A Fantastic Discovery

Our pastor and his wife are wonderfully generous people. They let us borrow their car this weekend, which made it possible for us to do some necessary shopping out of walking distance, and even meet up with Reid's cousin for a few hours during her layover at the airport. Plus having a vehicle helped us make a fantastic discovery.

Now, anyone who knows me well knows I'm a bit Disney-crazy. There isn't a Disney store I can walk to, or take the train to, but there is one at a mall a couple cities north of us. So Reid and I drove to the mall Saturday evening. The place didn't look like much from the outside, but it was great on the inside. There were all the usual mall shops, along with stores like Sanrio and Charlotte Russe. But as we approached one of the ends, there perfection appeared.

Cinnabon!!! Now I love Cinnabon cinnamon rolls possibly more than any other sweet treat. But the eateries are far and between. I even try to plan my flights so I can land in an airport with one. Yummy. Totally scrumptious.

When I spotted the Cinnabon, my mouth dropped open and I froze. Reid followed my gaze and broke into a grin. Having already visited the Disney Store and Sanrio, and having passed Charlotte Russe, he couldn't imagine what I would respond to in such a way. We, of course, went and bought a cinnabon to share. Then I had to call my parents to let them know of the treasure we had found not far from home. What a fantastic discovery!

Haha! You and my husband would get along very well. He always begs for a Cinnabon when we go to the mall. His fav. I don't actually like them much, but I'd bet your face was SUPER cute upon realizing you were so near your favorite little treat, without even knowing it! :)

Pastor victor and becky are two of the most amazing people that I have never met. I would of left the church, but I basically go because of them. :) I am so glad you guys got out...

My goal is to buy a car soon. Hopefully student loan gets cleared soon. When I get a car, anytime you need a ride, I will give you guys a ride

Have an amazing week hon
