Choosing Joy Among the Christmas Craziness: Day 6

Today was the big shopping day for Ashley and I. We went to Great Lakes Crossing Mall in Auburn Hills. We decided to go there, because Ashley wanted to go to Joe's Crab Shack for her birthday dinner.


So we had our lists, and went at it!...but not so fast. We got there between 12 and 12:30, so we had to eat lunch first. Then Ashley did some shopping with birthday money she received. And we went to a couple other stores. I think it was about 3 by the time we bought our first Christmas present! :) And we already had a locker to hold everything we bought! But then we got right into it and crossed people off our list one-by-one.

But anyways, I chose joy this day instead of complaining about my back being in pain, and my feet hurting, and whatever else was wrong that I normally complain about when shopping. I just enjoyed the day with Ashley, away from work, away from school. I may have mentioned my back hurting and things like that, but I never whined. Did I do okay, Ashley? :)
