Date Night!

Last night I got to have a nice date night with Brenden. Since he's always working during the week, it's very rare that we get to go out together anymore. So, we went to Big A's in downtown St. Charles for dinner, took a short walk on the Katy Trail, went to the Hobby Shop and then Toys 'R Us. While we were at the Hobby Shop, Brenden spotted four cardboard boxes in the back of the store full of magazines that were marked "50 cents each". We immediately started tearing through the boxes pulling out every single 'Trains Magazine' that he didn't have. When we were finished, the total count was...*insert drum roll here*...75 MAGAZINES! It was crazy. He carried all 75 of them up to the front counter and the look on the cashier's face was priceless at the least. Brenden looked at her with a huge grin and said, "I've got some readin' material." She broke out into a laugh a proceeded to count all 75 magazines to make sure that was the correct total. I think she was a little exausted afterwards. After ringing up all the magazines, the total price came to $39.75! It was such a good deal because if he would have gotten those magazines at full price, it would have costed over $400. Needless to say, he was a very happy camper when we left the store. I just wonder what he's gonna do after he reads all of them...oh boy, I don't even want to think about it. :P
