Bird and Brewer

On Valentine's day, Sarah Kate and I went to Belk's with the intention of getting Steve some pants. He had a Christmas gift card from there and I had a really good coupon to use.

As we were approaching Belk's door, a rather large bird came speeding right in front of us. Sarah Kate said, "Oh NO!" The bird looked REALLY stressed out. I was really stressed out at the sight of him. I thought to myself, "that is a road runner." He was trying to get in Belk's. There was a man sitting on the bench right in the entry way and I said, "what kind of bird is that?" He replied,"that's a road runner, can't imagine what it is doing here."
There was a couple right behind us talking about the bird also, The bird said, "beep, beep" as it crossed their path. No, I am just kidding, but it makes for a great story.
I don't think I have EVER entered a store so quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't even know you could see a road runner in Northwest Arkansas. Hummmm?????????

I found Steve some pants and when I checked them out the clerk said, "the coupon can't be applied to Nautica brand." Oh well, I got the pants because he needed them.
We walked around the store some more and I spotted something Steve has been talking about for several months now. It was a Keurig single coffee brewer and it was on sale. I asked a clerk if I could use my coupon on the Keurig and he said, "yes!" I had gotten Steve some candy and a card for Valentine's day earlier in the day. But, I knew he would be sooooo surprised if I got him the Keurig for Valentine's day.

We left Belk and I did not even think about the bird encounter as we walked out. I am so thankful because I may still be in Belk today if it had crossed my mind.

He came home at lunch and I just had to give it to him then!!!! He was soooo excited! He said that it was the best gift I have ever given him. WOW!
