Blessed Beyond Measure: Black Friday

I know some people think that people that stay up all night/early morning to black friday shop are crazy. Up until a little over two years ago I was most likely in that category. Then I was invited to go Black Friday shopping with my husbands cousin Melissa and her Mom Patsy. I had such a blast and finished my shopping in just a few hours. It was amazing!

So last year was my second year. Again had a blast. This year it was different. As we now live in Louisiana and we were staying with Melissa and Daniel on that weekend. So when we got back from all of our Thanksgiving meals with family. Melissa, Patsy and I sat down and discussed what our game plan was. They then told me that Wal-mart had changed their policy. Everything except electronics was available at midnight. Then electronics at 5 AM. Unfortunately I wanted something considered an electronic for one of my kids. So even though we were done with our other shopping in about 20 or 30 minutes we got to sit in a line for the next 4 + hours. I am thankful that I had the great company of Patsy, Melissa and Rachelle. It defiantly made the time pass by more quickly. That plus the fact we were all playing with our phones.

This was Brandy's first year to black Friday shop. I am not sure if she will go again or not. However I am glad she gave it a try. I was able to pick up what she needed that was released at 5 with no problem after I got what I was in line for. Thankfully there was not a line for what she needed.

This is Melissa and I at around midnight waiting for the okay to get what we were after. I am so thankful that her and Patsy helped me out this year I was after quit a bit. Pretty much finished everything that day just need one more thing and some gift cards.

Patsy and Melissa waiting in line with me. . .now that is love! I am so thankful also that Patsy agreed to wrap my presents so I wouldn't have to drive them (and hide them in the van) here then drive them back. So super sweet!

So after we went back to Melissa's and crashed for several hours. Patsy, Melissa and I got back up and went to the mall. We picked up the things we needed then hit the spa for pedicure's and manicure's. It was so great! I love my purple toes with snowflakes!
