Kristin

Today's Beautiful Thing is my cousin Kristin. I had a really great time at her wedding shower this afternoon. I can't believe she's not only getting married next month, but getting her BA in nursing next week! It seems like only yestrday she was born. Congratulations Kristin!

What a Guy!

Today's Beautiful Thing is my thoughtful hubby. When I got home from work, he told me he was going to take me to a store that sells these jeans I really like. He saw the jeans in an ad and called to find out how late the store was open. That was a Beautiful thing to do.

Kissy Face

Today's Beautiful Thing is my little French Bulldog. Ace is very loving today. Kisses, kisses, kisses. :)

Good Shopping

Today's Beautiful Thing is buying the perfect gifts. My mom & I put our $ together so we could get something special for my cousin's bridal shower. With Mom's 20% off coupon (go Mom!) we were able to get 4 place settings of her everyday dishes as well as a fancy set of salt & pepper grinders. What a pretty table she'll have! :)

Dr. C

Today's Beautiful Thing is our brand new vet. It turns out what Lulu has is much more serious than a torn ACL--my poor baby! Dr. C came highly recommended by my friend K and we've been meaning to visit him for some time. We took Lulu (and her x-rays) for a second opinion today. It turns out, he happens to specialize in the kind of surgery she needs. Not only that, he's straightforward, honest, and caring, just like my friend K said he was. Oh, happy day! We found our new vet and he's definitely worth the drive!

Pick Up

Today's Beautiful Thing is the 24 hour emergency vet. Lulu tore her ACL this weekend and we are fortunate to have an ER nearby. Today they let me pick up copies of her x-rays to take to another vet for a second opinion. Great service and nice people make Lulu (and me) smile.

Grace

Today's Beautiful Thing is my cousin Grace. She is going through a very difficult time right now and we are all praying for her. I love you, Grace. I know all will be well. xoxo (Pictured: Mom, Lisa (Grace's Daughter), Grace & me in June 2007)
