I just found out today that I won a 5 day/4 night all expenses paid trip to Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas in March for me and a guest, through my work. It is really the highest honor you can get through my work to be awarded this. They only take a handful of people and you have to meet very strict criteria in order to win it. So to say it is difficult to win is an understatement.
Well I didn't think I was going to win it, because of some things going on with the job so I didn't mention it to anyone. My brother and SIL had previously asked me to be my darling niece's Godmother, which means a lot to me and I am so honored that they asked me. They have since set up for the baptism to be March 10th, and have ordered the invitations. The problem is the trip is March 7-11.
I called my brother and SIL to explain the whole thing to them just to get their input, and offered to pay for new invitations to be made, my brother, however made me feel like a terrible person for even suggesting that they try to have the baptism another day.
I don't know what to do or say. I am a wreck and have been crying all afternoon. So my questions are what would you all do? Am I totally out of line for thinking they could look at another date for that? Should I just forfeit my trip I worked so hard to get?
