Kurtis the Stock Boy and Brenda the Checkout Girl

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy was busily working when a new
voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry-out at register 4.
Kurtis was almost finished and wanted to get some fresh air, so he
decided to answer the call. As he approached the checkout stand, a
distant smile caught his eye ~ the checkout girl was beautiful. She was
an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love.

Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock
to find out her name. She came into the break room, smiled softly at
him, took her card, punched out, and then left. He looked at her card,
BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. Next
day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a
ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he
dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of
work. She simply said it wasn't possible.

He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't
afford a babysitter, so he offered to pay for the babysitter.
Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the following
Saturday. That Saturday night, he arrived at her door only to have her
tell him that she was unable to go with him. The babysitter had called
and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's take the kids
with us."

She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but
again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda brought
him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just
as cute as a bug, Kurtis thought, and then Brenda brought out her son,
in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Downs Syndrome.

Kurtis told Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come
with us." Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with
two kids, especially if one had disabilities ~ just like her first
husband and father of her children had done. But Kurtis was not
ordinary he had a different mindset.

That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids and went to dinner and
the movies. When her son needed anything, Kurtis would take care of
him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his
wheelchair, took him, and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At
the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to
marry and spend the rest of her life with.

A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children.
Since then they have added five more kids.

So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy at a grocery store in Cedar
Falls, Iowa and Brenda the checkout girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner
now live in Arizona where he is currently employed as the quarterback of
the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his Cardinals in
the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super Bowl. Is this a
surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary
person.

It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl
XXXVI...and he has also been the NFL's Most Valuable Player twice and
the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player. He established the First Things
First Foundation in the spring of 2001 with wife Brenda to promote
Christian values and bless the lives of those less fortunate with
projects such as trips to Disney World for ill children, building
recreation centers in children's hospitals, helping single moms achieve
the dream of homeownership and teaching Special Olympians the football
basics. All projects are centered on Kurt and Brenda's life theme: faith
and family come first. The official website is:
