apparently winning the lottery makes you very busy, lol.
first thing monday morning sean ordered our new vehicles. i was a little surprised he moved on it that quick, but he was doing it for a sale that was ending that same day. see, winning the lottery hasn't changed the way we think about money, haha. So mine was in by the afternoon and his was in the next afternoon. i was pretty excited about it and kept hoping to take it home. not that i dont love my car because i do, i've been driving the terrain today, and i miss the stick shift already : (
monday night we got to go see sean's sister and the baby (see pic in previous post). gah, i cant believe she's finally here. now if only we had one, lol. we had a good visit. sean was a little scared to pick her up since she's so tiny, but he's getting used to it. when we saw them on tuesday, we was getting better at moving her around without being afraid of breaking her. now if i can just get him to change a diaper....
tuesday we took the day off since we didnt know how long any of what we needed to do would take us. we had an interview with ALGC for our winnings and for them to confirm details so that it was ours free and clear. we had leave without a cheque since they had to send all the information to winnipeg and they were too busy to get it done before we left the city for home. we stopped in to visit sean's old shop and his sister again since she was still in the hospital. he just has a smile plastered on his face when he sees his little neice. i love the look on his face when he looks at her <3 when we got back to town, we went to the bank to get new accounts set up for the money so that we can change the way we pay bills and split our money. im glad we're finally doing that since it's the way i wanted to do it but would've taken me years to get sean to agree to it, lol. we spent the rest of the afternoon doing little things and visiting with friends at the shop, he was even lucky enough to take his new truck home for the night.

today, we found out the paper had printed our story without calling us to confirm details or ask permission to print our names. i was a little pissed, mostly just for the fact that no one called us and we ended up in the paper with wrong information. they said we had won $3.8million when we wont about $3.4million less than that. that damn paper has a hard time with spelling and grammar all the time, i'm not really surprised they got the amount wrong, it just bothers me that no one called first. we also got to take our new vehicles home. of course that was a ton of work too. we had to sign papers, then get pink slips at the insurance office. then go back and get the run down on them and finally go home in our new vehicles. so far i like mine, its a lot bigger that my little pursuit but there's so many things it does that my little car didn't. it will be a hell of a lot more convenient for kids than my 2-door coupe.
tomoro will be a huge day, not as busy, just big. WE GET THE CHEQUE TOMORO!!! so sean's getting the cheque at work and then i'll meet him at the bank to deposit it. shouldnt take too long. after work, we also have a preliminary meeting for investments and to figure out what we should do where the mortgage is concerned. just a lot to figure out with all this money.
