What a Deal!

Today my brother, Jason, came over to visit. He needed to go to Joplin to Creative Car Audio. He's finally wanting to put a cd player in his Jeep Wrangler. After years of having his Jeep he finally decided to have one installed. I know the manager of the store in Joplin, used to date him. So I basically had to go with my mom and brother to the shop. Anyway, we head up there and we go through the typical motions of getting a cd player chosen and a date to install it. Of course I get chatted up by my previous interest, but thats nothing new coming from him. And by no means am I talking bad about him, he's a really nice guy and all, I just can't potentially have anything with him right now. Things aren't able to make that happen presently. With me back in college in Springfield and him working at his job in Joplin it makes things difficult. He's not able to make visits to me and vice versa. Anyway after we left there, we headed over to a place called Academy Sports and Outdoors. My brother was needing to find a new trampoline jumping surface. His old one got a bit chewed up in storage. So we thought maybe we could find just the mat there. No luck. Although, I have this deep fascination with athletic clothes, its quite weird, so I was meandering though all the Nike, Puma, Adidas, and Under Amour apparel and I fell in love with this white Nike jacket. I HAD to have it. I have several black jackets, but not a white one. So once I convinced my brother to get me this $40 jacket he finally agreed. We get through the check out and it turns out my jacket ended up being $10! How awesome is that! It was so meant to be. I was destined to have it, I swear. So by the end of it, I was a pretty happy camper, as was my brother since it only cost him $10 instead of $40! =)
