The Tale of love and fate

You guessed it... of a handbag. This is a good story.

So I was at a Shopko in Wisconsin a few days ago and fell magically in love with a beautiful purse (pictured). I was with my friend Julaine who is a penny pincher, so I just couldn't buy this expensive purse in front of her. I lamented and texted a picture of the purse to Juan just to share the beauty.

Next day I'm at the airport and get a text from Juan: "Hey love, I'm at shopko right now. I was going to surprise you with that purse you wanted, but it's not here." Sad day, so I mostly gave up on the purse.

Cut to today. I had a few things to get so I stopped by Shopko. Ok I'll just look 1 last time for the purse. And yes, it was there. But that's not even the good part, it was fantastically 50% off!!! What!

No denying it. Meant. to. be. Juan couldn't find it 2 days ago because 2 days ago it wasn't on sale. It was destined I find it today.

You are too crazy/funny. What are the odds, seriously! I'm just glad it was half price! You better be sporting that purse for a good year. And it matches that new wallet you got too.
