or what I like to call ... the goodness factor. That really is the only explanation of how today went. As I have said before, I did go out looking for mom 0 bride dresses one other time .. didn't have any luck. Actually, I was shocked to hear that most stores (regular stores) don't even carry them in stock, you have to order them online .. etc etc etc. So last night, I was talking to my dad and Trish and she suggested ... Nordstorms. Hmmm ... I had thrown that one out to Mark for suggestions on where to go weeks ago, and he said it would be a total waste of time .. and that I couldn't get out of there for under a thousand bucks for a dress. Not quite what I was looking to spend .. so that's and easy one. But, after talking to Trish last night, I figured I have nothing to lose, so why not try it. Well went there this morning .. and 35 minutes later ... I have a dress and everything else I need, but the shoes ( which in the worst case scenario .. I can have in 5 minutes. ) So thank you .. thank you .. thank you Trish.
Love the dress.
Now what I've figured out since then is the reason Mark didn't want me to go there .. lol I have found a new favorite store that I really don't mind going shopping in. (bad news for him)
I don't like shopping, and it just kills me to go to the mall. That was pre-nordstorms ... now maybe I'll go everyday. lol I have never in my life, been to a store that was so helpful, and clean, and actually had everything in every size ... unbelievable. So after I left the store, having an incredibly easy time, getting a dress, I'm on my way to Kayla's school to listen to a study abroad informational lecture. I have a few minutes to kill .. figured I would stop and get her some fruit and muffins .. and guess what .. the Nordstorm effect kicks in .. I get the first parking spot by the door .. next stop .. Katie's school .. again the goodness of the day is still there .. get the first spot next to the door again. And, it's not just me ... Mark calls on his way home from work. We had talked about getting
Brad a certain gift for Christmas. The problem was .. we could never find it at the price we were willing to pay. He's looked for hours for this and what happens today ... He goes into a store he's been in a dozen times and the exact thing .. exactly as we wanted it, is there .. and on sale .. for that's right .. exactly what we were willing to spend.
Destiny or coincidence ... you be the judge.
