BEST Surprise EVER!!!

Last night I came home from my little outing to Firehouse (pictures to come on that) and there was a package sitting on my counter. Jill asked if I had ordered something. Uh no, my spending diet is still on. So, I thought maybe Trent bought something. I looked at the package and it had my name on it. What?!? I could not figure out what was going on. Maybe I had won something? So I started opening it and there was a Target bag inside. My heart skipped a beat! Could it be?!? I ripped the bag open and there, in all its glory, was my dream purse!!! My friend, Sarah, was at Target over in Nebraska and noticed there was only 1 bag left, so she bought one for me!!! Can you believe it? She was afraid we would be running out here too, especially since I still have 3 weeks left of my little hiatus from shopping. This was one of the best surprises I have ever gotten to enjoy! I mean really, how nice can you be Sarah!!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

As soon as I settled down from the shock of getting this beauty in the mail, I cleaned out my wallet on a string and found a new home for all my important things. It was like Christmas! I was so excited! I even found some new things to put in the extra space this wonderful new purse gives me. Doesn't it just look like a natural part of my body in the top right picture?

However, it is kind of sad to say good bye to another long time friend. The Wallet on a String. I have had this purse just about as long as my other friends, the Dr Martens. I know some of you will not recognize me with a different purse, but it is just something everyone, including myself, will have to get used to. Don't worry though. I won't be giving this purse away. Maybe it will take over the corner of the closet that the Dr Martens previously occupied.

Sarah, you are the best and I still can't believe you did this!!! It really was the best surprise ever and I owe you BIG time!!! You made my day, or should I say, you made my Lent!!! Thanks again!!!
