BIG DAY!

This week is just jam packed with loads of exciting happenings. Yesterday, I celebrated my one year anniversary, went to Britney and got my official invitation to join the Dallas Junior League. Oh, and voting for new members of Slipper Club was last night, my fingers are crossed but I do not want to jinx anything! Today is another THRILLING day. It it the GRAND opening of Melly at their new location in Edina Galleria. Mother is celebrating with Mary and Caryn right now (I secretly think she went to stock up on more paper products and polos for India, but who am I to judge?!). We all agreed that the new location is perfect and hey you can even pick up your pair of Tory Burch Revas next door at Pumpz! Ha!Today is also HUGE because cousin Henry LEAVES the hospital!! He has been in the hospital since February 14th, 2009 and though he is not completely healed he has come a VERY LONG way! Henry is able to walk with just his waistband and a crutch now! God is SO good and he does answer prayer! It may not always be the exact answer you were hoping for, but He ALWAYS knows what is best for us. I will continue to pray that Henry heals and that the blood clot in his brain will dissolve, but for now I am SO VERY thankful he is alive, awake and ready to go home! It is an very exciting day and his homecoming come just one day before mother departs for India (I am TRES sad about this so that will be saved for tomorrow). It is proving to be a delightful week and we are only half way through!!

Miss Janice said...

That's just marvelous news about Henry!

QueenBeeSwain said...

THRILLED TO BITS over Henry's beyond fabulous news. Am sure that being at home will only lift his spirits more and prove even more helpful in his road of recovery. Thank you for the update, he and your fam have been in my thoughts and prayers.

Sooo wanted to go to the grand opening last night but it just didn't work with all that is currently on my plate. Galleria is much more appropriate- much more foot-traffic- the only reason I ever went to France and 50th was because of Melly- Anthro, Bluebird and BR were just nice extras to have there.
