Black Friday, Shopping and Laughs

This day Black Friday has some special memories for me with My Aunt Jan. Several times on this day we would meet to shop. One time I think I was just married so not to long ago we met at what was KB Toys; it was inside the mall so we figured it would be warmer than waiting out side. This was a very small store so the line going into the store went straight to check outs and you just grabbed things while in line. Well when we were to the end she had us split up; for time or deals I'm not really sure why. So she gave me her credit card to use not knowing it was maxed out, or maybe she did and just thought it would be funny to see how I'd handled it? Anyway, in my mind I panicked a little pulled out my credit card and used it. I was a little nervous to use it not because I was afraid I wouldn't get my money but of what my new husband would think about it.

We had many fun Christmas shopping trips and many were for gifts for my cousin Marie. After a trip or two we started planing what gift to buy at what time, where to park the car, and what to have for lunch. She loved to buy gifts for the family and I miss her and our shopping trips!
