Shoe Surprise

Friday, October 17, 2008

This weekend, my high school friend, Prentiss Kitchens is getting married. I am an honorary bridesmaid in this wedding. Being an honorary bridesmaid is great because you just find a dress in a certain color. So, I was able to borrow one from my sister (with the help of SPANX, of course!). The only thing was that I had not had any luck finding shoes to go with the dress!! STRESS!! We had company at the beginning of the week, and I was swamped with school every single day!! So, Thursday - the day we were to leave - I planned to make a final search for ANYTHING that would work. As I was leaving school, I received a text from Russ asking me to come by the house before looking for shoes. I believe his exact words were, "It's a long shot, but I got some shoes for you." Oh dear! was my first thought. So, I made my way home, anxiously anticipating the wardrobe selection. I came in the door only to find a nicely displayed dress with THREE shoes to choose from!!!

Russ's display! How cute!

It was a very hard decision. They were all so pretty!! I finally went with the ones on the left. The beading matched the beads from the dress exactly! Great job, Russ!!

Now, I'm making this disclaimer for Russ. He never has and probably never will do this again! But, I am so thankful that he felt the urge to find these shoes! What a relief!
