If Only Everyday Were Like Yesterday

The day didn't start out fabulous, but it sure turned out that way.


To start, my Breathe Right strip ripped the skin off my nose when I pulled it off. And in case you've never had the skin ripped off your nose... that freakin HURTS!!! And I sleep so much better with those strips holding my nostrils wide open, so it was a little difficult going to sleep last night.



The day got much better, though...



I had a wedding consult appointment at 1pm with the cutest girl and her mother! And WOW... it is going to be a BIG ONE. They have 9 attendants each and somewhere around 300 guests. This is HUGE for me. I was so hoping they would book, because this is such a big opportunity for me and my business. And after we met and discussed lots of details and wants/needs for the wedding day, the beautiful blonde bride and her hilarious mother left my house with all their paperwork and told me they would get back with me.


I immediately assumed the worst.. that maybe I said something wrong or didn't make a good enough impression... something...


BUT then, while I was running errands just two hours later, my phone rang. It was my beautiful bride and she told me that the signed contract and check were in the mail that they definitely wanted to go with me!!!



AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!




Not only that, but they are going with my BIGGEST package.




THIS is going to be a GREAT year!!!



ANDDDDD, we have been so worried about my Granny and her condition since she had the stroke almost two weeks ago.




Her personality has changed so much. She's very beligerant at times and this just is NOT her at all. She's the sweetest person and so much fun to be around. And it breaks our hearts to think that maybe that person is gone, replaced with this new -much less pleasant- person.




But, when I went into town yesterday, I stopped by to see her unexpectedly at the Rehab center and she was so like her old self. She was happy and cheerful and talkative. It was very reassuring. I pushed her all around the building in her wheelchair and spent time getting her settled in her room and left feeling a whole lot better about her and her condition than I had earlier. Hopefully, once she gets back home in her own environment, she'll be a hundred percent herself again.




But, between the Wedding booking and Granny being herself, yesterday was the best day I've had in a very long while. I appreciate all the prayers so much that have been sent up for her. Please keep her on your prayer list.. :)

I'm so thankful that your sweet grandma is feeling a little more like herself. :) Hopefully she'll do nothing but keep recovering and getting better :)
