Sample Sales

I love this time of year at work. Right before Christmas all of the merchandise department start cleaning out the sample rooms to make room for new merchandise. What does that mean for me. Sample sales and Ebid. Yesterday I went to a children's sample sale and although they didn't have much for small boys I did manager to pick up 6 3T shirts for $12 bucks. You can't beat it. And today I picked up endless pajama pants, a few belts, a pair of sunglasses and a nice handbag for under $20 bucks. The only downside is that you only have 10 minutes to shop. You can imagine the site with 30 women at one time sorting though a variety of items trying to find the best stuff all in 10 minutes time. Its alot of fun but can be quite stressful sometimes.

I am so excited about my purchases and can't wait to start wearing them.

Thought for the day

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

A friend sent me this today and it really spoke to me. Everything we go thru good and bad happens for a reason. The next time I am having a bad day I am going to remember this and just think about how God uses these things to shape me into the person I am meant to be.

Zoo

We went to the zoo a couple weeks back and here are a few pictures. Jaden really had a good time and loved seeing all of the animals.


Jaden loved to look at the pigs. They were very dirty and smelly and even Jaden agreed they needed a bath.

This picture came out surprising well even thought Jaden wasn't too thrilled about taking it.
