Kind People on Black Friday

I love Black Friday!
I'm all about getting a good deal.
(Except I won't step in Walmart on Black Friday, I don't want to get trampled or die)

This year, Mari and I hit up Target last night about a half hour after they opened.
It only took us maybe 15 min to get in.
Not bad at all.
We were there to only get a few little things and didn't grab a cart
(not like there was a cart for us to grab anyway).
Then we saw boots on sale and thought of our SIL, Tamara. 
So we got her two sizes.
So here we are two pregnant ladies walking/waddling(we both had to pee really bad too) around with two big boot boxes, water bottles, some movies, our jackets(because it was freakin' hot in there), and dog treats(for Mari's dogs).
We finally found the line to check out and we must have looked like we needed help because two guys behind us told us we could put all of our stuff in their cart while we waiting in line together.
They told us they could't watch two pregnant ladies with their hands full and not help.
HOW NICE!
They were both married and had some of their sisters join us in line later.
So the 30 min it took us to get through the line was eased because of these two strangers.
I'm so grateful there are still nice people in this world. 
I can't imagine what Mari and I would have done/looked like if they wouldn't have offered to help.
These guys followed us all the way to the actual check out stand, and got all of our stuff out and put it on the belt for us.
Thank you nice strangers for doing a great act of service for us.

Lesson to be learned...
Even with the crazy shopping this time of year, remember you can still be helpful and nice to the people around you.
