My Mom's A Winner!

There was a FB giveaway from a online store I follow, Boutique Academia.  They make "stuff for geeks with taste." I found them about a year ago and wanted a Fibonacci necklace. The reason is that back when Russ and I first met and he was helping me pass Calculus II (this is after me stalking him for help),  one of the problem I needed help with and had to hardest time getting was Fibonacci sequences. All I remember of it now is it had something to do with bunnies and it made no sense. When I saw this beautiful necklace with the graphic representation of Fibonacci's sequence, I wanted it, a little reminder of when we met.


Now to the "winner" part. The necklace was $25 plus shipping, and a poor post doc's wife can't just spend that kind of money on jewelry. Boutique Academia had a Facebook giveaway for a $20 gift certificate. I got an extra entry by sharing the giveaway with friends on FB, so I did. My mom decided to enter too, and she won! She gave me the certificate to get my necklace. Thanks, Mom!!!! I am so excited to get my necklace. My Mom's kindness makes this necklace have even more sentimental value. I'll post pictures when I get it.
