Serendipity

I am working on a scrapbook of my college years, and so today my mom and I were in this scrapbook store looking at paper and stickers and stuff. I asked the girl working there if they had any stickers or whatever that had to do with friends, since most of my college photos are of my friends and me. She looked at a couple racks, but said she thought they must be out of the ones she thought I would want.

Resigned to not being able to get what I wanted, I went to the register to pay. Just at that moment a woman came up asking to return a sheet of stickers. The store's policy does not allow for returns, but lo and behold, she was trying to return the very sheet of stickers that was sold out! I looked at it, and it was perfect! We paid the woman, and it made both of us happy- she because she got her money back, and I because I got the stickers I wanted.

Serendipity.
