Keeley is walking!

So tonight when were all just sitting around - Todd was trying to research options for us to figure out how to stop our stupid smoke alarms that go off randomly, the girls were just playing - and Hello! Here comes Keeley walking across the room (Todd estimated 10 feet) to me! From her rocking chair into my arms. It really couldn't have been better timed or played out... I love that we were all together to see it - especially since Todd is headed down to AZ next week. Here comes another way to get into everything FAST! Now I need to get the vid posted, but have discovered that blogger removed its upload option for videos? Hmmm..

  

 Day 3 of 30 Day Challenge

20 minutes already getting easier, but my triceps are screaming at me! 

Apparently it's been too long since I did a minute of push ups... 

It pays to keep your cool...

Today I went out to Macy's to buy a couple of wedding shower and wedding gifts. There was a guy in the dishes/china area who, when I asked, didn't seem to know much about finding the correct sku #s or anything about the Fiestaware that I needed to find. Anyway, after finally finding the right items (does anyone else have a hard time with this besides me?) and trying to make sure that the stroller and Sarah didn't destroy all the breakable things around us we went to go pay. I was quite clear that I had two separate wedding registries I was buying from, but the guy COMPLETELY messed up the transaction. Only one gift receipt (which said it was a gift to the bride from the bride - not me), and he only took the items off one of the registries - not both yada, yada, yada... By this time we had been at the register for at least 15 minutes. He was searching for the bride's name through all the Jennifer's in the Seattle area....not by her last name.... Yeah, you got the picture.

 I was very conscious of my attitude through all of this and tried to politely inform those around me to choose a different line if they wanted to be helped in a timely manner while my purchase was taking a long time. Both girls were past needing to get out of there and so was I, but the Lord really does answer prayer! I kept my cool despite my growing frustration.

Thankfully a wonderful woman, Françoise, stepped in and rescued me. She fixed everything. Separate gift receipts, found a box for the dishes, and even gave me the $10 off a $25 purchase TWICE! Then she walked me out to my car!

So thankful... I will definitely be writing a glowing letter to Macy's on her behalf!

Have a great weekend!
