my licence and i thought what for then he came and asked what size of clothes do i where (cool he won clothes)he talked for a while then got of and i said oh what was that all about did you win clothes and he said ya and i am the regional finalist winner and i said do you know what that means and he said well we are going to Vegas and i said ya and you just won 10,000 dollars! He seriously didn't know what to say he was so surprised i thought he doesn't get it and seriously for like a month i don't think it sunk in and for a couple of months while we were waiting to go to Vegas they sent out photgrapehrs and videoographers and newspaper and he did photo shots and interview which was so crazy and fun. Now we will skip to Vegas So we left on Oct.29th it was a Thursday morning from the Salt Lake airport at 9:45 am and Arrived in Vegas at 11:30am and it was so cool when we got off the airplane there was a driver with a sign with our last name on it like in the movies it was so cool then he took us in a town car to the Mandalay bay (the hotel)Wow it is beautiful from the outside but the inside is amazing we were met by a guy named Jeff hew was the coordinator of everything he gave us all our info to check in and up to the room we went i was in aah it was so cool and huge i loved it we decided to go get lunch left the room and when we came back the was a gold box with Wine and glasses and engraved on them was Dickies American Worker of The Year which wow we don't drink but it was so cool we took it home with us then they had a plate of cheeses and fruit so that was so cool. Then that night was our first cocktail and Meet and great of everyone. The help the cocktails at the top floor of hotel at the Club called the mix with was really cool you could see all of Vegas and the funny experience i had there was i had to use the restroom well it was a toilet with a huge window so you could look at the view while using the bathroom really it tripped me out but that was really fun and we met so awesome people and had so much fun i wish we could escape again that was to fun.
