Shoppa-palooza & a Sad Day

It all started with a Coach purse...

I went to Macy's to see if they had the butterfly purse that I had been stalking. They didn't, in fact no Macy's from here to NYC had one. I decided that I would look at some others to see what was out there. The lady at Macy's gave me a rare coupon that actually works on Coach purses. I decided that on Thursday after work I would head to Indy to look at the bigger Macy's.

My mom then mentioned that she was off on Friday for Oaks day. We decided to use my fabulous employee discount to meet in Edinburgh and stay at a Hampton in. Which meant I could also look for a purse at the Coach outlet! I found a beautiful Coach purse Thursday and bought it. It was a great deal too.

Friday morning mom and I got up and had breakfast and got showers. Mom was in the shower when I got a call from dad. He had called to let mom know that he was let go from his job. He had been with the company since I was an infant. The event definitely put a damper on the shoppa-palooza.

It was a very hard day for the Hammond family. We know that God has a reason for allowing this to happen. Please pray for my Dad to find a job soon. Also, please pray for the family...it has been hard for us all.

Laura tell your dad I will be praying for him to find a job. I know it is hard after being with a place for along time. I don't believe any jobs are safe now a days.

I was so sad to hear that. Chris and I prayed for your family last night before bed.
