Natural Grocers

So a couple weeks ago in the mail I got a flier for the Grand Opening for a Natural Grocers which is a health food store. On the flier it said that the first 50 people get $100.00 gift certificate to their store, the next 50 got $50.00 and the next 400 got $25. We needed groceries so bad so I saved the flier and planned on waking up early that morning to get my $100.00. As the day got closer and closer people started talking about it, it seamed like everyone was going.

Even though I had already told him about it, Brian called me on Thursday super excited to tell me about this new store opening and he told me that we are going to sleep out Friday night so that we don't miss the gift card. (men listen so well) So we decided to go around 12:00 or 1:00 in the morning to reserve our spot.

Friday night came around and we were getting anxious so Brian decided to drive by to see if anyone was there yet. It was around 9:30 pm when he got there. He called and told me that there was a couple people, but as we were talking on the phone more and more people were driving up and getting out of their cars, so Brian decided to get in line before it got longer. So at this time I called my friends Chelsie and Matt who were already packed up and ready to go. They went to save the spot while Brian came to pick Kambree and I up along with some chairs, blankets, games, and even Karl. When we got there it was about 10:30 and there were about 20 people in line. I was relieved to know that we were for sure getting that hundred dollars! Sam met up with us and some of her friends. At first they weren't really planning on staying, but they since they were there, they decided to hop in line since they would for sure get that hundred dollars also. In the beginning it was pretty easy to stay awake, more and more people continued to come. The new people just getting there would come to the front and start counting to make sure that they were in the first 50 people. So many came to count us that I remember where we were in line. Matt, Chelsie, Brian and I were numbers 5, 6, 7 and 8 and Sam and her friends were 24, 25 and 26!

Kambree would not go to sleep. She fell asleep a couple times, but not for more than 10 minutes. There was just so much going on like the girls next to us playing slap jack and the man talking so loud all night long that the whole line could hear him. By the morning time, everyone was sick of him! Anyways, she wasn't fussy and she didn't cry, she just wouldn't sleep! Around 2:45 in the morning she was still awake and happy just getting attention from everybody! I decided that it was getting too late so I put her in the car and drove around for a little bit, after that she was out till about 6:00 am. She defiantly got the most sleep out of all of us!

I am not sure what time it was when Brian and I finally laid down but when we did, we didn't get much sleep, it started to rain. It was really more of a sprinkle. Anyways, it was an eventful long night! But when they opened the doors, I got $100, Brian got $100 and Samantha got $100.

$300.00 total for organic groceries!!
