Remember how I went to South Towne and had the magical fairy tale of seeing my dream coat in the window and it fit perfectly and I lived happily ever after?!? Well, today I went back to South Towne and had a wonderfully similar experience......
I've been pretty stir crazy at home lately with all this cold weather, so today I decided to get the kiddos out and I took them to the South Towne mall to ride the train and play in their play land. We were walking towards it and my eye caught something in a nearby store window. I ran over hoping what I saw was real and.......it was........ Leggings!!!!! I've been searching all over for a funky cute pair of leggings and these were the ones of my dreams! I mean absolutely perfect. Of course there was only one pair left and luckily they were my size. I went to buy them and the girl told me that if I bought another pair they were half off.........ummmmm ok!!!! So I found a different pair that is very cute too and bought them both! As I was paying for them I started chatting with the girl who was helping me. She had more tattoos then skin and piercings all over her face. She asked me if I worked and I told her how I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom. She mentioned that her boyfriend had a daughter and how she loved spending time with her especially because she wasn't from here and it's been hard making friends. I asked her where she was from and she said virginia beach. I told her that is where my brother served a mission for the LDS church and then asked her if she had heard of it or of "Mormons". She had and she said that she was really surprised how open and nice Mormons were. I told her that I was a Mormon and that I didn't know what I would do if I didn't have the church in my life. She said that she found God when she was twenty (just a few years ago) and that she has really enjoyed reading the bible. I told her how I just started reading the bible for the first time because I've only ever read the Book of Mormon. I asked her if she had ever heard of that and she hadn't so I explained what it was. It was so amazing to share something that I love and cherish with all my heart to someone that had no idea what it was. It was incredible! She was so nice and she told me that she was so grateful to have met me. I hope I sparked enough curiosity in her that maybe she will check out the Book of Mormon one day :) Wow. What a great outing! So grateful for that conversation and for my new leggings! Hehe! Aren't they cute?!?!? :)
